Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Explanation: The first ethical yardstick is utilitarianism, which proposes making decisions solely on the basis of their outcomes, ideally to provide the greatest good for the greatest number. This view dominates business decision making. It is consistent with goals such as efficiency, productivity, and high profits.

Answer to Question 2

Students' answers may vary. The following is a sample response. Sally's active responses could be to voice her dissatisfaction to her supervisor, lobbying for her promotion or seeking reasons why she was not promoted. Her other active option would be to exit the company, beginning immediately to look for another job. If the immediate supervisor is aware of Sally's dissatisfaction and values her as an employee, she needs to proactively discuss why Sally was passed over for the promotion. She could design a training program or a longer term plan of how Sally can reach her income and responsibility goals with small measurable steps that would receive rewards, such as lunch gift cards or time off, in place of the income that Sally feels she is denied.
