that is exerted to these managers especially due to shortage of money to be used in management.
Involvement of a great number of such managers is crucial because it adds to the relevance of the
study and it makes it viable to generalize the findings. This is unlike when a study uses a few
numbers of cases in a study. In such cases, it becomes ineffective to generalize the findings
because the sample may not be a relevant representative of the intended population. According to
Bishop (2013) addressing of various issues touching on ethics as may be experienced by
managers is critical in the modern times.
Article two
This article points out clearly to the implications of poor application of moral ethics in
organizations. Failure to articulate moral ethics in organizations could lead to severe
consequences. This article points out clearly to the crucial elements of an organization that could
be sabotaged by ethical misalignments in organizations. There are risks to the finances of
organizations. Finkelman & Lopez (2012) assert that; finances could be mismanaged following
lack of ethics in an organization. Customer services could also be compromised. Piercy & Lane
(2009) observe that; this is aspect is very sensitive because; with compromise of the services to
customers, an organization is usually at the brink of closure. This view emanates from the
realization that; customers are the pillars of business. Ethical misalignments also lead to market
risk whereby, an organization is not able to articulate its functionality to the demands of market.
