An ethical issue to research that is common for today's business leaders: Sexual Harassment

As women entered the workplace in increasing numbers in the middle of the 20th century, gender dynamics in the workplace shifted from a peripheral concern in the business community to a central issue. Sexual harassment, and the power imbalance that permits it, is a core ethical issue. One crucial question involved whether a superior and subordinate could ever engage in a truly consensual sexual relationship. While the answer remains unclear, the ambiguity itself suggests that sexual relationships of any kind in the workplace set a business and its owner up for sexual harassment charges.
