However, some individuals can try to take advantage of serious business situations by spending the organization’s money to satiating personal needs. They can also falsely create a positive image in the minds of investors/customers. When individuals compromise with ethics, they can consider not being caught by the government/ law. It can be tempting for some individuals to be unethical in serious business situations but such situations can be a wake-up call for other ethical individuals.
