Ethical and Legal Practices

Jamie is here to describe a situation to you. Watch the ethics case study video. You can also read a text version of Jamies message. Discuss whether Esteban is performing in a professional manner. If you were a manager, what would you do differently to make sure your employees were not using the company's assets for their own benefit?

Research and analyze the ethical and legal issues involving the use of a company's assets by employees. Employees should know that the use of a company's assets is unethical, but many employees do it anyway. Why?

Does Esteban's position with the company and his use of the company phone and assets expose the company to potential liability? Why or why not?
