Martha McCaskey works for a information,values
division of Praxis that specializes in
industry analysis. McCaskey's current
project requires her to obtain
proprietary __________ about the
competitor of her client. All solutions
to successfully complete the project
result in a compromise of
McCaskey's _____.
The first alternative includes setting Devon,4000,uncomfortable
up another meeting with ______ and
paying him the $____ for the
information needed. McCaskey feels
___________ with this alternative because
it compromises her personal values
of honesty and integrity. However,
she is also lacking confidence in
whether this really is just a
"gentleman's industrial espionage" -
something that sounds less
dishonest.
,The second alternative includes her Kauffmann,information,honesty,integrity,less
handing over the second interview
with Devon to Kaufmann.__________ has
much experience in obtaining
information that is considered
proprietary in the past. In addition,
McCaskey will still be promoted to
group manager if she does not
conduct the second interview with
Devon herself. As long as Praxis
collects the necessary ___________ about
the manufacturing processes and
costs for building a new type of
computer chip McCaskey will be
promoted. The main problem with
this course of action is that it still
conflicts with McCaskey's personal
values of ________ and __________. The main
benefit is that she can rationalize that
her hands are slightly ____dirty in the
process.
, The third alternative includes reporting,behavior
McCaskey __________ this unethical
________ to a superior of Praxis.
Because there are no formal written
guidelines that discourages a Praxis
employee to gain what may be
considered proprietary information
by paying a large sum to a contact,
McCaskey must present this
information to upper management
that will enforce regulations to be
met. In addition, Praxis is made up of
four divisions with the Industry
Analysis Division very separate from
the other three branches. These
branches may be unaware of the
practices taking place in Industry
Analysis Division; therefore,
McCaskey may feel it is pertinent to
inform them of such practices. This
would be a courageous move for
McCaskey and may carry great
benefits. If guidelines are set she
may feel her personal values are
more compatible with Praxis's and
more importantly Industry Analysis's
values; thus, she will continue
working for Praxis.
