Case Study
Assignment: Ethical Dilemma in Practice (Chapter1- 4)
Scenario
You are a mid-level manager at GlobalTech, a multinational firm that manufactures smart home devices.
Recently, the company has been under pressure to deliver new products faster to compete with rivals.
•
Background: Last year, GlobalTech faced public criticism after a data privacy breach, which
hurt its reputation and trust with consumers.
•
Current Issue: A new product, “SmartLife Hub,” is set for release. During testing, your
engineering team discovers a flaw: under certain conditions, the device may record conversations
without user consent. Fixing the issue will delay launch by three months and cost millions.
•
Organizational Pressure: Your CEO emphasizes “beating the competition” and privately
suggests you ignore the issue for now, promising a software patch after launch.
•
Stakeholders: Customers, employees, investors, regulators, and your own career are all affected.
Short answers:
Answers:
1. Is this problem only a legal issue, or also an ethical one? How does trust and reputation play into
your decision? [3 Marks]
2. Apply two prescriptive approaches (e.g., utilitarianism vs. deontology) to decide whether to
launch the product now or delay. Explain how each approach leads to a different outcome. [4
Marks]
3. How might individual differences (e.g., locus of control, cognitive moral development, or moral
disengagement) influence how managers in your team perceive this issue? Give examples of
different responses. [3 Marks]
