BUSINESS PRACTICES

Ginny Erickson was faced with a challenge of unethical practices in a radio firm where she was working as an intern. The firm had practiced unethical practices that pushed the sales agent as Ginny to the edge (Dessler, 2013). This was in consideration to the motto of doing the best to the company and not the client. This was conflicting to Ginny as it was not what she learned in class. It is true to say that Ginny was in a dilemma. It would be appropriate to advise her despite how badly she needed the experience as a sales agent and having a good reference practicing such was not worth it. There is always a way out in every situation. I would tell her to put in consideration whether she was gaining or losing more. The moral values she was losing as she pushed clients to the edge just to make it up for the company.

I would like her to analyze the consequences of practicing the unethical practices and if really the experiences gained while practicing unethically were going to help her in her career and the bad reputation she was likely to get if it came to light. Blowing the whistle and bringing the matter to attention is also something she can do to enhance sanity in the firm's practices (Quakers, 2014).

The influence of unethical practices was also a concern to all other classmates. Looking for an alternative out is a form of a solution. One can seek a company that performs its practices ethically rather than engaging in such practices. It is also agreeable to say that with such unethical practices to gain experience a lot is placed in jeopardy and it will not assist in the proper performance of anyone’s career as well as balancing visions with practices (Quakers, 2014).
