Introduction
We’re studying business ethics and every day when we go in our places of business we see so many people such as mangers, leader, and assign shift leaders lacking the knowledge of ethics. We have so many people not living in the deontological ethic world. Their living in their own world doing what they have to do no matter who it affect as long as they get what they want or need.

"Never avoid doing anything because you fear it won't work," Greatbatch told University at Buffalo engineering students in 1990, the Buffalo News reported. "You shouldn't look only for success or peer approval. You should just do your work because it's a good thing to do (Unite Press International, 2011)."
Greatbatch, an inventor, engineer and industrialist, appeared to succeed more often than fail, judging by his more than 350 U.S. and foreign patents. But he was best known for creating the pacemaker (Unite Press International, 2011).
After he joined the faculty of the University at Buffalo, he worked on new transistors recording high-frequency heart sounds. By mistake, he installed a resistor with the wrong resistance, but he recognized that the pulse it created was identical to a normal beating heart, Greatbatch said in his book "The Making of the Pacemaker (Unite Press International, 2011)."
Greatbatch realized that the new circuit could be used to
