Are they beneficial to the corporation? Can they help raise and bring in profits? Or does it have the potential to cause risk to the corporation?

Carly Fiorina said, “Good ethics and good judgement are what must drive business behavior… Employees and customer always know what’s wrong.” (Taking Sides. page 58) Using this approach can give insight to your business on potential risk that can arise.
