A Friend Is a Manager at a Small Technology Firm

question 1

Essay

A friend is a manager at a small technology firm that manufactures radiology equipment, such as CAT scanners. He states that shareholders want him to increase profits, so he is willing to do whatever it takes to increase profits. In fact, he has the opportunity to get a contract with a supplier who will supply parts at a lower cost, but the quality will be noticeably worse. However, as the hospital is the only one in this rural area, most patients do not have the option to go to another hospital. What can you tell your friend about behaving ethically?
