1. To determine the correct answer, we need to carefully consider each option and eliminate ones that do not align with the majority of CEOs' beliefs. This may require looking into relevant literature or surveys on the topic. In this case, option D suggests that CEOs blame unethical employee conduct on the nation's business schools tolerating unethical behavior in students. To confirm if this is the majority viewpoint, we can look for studies, articles, or surveys that specifically address the opinions of CEOs on the causes of unethical employee conduct. Once we have sufficient evidence, we can determine if option D is indeed the correct answer.
2. To select the correct answer, we need to evaluate each option based on whether it aligns with businesses meeting their responsibility to society. Option B suggests that businesses can best meet their responsibility by shifting the blame for product liability cases onto the legal system. However, this option does not seem to prioritize social responsibility. We should consider options that focus on contributing positively to society, such as creating markets for domestic products, supporting preferred government officials, or creating wealth for stockholders. By analyzing and understanding the concept of social responsibility, we can determine which option best aligns with this responsibility.
3. To find the correct answer, we need to understand the purpose of evaluating an organization's progress towards implementing programs for social responsibility. The options provided are the accountability review, social audit, federal disclosure statement, and annual report. By analyzing the purpose and characteristics of each option, we can determine which one aligns with evaluating an organization's progress towards achieving social responsibility.
4. To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the characteristics of ethical problems and issues of social responsibility. The options provided suggest that these problems and issues are either unique to firms involved in global trade, unique to the United States, not unique to the United States, or less important now than in the past. To evaluate each option, we should consider the global context and implications of ethical problems and issues of social responsibility, as well as historical and current perspectives. By doing so, we can eliminate options that are not accurate and select the one that best represents the nature of these problems and issues.
5. To select the correct answer, we need to understand the current state of top leaders in government and business in comparison to the past. The options suggest that they are held to higher ethical standards than in the past, held to less strict moral standards than in the past, less interested in social responsibility than in the past, or at odds with the general public in regard to ethical issues. By analyzing relevant information and sources regarding the ethical standards, moral expectations, and attitudes of top leaders in government and business, we can determine which option accurately represents their current status compared to the past.
