Question:
Mary is a business owner and officer in her local Chamber of Commerce. She enjoys the training, networking opportunities, conferences, and outside speakers. Mary also likes having the business resources and professional development activities offered by the Chamber. Because she is interested in moving up in the organization, she has volunteered to meet with other businesses in the community and recruit their owners for Chamber membership. Mary's goal is to impress her fellow Chamber members and provide the Chamber with data, which can then be used to recruit even more members in the next five years. Therefore, Mary must use a process for determining who she will recruit and what information will be beneficial to the Chamber. Q 4. Again, staying with Mary and her recruiting efforts, she needs to be aware of the ethical issues she might face. To get you started, Mary needs to avoid a number of pitfalls, based on her methodology for communicating with business owners, collecting information (data) from them, and when she presents her findings to her fellow Chamber officers. How can she avoid an ethical dilemma, work without bias, or collect worthless and confusing information? What might cause her to feel pressure in presenting her findings to her fellow Chamber officers, which may add to ethical issues?
