1. Although Johnson & Johnson took a massive short-term loss as a result of its actions to recalled 33,000 bottles of the baby powder, it was cushioned by the relative wealth of the company. If the survival of the company is at stake in your opinion, provide reason(s) as whether the company should have acted the same way. (25 marks) Meaning: By recalling its baby powder, J&J will suffer from short-term loss. However, it will not create much damage because J&J is a wealthy company. Let's say, if J&J is not so wealthy and is facing problem with survival (the company is at risk), do you think J&J will still recall the 33,000 bottles of baby powder? Guidance: Firstly, discuss about what is a recall and is a recall necessary? If you think it is necessary, Why? (Bring in any Business Ethics theories you have learned from Chapter 1-12 which will support your statement.) If you think it is NOT necessary for the recall, why? (same as above, support your argument with any relevant Business Ethics theories) Secondly, discuss: If J&J recall the baby powder, what will happen? If J&J did not recall the powder, what will happen? Lastly, in your opinion, should J&J recall or not recall
