Analyse the following caselet and answer the questions that follow:
Recently a private food testing agency reported the presence of a harmful chemical in Crunchy Chips, a product of a fast moving consumer goods giant. The report sparked a nationwide Outcry.
Mukesh Routray, a shopkeeper in a remote village was surprised to read in the newspaper, his only source of information, about harmful chemicals in Crunchy Chips. He had stocked a large quantity of Crunchy Chips for the forthcoming festive season. He also realized that people in his village are completely unaware of this controversy. He had the following options:
1. Sell the entire stock at a discount before the news spreads.
2. Destroy the entire stock and advise customers not to buy this product from other shops as well.
3. Donate the entire stock of Crunchy Chips to a local orphanage.
4. Inform customers about the controversy but understate its seriousness.
5. Ignore the news and sell the stock at the forthcoming festive season as planned.
6. Explore the veracity of the report and then take decision
If arranged from ethical to unethical which of the following is DEFINITELY the WRONG order?
Mukesh has just read the news in the newspaper and he is not sure about its truthfulness. So, the most appropriate step for him would be to explore the reality behind the news. Therefore, 6 is an ethical option. Option 2 is ethical too. 1,3,5 are unethical options. Option 4 can be considered as unethical too but to a lesser degree than 1,3,5.
So 6,1,4 is definitely the wrong order because 1 is more unethical option than 4. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
