Is Business Bluffing Ethical ? Carr

Business people all, at one time or an other, feel the pressure to deceive | Agreement, of both parties, implies a host of benefits for either the individual or the company or for both. | Carr gives the example of a Cornell honour graduate who, in a psychological test, has to lie which he thinks will be more in sync with the policies of his employer

...Albert Z. Carr Critique

Influence of Act of Deception on Individual

Cornell honours graduate may have been financially rewarded by deciding to play the game through the act of deception, but in the long run he has sacrificed something greater, namely, the sense of personal integrity, values and identity | In order to play the game the individual must necessarily be in bad faith. One must hide ones true self and project a false image based on what is expected of one | The individual himself neither achieves nor gains anything as long as his true identity remains hidden behind his constructed self | Thus, the individual becomes a person imprisoned by self-deception
