Walden University Ethics versus Legality in An Organization Discussion
Post a 225- to 300-word (3- to 4-paragraph) explanation of the impact of unethical behaviors and business practices on an organization. In your explanation, address the following:
- Do you agree with the statement that ethics are more important than legality in an organization? Why or why not?
- How might unethical—but legal—business behaviors or practices affect an organization? What about behaviors or business practices that are both unethical and illegal?
- Provide two examples of unethical business behavior or business practices—one legal, one illegal. These examples should be from the news, from social media, or from personal experiences.
- For each example, include the potential impact of the behavior/business practice on an organization. Consider the impact on individual employees, on relationships within teams and with leaders, as well as on the success of the business.
- To support your response, be sure to reference at least one properly cited scholarly source.
