According to my opinion the candidate due to whom the problem has risen and has put the companyinto

this dilemma, should not be hired although the attractions in hiring seem beneficial for thecompany. Such as the increase in the revenues and the potential of getting their medicines patentthrough the contact of this person. Hiring of this person may also help in getting several new clientsdue to his fathers affiliation with the medical association. The probable benefits seem attractive but tolet go all the ethics in return of a probable increase in revenues, may outweigh the benefits of thedecision of hiring this candidate. The systems, culture and the implementation of the ethical behaviorhas been a very difficult task.
