What is the "Bad Apples, Bad Cases, and Bad Barrels" way of looking at ethics in organizations? Describe each category
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: One review of over 30 years of ethics research concluded that three factors combine to determine the ethical choices we make. The authors titled their paper "Bad Apples, Bad Cases, and Bad Barrels." This title highlighted their conclusion that when "Bad apples" (people who are inclined to make unethical choices), must deal with "Bad cases" (ethical situations that are ripe for unethical choices), while working in "Bad barrels" (company environments that foster or condone unethical choices) then people tend to act unethically.
