question 147

Multiple Choice

Jay and Jim Spears own a lawn irrigation system business. They perform installations and maintenance of these systems. Several of their customers are golf courses, but they serve a large group of residential customers as well. When they started the business ten years ago, they made a pact to always operate within the legal limits of the law, but lately, the competition is eating them alive.

• C) Small businesses may not be able to worry about ethics codes. These types of documents are better suited for big business.
