The perception of a firm's ethical standards is dependent on its team of managers. The ethical responsibilities of a firm's managers vary with their specific job responsibilities. For example, marketing managers are responsible for marketing a product in a manner that neither misrepresents the product's characteristics nor misleads consumers. Marketing managers must communicate with production managers to ensure that product marketing is consistent with the production. Any promotion strategies that make statement about product performance should be assessed by production managers to ensure accuracy. A firm earns a reputation for being ethical by ensuring that ethical standards are maintained in all business functions. If some members of their teams are unethical, the entire firm will be viewed as unethical. Based on the statement, how can a business fulfill their social responsibility to their customers and still earn a profit? Explain the actions a firm can take to ensure that it fulfills its social responsibility to its customers? How can the management tying their employee compensation to a firm's performance resolve some conflicts of interest?
