Management

1. When determining what his obligations are to his subordinate, Kevin Pfeiffer, what decision would Antonio Melendez most likely reach if he applied the utilitarian approach to decision making? What conclusions would probably result if he employed the individualism approach?
If Antonio Melendez uses utilitarian approach he would have thought of the coemployers and growth of the company and consequences to face and go ahead. But if instead of that, he uses individualism he would have asked Kevin to do what he likes, so maybe employed the individualism approach and fraud thing have blown out in the market , the consequences could be devastated like closing of the company, the costs for legal activities and also facing social media, in my opinion it would be good if this happens because would be a good way to tell others that is not good to go for fraud. So in conclusion if he uses utilitarian approach, the company will be benefit but the insurance company would have problems.
2. Put yourself in Antonio’s position and decide realistically what you would do. Is your response at a preconventional, conventional, or post conventional level of moral developmental? How do you feel about your response?
If I were in Antonio's position I probably would have stayed quiet and would behave like nothing has happened because I would not lose my job. So I would go for conventional, I am interested in organizational targets, to promote the interpersonal relationships and cooperation.
3. If Antonio or Kevin were fired because they reported Empress’s fraud, would they be justified in removing all traces of their employment at the cruise line from their resumes so they don’t have to explain to a prospective employer why they were fired? Why or why not?
I think that if I was fired from the company I would chose to not kept the real situation on my resume, or maybe just avoid my time at the company, or other case I would prefer
