Problem:
You currently work for MSDS, a strategic management firm located in New York City. Some of the organizations biggest clients have included Donald Trump and Oprah Winfrey. All employees have been called to an emergency meeting by the Vice President. You all have just been informed that the president of the company does not like social networking via internet sources. He has advised all employees that if they have an account on Face book or My Space, they will have to remove it within the next 72 hours. Your president does not like the image of social networking and thinks it may hinder his possibilities of being able to go global with future endeavors. How would you respond? Is this ethical or not? How is this situation relevant to business ethics and ethical theory?
