Case Instructions
Case: Does This Milkshake Taste Funny?
In this case, George Stein is faced with an ethical dilemma. Identify that dilemma and the
stakeholders affected by it. I would like you to address all of the reasons why you believe
George will act UNETHICALLY and remove the filters, allowing the maggots to remain in the
mix AND all of the reasons why you think that George will behave ETHICALLY, refuse to
remove the filters, and report the maggot problem to management. For each of the reasons you
address, you need to provide reference support. For example, if you state that George will act
unethically because of his young age, provide a reference that states that younger individuals
are more likely to engage in unethical behavior than older individuals (or something to that
effect). After discussing the reasons George may act unethically or ethically, state which way
you think he will sway (i.e., refuse to remove filters and report the maggots OR remove the
filters and let the maggots flow into the mix). I would also like you to make some
recommendations regarding what George should do as well as what Eastern Dairy can do to
make sure that employees know exactly what to do if a similar situation arises in the future.
