Alan Homes serves on the board of directors of Fauci Company. The president of Fauci told him that in 3 weeks the corporation would announce a 25% increase in dividends. Alan called his neighbor to tell him to buy some stock. The neighbor told his friend about the stock, and the friend told him that Alan was acting unethically. The neighbor called Alan back, and Alan told him that no one will know the difference, that in business this happens all the time, and that he shouldn’t be left out. Do you think Alan’s behavior is appropriate? You make the call. Write down your recommendation to Alan’s neighbor.
