Week 4 Discussion Business Ethics
Discussion 1: “Speaking Out About Malt”
Mary acted disloyal and irresponsibly in my own opinion about writing that article, and letting it to be published to the newspaper without her knowledge. She should have done a follow up on the article not to be edited before being published. She should have also consulted the CEO of the Whitewater Brewing Company, before she started to write about her project and article on study of wine and beer marketing. This could have helped to prevent all the troubles that she faced after publications on the newspaper, and in public at large.
