Which of the following statements regarding business ethics is NOT correct? According to Bagley in The Ethical Leader's Decision Tree, directors' obligation is to manage the corporation "for the best interests of the corporation", which might not be “maximizing shareholder value" all the time. According to Bagley in The Ethical Leader's Decision Tree, when there is no established ethics policy, directors can turn to their company values statement for guidance about what constitutes ethical business behavior. According to Epley and Kumar in How to Design an Ethical Organization, a better way to manage ethics is to design workplace context that encourage good behavior. Keeping prosocial values top of mind for employees as they make decisions will reduce the likelihood of transgressions. According to Epley and Kumar in How to Design an Ethical Organization, the "tone at the top" is a much more significant driver of employees' behavior than "tone in the middle".

Assuming Company ABC currently holds the largest market share in a town, making it the dominant player. Its only competitor, Company XYZ, sells a similar product but has a smaller market share. Presently, ABC earns a profit of $1,800, while XYZ earns $1,200. ABC is now confronted with a challenge: its rival, XYZ. is signaling a potential price reduction to attract more customers. ABC has two strategic options: lower its price or maintain the price. If ABC reduces its price before XYZ does, it could potentially increase its profit to $2, 000, while XYZ might see its profit halve. However, if both ABC and XYZ lower their prices, leading to a price war, ABC's profit could drop by $200, and XYZ's profit could decrease by $300. On the other hand, if ABC chooses to retain its current pricing while XYZ reduces its price, ABC's profit might decline to $1.300.
