Question#3

You work for a company that is constructing a major football stadium. The day that the stadium is finished, large cracks appear in the supporting walls. It turns out that your company's purchasing director bought cement from a new and inexperienced company. You find out that the cement supplier was no cheaper than the other suppliers who had bid for the contract but that the son of your purchasing director happens to run the cement company.
Is this an ethical issue and why?

A. Yes - the cement supplier clearly knew that it was providing faulty materials
B. Yes - your purchasing director has had a conflict of interest in this matter
C. No - there is no evidence to show that the company knew that the cement was faulty
D. No - the cement supplier was clearly chosen on the basis of value for money rather than personal connections

Question#4

Which of the following factors must be taken account of in complying with this duty?

Question#5

You work for an airline company and discover a series of regular payments made to a lobbying group that campaigns to allow people freedom to fly as and when they choose without being taxed for contributing to global warming. The group's website includes specific commentary that claims to 'expose the myth of global warming'. Neither your company nor the lobbying group (which describes itself as 'independent') mention the financial link between your organizations.
Is this an ethical issue and why?

A. Yes - the lobbying group appears to be funded at least in part by your company so it is not independent and is therefore misleading people about its status
B. Maybe - depending on whether the lobbying group is funded by other airlines as well as your company
C. No - companies are entitled to fund any groups that they choose, particularly if it is in their financial interest. Neither party has done anything unethical
D. No - there is unlikely to be any connection between the payments and the group's aims. After all, companies regularly fund Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and other types of organization
