Provide some examples of ethically questionable business decisions that have recently been in the news.

One ethical issue a business may run into is whether or not to implement a business process or decision that is ethically questionable. For example, Marriott was recently fined by the FCC for blocking Internet access from attendees at a conference in order to force them to purchase Internet access from the hotel, Uber has been accused of having employees schedule and then cancel rides via competing firms to decrease the competitor's availability, and Google is under investigation in the European Union for distorting search results to drive shoppers to the Google shopping service. Other ethically questionable business decisions relate to customer privacy. For example, several plastic surgeons have been sued recently for posting pre-op and post-op photos of patients on their Web sites; in one current case, the photos were posted even though the patient signed a statement that she did not give consent to use her photos for promotional purposes.
