Scenario 1:

I would close the Facebook window and attempt the Quiz through the best of my own abilities,
irrespective of how much I’m able to score. I’ll not look into the questions that were posted that
were posted on Facebook in order to stay true to my own moral values.

No, I didn’t do anything wrong I suppose, since one’s gaze may inadvertently land on the questions
because of the curiosity. If I had logged on to Facebook, hoping to find the questions from the Quiz,
then yes, that would be considered wrong on my part.

I would not report my close friend to the teacher considering the magnitude of consequences (Since
the questions were distributed at random, only a set of few people could benefit would benefit from
this. However, for someone who knows the answer through their intellect, it wouldn’t make any
difference at all to them).

Considering the probability of effect that this will harm anyone at all is quite negligible since
everyone was on their own and had the same amount of time to prepare for the test. If they had
prepared well for the Quiz, they would find no difficulty in solving the questions.

Although, I will leave an anonymous note for the teacher to consider reevaluation through another
test since I would want my friend to retrospect about his actions.

Scenario 2:

No, I will not go ahead with the sale considering the position of my workers. While the offer is quite
attractive, it would affect the ties with the valuable customer base that was built over time, the
locals whose business might be thriving because of the economic opportunities being developed
around the plant and also the workers some of whom may have a hard time moving to Chennai.
Since the plant is located in a small town in Haryana, most of the workers would probably be locals
of the town. The owner of the plant who grew up in the same town will also perhaps be scorned in
the eyes of other town folks and might lose his reputation, since the ownership passed on to him
from his father. If the competitive company decides to consolidate operations with another plant in
Chennai, the plant in Haryana’s small town will slowly lose its importance and so will the town over
the years.

Scenario 3:

I would confront my district manager and ask him to reconsider his practices since they are highly
unethical and might harm the reputation of the company leading them down the dark abyss
sometime in the future. The basic premise being these practices are against the company policy.
While the intentions of the district manager might not seem evil, but instead a misdirected
representation of his dedication towards earning more customers for the company, they are still
wrong. If the district manager does not pay any heed to my concerns, I’ll have to report on him to
the upper seniors of the company who have the authority to take legal actions since these practices
may prove harmful in the long run. But customers wooed through ethical practices, will prove to be
beneficial for the company and their reputation.
