Summary: Abco Snack Food Corn
In this scenario, George has a tough decision to make. I think George should continue to look for another corn supplier that sells quality corn at a reasonable rate. George can also find out who supplys their competitior Abco Snack Food corn and try to get the corn for the same price. George can ship the grain outside the United States to make a profit, but I believe that is a wrong choice. George knows the corn is contaminated so he should not sell the corn to anyone even if it is legal to ship the grain internationally. Hurting others for self gain or advancement is immoral. I understand that George is trying to make something happen so that the employees will not get laid off, but George has to think about the people the corn may affect
as well. George needs to be aware of the damage it may do to the U.S. relationship with foreign countries if they find out the U.S. shipped them contaminated products. Honest and ethical firms ensure the codes of conduct apply to all business transactions regardless if their products are sold locally or around the global (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2013). Jake made it straightforward and understandable that he was not going to sign the paperwork because he did not want to be accountable for any problems. Ethical business dealing requires companies to give stakeholders accurate and truthful reports and enforces transparency in all transactions of activity Ferrell et, al, 2013). George needs to do the right thing which is not selling the corn. It is wrong for George to take unnecessary risks bending the rules and engaging in unethical activities just to receive a bonus or keep up with rivals.
