Question

Speedster is an automobile manufacturing company that has a factory in Seattle, Washington. It has placed Keith McShane, the operations head of the factory, in charge of investigating the firm's decision whether to move the factory to Qingdao, China. Keith is against the idea of the factory relocating to Qingdao because his fellow Americans will lose their jobs to the Chinese. Therefore, he is desperately searching for information that favors Seattle over Qingdao. Which of the following prescribed guidelines for ethical decision making will Keith need to focus on to make an unbiased, ethical decision?

a.will the shareholders offer support?
b.what facts impact my decision?
c.how can i increase the number of shareholders?
d.which decision will allow me to retain my job?

Answer 1

The answer is: B) What facts impact my decision?

Step-by-step explanation:

If Keith could choose freely, I'm sure he would decide to keep the factory open in Seattle, but he has to pay attention to the hard facts to make the correct decision. He has to try to get rid off all the bias and personal ties, so that his decision will only be based on actual facts and therefore should be the best alternative for the company.
