Question

Davis is the manager of a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in a developing country. The manufacturing unit does not meet the acceptable standards of the manufacturing facility in the home nation. He knows that demanding a better manufacturing unit will raise the cost of the drugs mainly exported to other less developed countries, and hence its price. But he also realizes that by not demanding a better unit, the employees are prone to serious health issues. Davis is facing:

a positivity offset.
the tragedy of the commons.
a role conflict.
an ethical dilemma

Answer 1

an ethical dilemma

Step-by-step explanation:

An ethical dilemma is described as a difficult situation that demands a decision and it has to be made between two different options: there is always an ethical dilemma because one of the options includes transgressing a moral principle. In this case, if Davis does not improve the manufacturing facility conditions, the health and safety of the workers can be affected; but he does not want to rise the prices for the final produced pharmaceutical products that is the second option. He is in an ethical dilemma.
