15. Reference: "Environmental Concerns." Connie, the president of a company that makes
paper, has a new interest in the environment. She recently went to a seminar on
environmental dangers and has decided to take steps to clean things up. She started at home
and has now felt compelled to change things at work. Connie had to face the fact that her
company has been cheating and is not in compliance with applicable environmental
regulations due to dumping in the nearby river. Her company has never been cited because it
employs a very large number of people in the community, including the mayor's wife and the
chief-of-police's brother. On her mission to clean things up, Connie has decided to go even
further than the law requires and install the very latest environmental protections. When she
announced her plan, the chair of the company's board of directors, Brooke, had a meeting
with Connie. Brooke told Connie to analyze the situation carefully because the cost of the
additional equipment would mean no dividend to shareholders and no raise for employees.
Furthermore, Brooke told Connie that installing all the new equipment would result in higher
prices for the company's paper produce and could bankrupt the company because of foreign
competition. Brooke hinted that Connie could be fired if she persisted. Brooke suggested that
Connie just be concerned with a minimal standard of ethics.
Which of the following is the minimal standard that a business must meet in a consideration
of business ethics suggested by Brooke?
A. Decisions must be legal.
B. Decisions must meet the criteria of a follower of deontology.
C. Decisions must meet the criteria of a follower of utilitarianism.
D. Decisions must receive a majority vote of acceptance by employees.
E. Decisions must be legal and decisions must receive a majority vote of acceptance by
employees.
