Business Ethics Case Study Fingerhut

Decent Essays
Sena,

Thank you very much for your valuable comment. I appreciate your comment. I want to say about this case, infact, Fingerhut is doing unethical practice only for their profit, they don't care about business ethics. So, we should not promote that type of business and practices in real life. We should realize what is consumer right and what is our business ethics concerning advertising and marketing issues.

Thank you again,

Khem

This is a clear case of workplace discrimination, and it will more than likely deter any woman who may have wanted to apply to work there. Due to the fact that if they have to get surgery done on a part of their body that will be clearly visible, and seen when they wear the Hooter’s waitress uniform. They could very well find themselves in a similar situation as the former Hooters waitress.…
