 .You are the division manager of a company with four departments. Your company evaluates department managers on the basis of return on investment (ROI), with investment measured by net book value (that is, original cost minus depreciation). You have a favorite person you want to put in a place where she can achieve a high ROI. You know if she is the manager of the older division, where the net book value is low, she will achieve a high ROI.

Ethics and ROI

For this discussion, consider the following scenario:

You are the division manager of a company with four departments. Your company evaluates department managers on the basis of return on investment (ROI), with investment measured by net book value (that is, original cost minus depreciation). You have a favorite person you want to put in a place where she can achieve a high ROI. You know if she is the manager of the older division, where the net book value is low, she will achieve a high ROI.

Post a discussion of 2–4 paragraphs about the ethics of this scenario. Consider for your post:

· The ethics of what you are about to do.

· The ethics of not bringing the measure of ROI with the investment defined as net book value to the attention of management.

Refer to the following article for a good overview of ethical considerations that will help inform your post:

· Robin, D. (2009). 

Toward an applied meaning for ethics in business.
