The unique role of salespeople as “revenue generators” for any organization is pivotal for its growth and success. An interfacing role of salesperson between organization and customers facilitates customer belief and builds long-term relationships. Due to affiliative separation, salespersons face ethical dilemmas more often than their counterparts. The chapter delineates the unique characteristics of sales behavior and major influencers that affect a salesperson's ethical/unethical decision making. The authors recommend designing of effective ethical plan and its implementation to inculcate a robust ethical environment/culture within an organization.

Sports, apart from providing entertainment, can provide an escape from everyday troubles, a community to belong to, and an opportunity to connect to the wider world. As such, sports have contributed to the unification of people, the development of peace and tolerance, and the empowerment of women and young people globally. However, sports’ widespread popularity has also contributed to “big money” opportunities for sports organizations, sporting venues, athletes, and sponsors that have created an environment riddled with ethical dilemmas that make headlines, resulting in protests and violence, and often leave society more divided. A current ethical dilemma faced by agents associated with the Olympic games serves to demonstrate the magnitude and challenges related to resolving ethical dilemmas in the sport industry. A decision-making framework is applied to this current sport’s ethical dilemma, as an example of how better ethical decision making might be achieved.

Study level/applicability BBA. Case overview Mr Qazi was sitting in his office in the Multan branch, reviewing his past month’s key performance indicators when he got a call from his Town Operations Supervisor, Mr Ahmed, based in Bahawalpur. Ahmed was recently promoted and transferred to Bahawalpur, from Multan branch. He informed Qazi about the huge inventory variances, which were not earlier reported by the previous Town Operations Supervisor, Mr Sagheer. Qazi was informed that differences were around 2.37% of total sales vs the allowable company limit of Zero inventory variance. Qazi was worried about whether to report these differences to higher management or not. He was very well aware that reporting might even cost him his job, and that of Sagheer too. He could not see any solution to the recovery of the inventory or cash against the same. Should Qazi take a risk and let go of Sagheer? Should he report the differences? Expected learning outcome 1. Demonstrate the fraud and integrity-related issues. Why and how happened? 2. Analyzed the role of organizational policies in the decision of blow the whistle. 3. Identify the behaviors that helped a whistle-blower. 4. Assess the ethical dilemmas in which professional duties may conflict with personal ethics. 5. Propose organizational policies to encourage whistle-blowing and to discourage the fraud or integrity-related issues. Supplementary materials Teaching Notes are available for educators only.

Abstract The constant conflict between decisions leading to immediate pleasurable consequences versus behaviors aiming at long-term social advantages is reviewed here in the framework of the evolutionary systems regulating behavior. The inescapable temporal perspective in decision-making in everyday life is highlighted and integrated with the role of the executive functions in the modulation of subcortical systems. In particular, the representations of the 'non-existent' future in the prefrontal cortical regions and how these representations can bridge theory and practice in everyday life are addressed. Relevant discussions regarding the battle between emotions and reasons in the determination of more complex decisions in the realm of neuroeconomics and in moral issues have been reserved for a second essay.

Renal Vascular

The kidney plays a central role in long-term regulation of arterial blood pressure and salt and water homeostasis. This is achieved in part by the local actions of paracrine and autacoid mediators such as the arachidonic acid-prostanoid system. The present study tested the role of specific PGE2 E-prostanoid (EP) receptors in the regulation of renal hemodynamics and vascular reactivity to PGE2. Specifically, we determined the extent to which the EP2 and EP3 receptor subtypes mediate the actions of PGE2 on renal vascular tone. Renal blood flow (RBF) was measured by ultrasonic flowmetry, whereas vasoactive agents were injected directly into the renal artery of male mice. Studies were performed on two independent mouse lines lacking either EP2or EP3 (−/−) receptors and the results were compared with wild-type controls (+/+). Our results do not support a unique role of the EP2 receptor in regulating overall renal hemodynamics. Baseline renal hemodynamics in EP2−/− mice [RBF EP2−/−: 5.3 ± 0.8 ml · min−1 · 100 g kidney wt−1; renal vascular resistance (RVR) 19.7 ± 3.6 mmHg · ml−1 · min · g kidney wt] did not differ statistically from control mice (RBF +/+: 4.0 ± 0.5 ml · min−1 · 100 g kidney wt−1; RVR +/+: 25.4 ± 4.9 mmHg · ml−1 · min · 100 g kidney wt−1). This was also the case for the peak RBF increase after local PGE2 (500 ng) injection into the renal artery (EP2−/−: 116 ± 4 vs. +/+: 112 ± 2% baseline RBF). In contrast, we found that the absence of EP3receptors in EP3−/− mice caused a significant increase (43%) in basal RBF (7.9 ± 0.8 ml · min−1 · g kidney wt−1, P < 0.05 vs. +/+) and a significant decrease (41%) in resting RVR (11.6 ± 1.4 mmHg · ml−1 · min · g kidney wt−1, P < 0.05 vs. +/+). Local administration of 500 ng of PGE2 into the renal artery caused more pronounced renal vasodilation in EP3−/− mice (128 ± 2% of basal RBF, P < 0.05 vs. +/+). We conclude that EP3 receptors mediate vasoconstriction in the kidney of male mice and its actions are tonically active in the basal state. Furthermore, EP3receptors are capable of buffering PGE2-mediated renal vasodilation.

PurposeNaming rights sponsorships of sport facilities are among the most highly visible marketing agreements in the world. However, factors that may lead one sponsorship to persist for decades, while others end after just a few years, have yet to be investigated. Thus, this study examines the decision-making of brand marketers by investigating the predictors of a sponsoring brand's decision to either continue or dissolve such agreements.Design/methodology/approachUtilizing a global data set of 219 naming rights agreements, an empirical approach is utilized to isolate whether a variety of factors increase or decrease the probability of sponsorship dissolution.FindingsResults indicate that agreements entered into with new, as of yet-unnamed facilities lead to a reduction in the probability of dissolution, with a high level of brand equity also reducing the probability of dissolution. Agency conflicts may also play a role, as the sponsoring firm being headquartered in the same metropolitan area as the facility also contributes to the persistence of such agreements.Originality/valueThese results are intended to assist both sides of what is ideally a long-term relationship in better understanding the factors that may either contribute to or inhibit longer-term partnerships.

Psychiatric Profession

Sexual relationships between psychiatrists and their patients raise a number of important ethical issues. The power inequality, transference and dependence which often occur in a therapeutic relationship render patients vulnerable to exploitation. Psychiatrists informed by a patient of sexual contact with a previous psychiatrist face a complex ethical dilemma. Attempts at regulation by professional organisations, or by the legal system, may create conflicts between the rights of the persons involved. The role of the psychiatric profession in confronting the problem of sexual exploitation of patients is discussed.

Abstract: Internal factors play an important role in decision making, especially under ethical dilemma conditions. Therefore, we examine the internal factors of individuals such as gender, age, and level of education in making decisions under ethical dilemma circumstances. This study uses a survey by Aluchna and Mikolajczyk and Eweje and Brunon to collect data. 86 undergraduate and 19 postgraduate students are the respondents for this study. Nonparametric chi-square tests are conducted to test the hypotheses. As a result, women are more ethical than men. Age does not affect the attitude when faced with ethical dilemmas. Moreover, there is no difference in perception between age and level of education toward ethical dilemmas. This study contributes for practical field. Human resource can consider which person to recruit to fit a job, and early ethical education should be done in order for the individual to reach the highest ethical stage.

In this article, we consider an approach for ethical decision-making for refusals in the out-of-hospital environment. Autonomy and beneficence are discussed as the two ethical principles central to guiding paramedic decision-making in this context. We describe some situations where the two principles may come into conflict and where the working paramedic may be faced with an ethical dilemma. These cases may involve temptations of medical paternalism, which we argue ought to be avoided if possible. A discussion on navigating between autonomy and beneficence will be presented in order to help paramedics sort through dilemmas when these principles conflict. We argue that when these principles are in conflict, autonomy should primarily be respected – however, we will examine situations where the principle of autonomy cannot be applied and the paramedic should either attempt to rectify the patient’s capacity for autonomous decision-making, or, if not possible, proceed with the principle of beneficence.

I was delighted to read Dr. Frederic Burke excellent analysis of the important and unique role of the specialized children hospital designed to meet the complex needs of long-term childhood illness (PEDIATRICS, 43:879, 1969). We operate a similar intermediate-care children hospital facility at Stanford, having a parallel historical origin which has now evolved into a comprehensive program providing inpatient and outpatient care, teaching and training, and research in the chronic diseases of childhood and youth.
