Richards adopts a teleological-parochialism position 1 to justify that his actions are ethical, 2 even though they are illegal (Baugher & Weisbord, 2009). 3 Richards argues that his actions are ethical as they resulted in desirable consequences, in the form of better sales/performance figures, which met analyst forecasts and positively affected shareholder value (Radtke, 2004; Fernando, Dharmage, & Almeida, 2008). 4 He acted in the interests of his ‘in-group’ (other executives/managers), maximising their performance-based compensation, 5 at the expense of others (Barnett, Bass, & Brown, 1994). 6 Richards also claims that his actions were not serious, as recognising revenues

Before diving directly into the article from the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) titled Governments to Report Liabilities Connected with Their Obligations to Clean Up Pollution (2006), one must first take a step back and take time to read, comprehend, and take to heart exactly what this organization stands for.

What if we ask employees to go to their supervisor with questions and if the supervisor can’t answer, the supervisor will go to Kristen or myself?

An agreement can only occur when the parties involved are ready to compromise. The company was not ready to compromise, thus making it right to conclude that it was not in good faith.

Aetna and Apple have formed a small partnership together to subsidize Apple watches to Aetna customers. Aetna has a plan for certain individuals who meet their requirement that have the option from an employer to purchase an Apple watch for a fraction of the cost that a new watch would be. The reason for this type of promotion is that Aetna is trying to motivate more people to live a more active and healthy lifestyle. Aetna is also offering their customers who are eligible for the Apple watch a monthly payment plan for the remaining cost of the watch. “Aetna is working with Apple on several iOS-exclusive health initiatives, starting with integrated health apps for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch that will help users to better “manage
