Bernard is the owner and manager of a small auto$-$parts store. He thinks that talking about business ethics with employees takes time that would be better spent paying attention to customers. He also does not believe that he has a right to tell other people how they should behave. Is Bernard likely to create an ethical workplace with this way of thinking? Why or why not?

a$.$ Bernard is unlikely to create an ethical workplace, because the attitude of top management influences employee ethics.

b$.$ Bernard's attitude will have no particular effect on workplace ethics, because ethics is strictly a private matter best left to individual employees.

c$.$ Bernard's attitude will have no particular effect on workplace ethics, because management has no ability to affect employee behavior.

d$.$ Bernard is unlikely to create an ethical workplace and so is likely to get into legal trouble, because business laws require him to compel his employees to follow an ethical code.
