(1)CASE STUDY:

Mr.Anurag had interviewed numerous candidates for the

job opening in his department. He'd finally settled on

Rajesh. He had good credentials and was available to start

working right away, and he urgently needed to fill theposition. So Mr.Anurag offered Rajesh the job, and he

accepted.

A couple of days before Rajesh was set to start work, a

colleague told Mr.Anurag about his friend, Pardeep, whowas looking for a job and had excellent qualifications for

the one Mr.Anurag was looking to fill. Mr.Anurag

explained that he'd already hired someone but agreed to

talk to Pardeep anyway as a favor to his colleague.


15/18

Cont..

After they talked, Mr.Anurag was so impressed with

Pardeep that he wished he had come along before he hired

Rajesh. He was sure Pardeep would do a better job, require

less training, and be a greater asset to his department and

the organization. The only problem was that he was

already committed to hiring Pardeep.

Would it be ethical for Mr.Anurag to rescind the job offer

to Rajesh and hire Pardeep instead?

(2)CASE STUDY:

A three-nation study conducted by a professor from a

management college affiliated to the university concludes

that Indians are less ethical in nature due to their emotional

behavior and managers in the West are more ethical owing

to their rational thinking.

The question asked was, A friend was driving at 35 miles

per hour instead of 20 miles per hour. He hit a pedestrian

during the drive. The young MBA students were asked ifthey would lie and claim that the friend was actually

driving at 20 miles per hour and save him with lesser

punishment.


17/18

Conclusion

It concludes that Indians are less ethical in nature

due to their emotional behavior and managers in

the West are more ethical owing to their rationalthinking.

This is due to the collective thinking of Indians,

who are more dependent on heart.
