Here is an email chain to read for context:
Research Associate: Ive caught wind of a major technical innovation from one of our biggest
rivals. I cannot tell you more at this time, but I will copy everyone on any information I can
share as I receive it.
Chief Engineer: Im pretty skeptical. What is this about? Where are you getting your information?
Research Associate: Turns out that this is much worse than I thought. If our competitor succeeds,
they may be able to improve the performance of their sensors by 20 percent, reduce size by 15
percent, and reduce material cost by 10 percent. This could put us out of business!
Chief Engineer: I havent heard from you in a week. You are not in trouble, but I need more
information. Where did you learn of this impending innovation?
Research Associate: The dangers passed, theyve given up the project. You have no idea how
close they came. I learned about this because one of their engineers is part of my LinkedIn circle.
Chief Engineer: Why would he tell you as much as he did, knowing that you work for a
competitor?
Research Associate: He never asked. You know, I just started working for the company so I
havent gotten around yet to updating my credentials on LinkedIn.
Chief Engineer: I do not use LinkedIn much, however, I do know that their terms of use prohibit
misrepresentation or using an unfounded alter ego.
I guess what Im curious about isnt so much the fact that your profile may not be up-to-date.
Rather, why is our competitors innovation dead in the water?
Research Associate: The engineer thought I was still in my research position at the university. He
contacted me and asked me for advice. I gave him one of our material analyses, but I changed a
few numbers. He bought it hook, line, and sinker!
You are the chief engineer. Two months ago, one of your new research associates announced to
his R&D group that he had discovered a crucial piece of competitive information.
The option that we chose to go with is to have the research associate change his LinkedIn profile
immediately because he is misrepresenting himself. Still consider using the innovation. The
question is: What ethical philosophies impact the situation? (Egoism, Utilitarianism, Justice,
Virtue Ethics, Deontology, Relativism?) in regard to the bolded information and the email chain
listed above.
