6th Week--Personal VS Corporate Ethics

Personal and Corporate Ethics is always a 'sticky' situation because so many personal ethics can overlap corporate ones and then it comes into question, "Which do you follow when you have to choose between the two?"
Examples of ethics that overlap within Personal and Corporate Ethics:
-Truth VS Loyalty
Ex: Whether to tell the media something that is necessary and they should know VS Keeping your stakeholders happy and keeping information confidential

-Individual VS Community
Ex: Whether to satisfy the Individual VS a whole Community (to do what is better for one person or more...)

-Justice VS Mercy
Ex: To do what is justified VS merciful act (includes law VS emotions)

-Short-Term VS Long-Term
Ex: To achieve short-term goals VS long-term goals (profit VS overall success)

Each decision is strictly situational. What might be a better decision personally will not be suitable corporately ethics-wise so weigh out options keeping in mind the PRSA Code of Ethics such as:
-Advocacy
-Honesty
-Loyalty
-Fairness
