Papa John’s pizza company has not faced many ethical issues in the past, but they have faced some. One ethical issue that Papa John’s has faced is an issue that mostly involves the CEO of Papa John’s, John Schnatter. However, he represents the character of the entire company as a whole. In 2012, Schnatter was in the news quite frequently saying that Obamacare health care reforms will cost his company about $5-8 million dollars annually (against total revenue of $1.2 billion), and he is therefore going to be “forced” to increase the price of his product somewhere around 10-14 cents per pie. The cost of providing health insurance for all of his pizza chain's uninsured, full-time employees comes out to about 14 cents on a large pizza. (abcnews.go.com) The choice is between hurting profits or forcing cutbacks. After Schnatter warned that Obama’s healthcare changes would raise the pizza prices and could cost workers their jobs, he later said that his remarks had no effect on company revenue, or the stock price, which dipped 9% in the week after his post-election comments but have since then recovered and hit an all-time high.

The academic definition of ethics is described as a stem of philosophy which raises moral questions and is demonstrated what is the main characteristic of morality and the way in which moral standards are decided (Gray & Webb, 2010).

Another limit to ethical behaviour at McDonald’s might be training and discipline within the company. For example, if an experienced employee was selected for a course or was offered a promotion, another employee might find it unfair and discriminative. Similar situation could possibly happen when it comes to discipline, for example a manager would treat employees making the same mistake differently and favour one person more than another. If any of the employees made an official complaint about any of those, it could lead to publicity’s hesitation and bad relations between employees within the company and its suppliers.

However, if Carol was to abide Dave’s new plan Carol team would have to ask each customer to upgrade their meals or add desert to there healthy meal. Although this may be true, if Carol decided not to abide by Dave’s plan, the sale of ice cream or upgrading their drink or fries will not sell with their healthy meals, which means the new menu has taken on more ethical importance over the old menu. Nevertheless, this may cause conflict of values that are important to the employee and the organization such as the loss of money.

All things considered, if the employee does not feel comfortable about selling the items to a customer who does not need the item this will result in loss of sales and the stakeholders not making money (Ghillyer,

Ethical behavior is behavior that a person considers to be appropriate. A person’s moral principals are shaped from birth, and developed overtime throughout the person’s life. There are many factors that can influence what a person believes whats is right, or what is wrong. Some factors are a person’s family, religious beliefs, culture, and experiences.

This includes ethical analyses of the production, distribution, marketing, sale, and consumption of goods and services” (Moriarty 1). In short, the idea of ethics can be described as morality, believing what is right and what is wrong morally.

The definition of morality or what constitutes proper morals is a difficult task and may be explained differently 100 times if one were to ask 100 people. Generally speaking, being moral is conforming to the standards of good or right. This vague definition is open for many interpretations.

Morality has played a role in international affairs and war for centuries.
