4) Increasing economic interdependence prevents executives and managers at a
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
firm from manipulating corporate actions for their own benefit.
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Answer: FALSE m m m m
Explanation: A serious ethical problem arises from economic interdependence and
m m mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
the modern corporation, which is the structure of most large businesses in this
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
country. The problem is that the corporate leaders are not the real owners of
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
corporations. The stockholders are, and although corporate executives and managers
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
may own some stock, they seldom own significant percentages of very large
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
companies. The ethical problem that can arise is that the executives and managers
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
who control what the stockholders own are sometimes able to manipulate corporate
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
actions for their own benefit, actions that have unacceptable risks to the owners and
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
others.

6) According to Adam Smith, leading a good life means being solely concerned
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
about the fortunes of oneself.
mm mm mm mm mm
Answer: FALSE m m m m
Explanation: The end result of ethical examination is what philosophers call the
m m mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
good. The concept of the good is central to the study of morality. The good may
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
be defined as those moral goals and objectives one chooses to pursue. Thus, leading
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
a good life means more than having the good life. It means more than material
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
possessions and luxury. It means pursuing intangibles, being concerned, as Adam
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Smith put it, about the fortunes of others.

7) Adam Smith, the author of The Wealth of Nations, denied the existence of any
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
moral element in human nature that goes beyond self-interest.
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Answer: FALSE m m m m
Explanation: Adam Smith wrote, "However selfish man believes himself to be,
m m mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
there is no doubt that there are some elements in his nature which lead him to
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
concern himself about the fortune of others, in such a way that their happiness is
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
necessary for him, although he obtains nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
it." With this statement, the author of The Wealth of Nations, perhaps the most
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
famous book on economic theory ever written, recognized a moral element in human
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
nature that goes beyond self-interest.

Explanation: Ultimately, the commitment to ethical values is superior to mere

observance of the law in ensuring responsible business behavior. Legal rules can
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
