Question

Eric, the owner of a struggling business that supplies fresh product to restaurants, is faced with a decision that will mean either the collapse of his business or perhaps the success of his business: Should he fill customer orders for produce with some older produce mixed in with the fresh produce? This will save him enough money to keep going. Eric is faced with an ethical dilemma.

Answer 1

Yes this is no doubt an ethical dilemma for him. But he should go for what is ethically correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In my opinion, he should not go for this decision. Unethical practices result in temporary success but they don't guarantee permanent achievements. He should focus on completing the orders on time with the fresh products(as it is his business goal to provide fresh products), he would make his good will in the market by providing as per his commitment and then gradually will be able to mark his business. This ethical decision in such tough time will make him stronger and will grow his business in future when people will like his products and commitment of providing fresh products.
