Accepting the manager's friend's proposal could give the impression
that vendor selections aren't made fairly. This damages the company's
reputation and causes employees and vendors to lose faith in the business.
A2.
If the friend's bid is reasonable, the company can miss out on a
potentially profitable vendor partnership if it is rejected. Choosing a vendor
that costs more or doesn’t have much experience could end up hurting the
company. It might lead to spending more money than necessary or receiving
products and services that don’t meet the company’s needs. Over time, this
can affect efficiency and put extra pressure on the company’s resources.

Utilitarian ethics focuses on picking the option that brings the most
overall benefit to the most people. Instead of looking at someone’s
intentions, it judges a choice based on the results it produces. One key
feature is that it measures the overall balance of harm and benefit to
determine which option leads to the most positive results. Another feature is
that it treats everyone’s interests equally, meaning no single person’s
benefit outweighs the well-being of the larger group (DesJardins, 2020).
