This scenario
Describes how Christopher Knox, a salesperson for Specialty Fleet Service, landed a lucrative contract with a tough customer. The scenario raises questions about the ethicality of the tactics used by Knox, which can be analyzed in terms of utilitarian, formalist, and intuitive
ethics. In your paper, please address these questions:
1. Who are the stakeholders involved in the case, and what do they value? How do the actions taken by Knox harm or benefit each of the relevant stakeholders? From a utilitarian standpoint, to what extent do you judge the approach taken by Knox ethical or unethical?
2. Identify the universal moral principles that pertain to the approach taken by Knox. To what degree are these principles fulfilled or violated by what Knox has done? From a formalist/deontological perspective, to what extent do you consider the actions taken by Knox ethical or unethical?
3. What do the thinking and behavior of Knox say about his character and values? How would you rank order the values that Knox seems to hold? From an intuitive ethics standpoint, which one of the five foundation principles we discussed in class is most relevant in this situation? Why? To what extent does Knox display character and values that would be deemed ethical and moral?
