A. ACTIONS OF CHRIS KNOX
Chris Knox shows an unethical sales practice and deceptive towards Mr. and Mrs. Landry and customers. In sales, it is important to build the strong relationship with the customers but Chris Knox treated Landry just to get the sales rather than to build the relationship. Knox should not interfere in the personal lives and pretended that he had an interest in the prized bull. This behavior is not acceptable in any organization because customers are the main assets of the organization. Therefore, ethical behavior and building customer relationship is very important to satisfy the customers.
Knox needed to develop an ethical behavior and reprimanded his actions with the company; this will lead the company to increase its revenue. The company should develop a strategy to introduce ethical sales practices, and any deceptive of the customer is considered as unethical. Moreover, Knox should fire Jeremy from special fleet services because he sends the memo that completely destroys the company. Lastly, the company should develop the mission and vision based on the ethical practices.
Good ethical policies describe the appropriate and inappropriate behaviors of the employees in the company. Moreover, the company should initiate a training and development session for the employees regarding ethical policies and procedures.
