Week 10 Discussion
Chapter 30: Ethics in the business settings (Page 515).
Foster opened a fast-food in a one-story shopping plaza owned by Green. He signed a simple lease prepared by Green and moved in after spending a large sum of money on construction. One month after Foster opened for business. Green rented a store to a competitor of Foster, 60 feet from Foster’s restaurant.
Answer the questions below and discuss this case in an essay format.
1- Assuming what Green was legal, was it ethical?
2- Why should not a landlord be able to rent space to whomever the landlord wishes?
3- If Green did not recommend to Foster that Foster seek the advice of a lawyer before signing the lease, was that unethical?
4- If Foster is at fault because he failed to either thoroughly read the lease and secure the advice of a lawyer, is there anything unethical about what Green did?
