A. How does this case fit within the broader context of business ethics? Be sure to reference major cases where tensions between profit and ethics led to illegal or unethical corporate behavior. In other words, what pivotal events created the current climate of public distrust, and how is the case in question impacted by that climate?
B. What major industry and statutory frameworks apply to the company in the case study? Be sure to discuss the role of domestic and international oversight bodies in ensuring compliance with those frameworks and give specific examples to support your answer.
