Stark Security Company, a division of Stark Enterprises offers a range of top-notch security services for athletes and entertainers. Each type of service is considered a separate department. Bruce Banner, who is the general manager at Stark Company, is compensated partly based on departmental performance by staying within the quarterly cost budgets. Banner proudly proclaims to you, I will not go over budget even if it means compromising the level and quality of service. He explains that these are usually minor compromises that do not significantly affect Starks clients, at least not in the short run. However, he does not share what these minor compromises might be. As you walk back to your office, you reflect on the conversation with your colleague. As you do you begin to sense a possible ethical dilemma(s) associated with Bruces compromises. You decide to write a memo to Bruce.

Consider and address the following questions as you compose your memo.

1. What is the ethical concern(s) in this situation? What parties are affected? Explain. 2. Can Banner revise his strategy to eliminate or reduce any of the ethical concerns? Elaborate. What suggestions do you have? 3. What is Stark Securitys ethical responsibility in offering professional services. Can this be linked to customer expectations?
