Exercise 19

How ethical are you Read each of the following descriptions. For each, circle whether you believe the behavior described is ethical or unethical.
A member of a corporation's board of directors learned that his company intended to announce a stock split and increase its dividend. On the basis of this favorable information, the director bought additional shares of the company's stock. Following the announcement of the information, he sold the stock at a gain.
Now score your results. How many actions did you judge to be unethical
All of these actions are unethical. The more of the actions you judged to be unethical, the better your understanding of ethical business behavior.
