[Year 12 IPM] Ethical issues.

[Mark Kelly]

Yeah.  The ethical ones are hard to come by.  How about...

You are interviewing potential database managers for your business.  One 
candidate says she was recently sacked by your most fierce business 
rival.  If you hire her - with a LARGE pay rise - she would give you 
details of the rival's customer base, their operations, their financial 
status, information on tenders they are preparing.

In short, you could nearly undercut, outbid and poach customers from 
your rival.  You could potentially destroy your rival by using this 
information.

Do you hire the candidate?
