Case Study:
George Stein, a college student working for Eastern Dairy, is suddenly faced with an ethical dilemma. George has very little time to think about his choices – less than a minute. On the one hand, he can do what Paul tells him to do, and his shift can go home on time. However, he finds it tough to shake the gross mental image of all those innocent kids drinking milkshakes contaminated with pulverized maggots. If he chooses instead to go against Paul, what would the guys say? He can almost hear their derisive comments already….
In this case, George Stein is faced with an ethical dilemma.
Q1. First, describe the ethical dilemma presented in this case.
Then list all of the reasons why you believe George might act unethically and remove the filters, allowing the maggots to remain in the mix.
Then list all of the reasons why you think that George might behave ethically, refuse to remove the filters, and report the maggot problem to management.
Q2. Who does the ethical dilemma impact?
Q3. If this were you, what are some alternatives that you have?
Q4. What action would you choose?
Q5. What could the company do to keep this from occurring in the future?
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format and also include references.
