MST is a large steel-making business. Sales and profits have fallen recently. The directors are under pressure from the owners to make the business much more profitable. One director has paid a bribe to a goverment official to make sure MST gains a govermnent contract. MST has closed two steel works this year and opened a huge new works in a low income country. pollution controls are very weak in this country. wages are low ans some children are employed in the steel production process-but in no-dangerous jobs. 'profits must be increased as a priortiy, 'said marie, the cheif executive of MST, 'ethical decisions can come later'.

do you agree with marie when she said 'profits must be increased as a priority, ethical decisions can come later'? justify your answer. [6]
