Description
Answer the following questions and also the 4 questions on page 20 of the attached Ch. 10 PDF, in the Ethics in Practice Case "The Beast of Bentonville" You should recognize that your answers to these discussion questions should be well reasoned and supported with evidence. Make certain that you use chapter material and theory as the basis for your answers. No outside material. All work must be original as this will be submitted through Turnitin. No plagiarism.
1. Can you think of any additional benefits or negative side effects of technology in business that has not been mentioned in this chapter? Discuss.
2. Do you agree that society is intoxicated with technology? Does this pose special problems for business with respect to the ethics of technology? Will such intoxication blind people to ethical considerations in business?
3. Do you think business is abusing its power with respect to invasion of privacy of consumers? Is surveillance of consumers in the marketplace a fair practice? Which particular practice do you think is the most questionable?
4. Is it an exaggeration to question the ethical implications for business of cell phone and textmessaging use? Discuss both sides of this issue.
5. Do you think genetically modified foods (GMFs) raise a legitimate safety hazard? Should government agencies such as the FDA take more action to require safety testing? Do you think labeling unfairly stigmatizes GMFs and makes consumers question their safety? Explain your answers.
6. Drawing on the notions of moral, amoral, and immoral management introduced in Chapter 7, categorize your impressions of (a) Nestle, the infant formula controversy; (b) Union Carbide, in the Bhopal tragedy; and (c) Google, in moving its search engine out of China.
7. As an MNC seeks to balance and honor the ethical standards of both the home and host countries, conflicts inevitably will arise. What criteria do you think managers should consider as they try to decide whether to use home or host country ethical standards? Does it depend on the ethical issue involved? Explain.
8. Differentiate between a bribe and a grease payment. Give an example of each.
9. Conduct research for purposes of updating the latest rankings of Transparency International and the activities of the OECD, UNCAC, and individual country initiatives. How could countries such as China, India, and Russia most effective improve their TI rankings?
10. What are the major strategies companies might employ in improving global business ethics? What
are the key steps research has shown are important to successful company anticorruption efforts?

Management Questions
1. Are there any benefits or negative side effects of technology in business that have
not been mentioned in this chapter? Discuss.
Technology has led to improved performance at the workplace, faster and remote
communication through social media platforms and live broadcasting, video conferencing, and
instant messaging. Besides, it helps enhance a business’ competitive advantage and increase
efficiency enabling the business to compete effectively with other larger corporations in the
market or economy (Carroll and Buchholtz, 2014). Companies can leverage on technology to
produce or deliver quality goods and services. Nonetheless, adopting and maintaining technology
can be very expensive to the business. The cost of installing and employing technology experts
can be very high. The dynamic nature of the technology can render the current technology
obsolete (Ferrell, 2015). Environmental pollution, unemployment, unsatisfying jobs, cybercrimes, infringement of privacy and intellectual rights, defamation and depletion of natural
resources are some of technological challenges.
2. Do you agree that society is intoxicated with technology? Does this pose special
problems for business with respect to the ethics of technology? Will such
intoxication blind people to ethical considerations in business?
The society is intoxicated with technology, for instance, majority of people ignore the
fact that global warming is primarily caused by technology and many other people think the
same technology will allow humans to stop the imminent disaster. Currently, people are much
focused on their smartphones leading to minimal face-face conversation. Technology affects
relationship and valuable family time (Carroll and Buchholtz, 2014). Technology affects

3. Do you think business is abusing its power with respect to invasion of privacy of
both consumers and employees? What about surveillance? Which particular
practice do you think is the most questionable?
The business environment is dynamic hence, there is need to balance statutory
requirements, corporate practices, and employees/consumer concerns with regards to privacy
protection. Business can abuse their powers when invading entities or individual privacy when
they misuse the privilege for malicious intent (Ferrell, 2015). Businesses might need the
information for taxation, billing, back ground checking, or fulfilling other legal requirements
which do not amount to infringement of privacy. Similarly, surveillance for malicious intent or
selfish gains constitutes infringement of privacy contrary to the constitution. Phone tapping,
intercepting e-mail, physical surveillance or other forms of surveillance without a person’s
consent or knowledge is illegal. Surveillance done on high risk or criminal individuals within the
confines of the law is acceptable (Carroll and Buchholtz, 2014). Infringement of privacy is the
most questionable since it violates...
