I like how the references used are credible news sources. Using a McGraw-Hill resource, one from the New York Times, and Bloomsberg ensure that the information that is used in the case study to back up opinions and exclaims is true. However, there were some things in the article that I did not necessarily agree with. I think the introduction is a little confusing and the first few sentences don't give readers much background information. I think there may have just been an issue with connecting the collected facts from the various sources. I also do not think Olympus was ethical in the eyes of a utilitarian. Because utilitarianism is the most good for the most people, I think Olympus failed to provide this by creating a false economic standing. Investors were essentially lied to, and they are the people that trusted the company with their investments. This untruthfulness hurts the company, stockholders, and its reputation with customers. I do agree that they created "feelings of happiness" for these stakeholder groups, but it is only imaginative and not backed by real figures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148685429538739475noreply@blogger.com
