1.Characterize the values illustrated by management at Union Carbide in the way it handled the Bhopal disaster.

  

2. Identify the ethical issues that arise from the facts of the case. How do you assess stakeholder responsibilities?

   

3.Compare the decision-making process used by Union Carbide to deal with its disaster with that of Ford Motor Co. in the Pinto case and Johnson & Johnson in the Tylenol incident as described in this chapter. Evaluate management decision-making in these cases from an ethical reasoning perspective.

  

4.The document uncovered by the Environmental Working Group Report refers to the acceptable “business risk” in the Bhopal operation due to questions about the technology. Is it ethical for a company to use business risk as a measure of whether to go ahead with an operation that may have safety problems? How would you characterize such a thought process from the perspective of ethical reasoning?
