We can see from the reading material that companies have a social responsibility when they are conducting business, and that they should act ethically in their business decisions. Please read and respond to the following case.There is an enormous forest in the state of Washington where logging operations take place. In the forest, there is a rare bird that exists only in that forest. If the logging operations continue in the forest, the rare bird will become extinct. However, if the logging operations were required to stop, millions of dollars in revenue would be lost, and hundreds of people would be out of a job. Moving the bird is too dangerous and can risk the extinction of the species, so the only two options are to continue operations and eliminate the bird or to cease operations and save the bird. What would you do if this was solely your decision? Why? How did you arrive at your decision?
