Respect For Truth, Respect for Ethical And Moral Integrity

Telling the truth and backing it up with actions shows respect for what’s right, esteem for ethical and moral integrity. Connors, C. (2016). Honesty is one of the key components of a character and one of the most admired traits of any successful, responsible person. Honesty is the culture at Finer Bags because they do not hide the fact they are selling knockoffs. If they made their customers think that the bags are real then that would be dishonest. The original bag makers may be able to bring a counterfeit case against Finer Bags for selling knockoffs but at the end of the day they are being honest about their corporate culture by being transparent.

Corporate cultural dissonance could be occurring at Finer Bags because although they have a culture of honesty, they are still selling knockoffs meaning that they are stealing from the companies that make the originals.

Another way to look at corporate culture dissonance per Wikipedia is having an uncomfortable sense of discord, disharmony, confusion, or conflict experienced by people in the midst of change in their cultural environment.

Although there isn’t change per say at the company in question, all other components may occur. When you look at this case from a Utilitarian view, Finer Bags is bringing happiness to many people that couldn’t otherwise afford to pay for expensive designer’s purses. If a knockoff can be made to look and feel like the original at a fraction of the price, then an argument can be made that the original bag makers are more than making their profits.

Finer Bags allows for many people with modest incomes to own designer bags rather than a select few with money. Another argument could be formulated against Finer Bags using Kant’s Categorical Imperative Golden Rule of treating others how you want to be treated. Taking someone’s idea that they worked hard for and making money off of it without their permission could be seen as plain wrong. By selling Knockoffs Finer Bags is just piggybacking off someone’s hard work without giving them credit. In conclusion, ethically Finer Bag could be seen as a company with honesty that aims to bring joy to people that can’t afford expensive original bags, but on the other hand selling counterfeit or knockoffs is illegal. Ultimately arguments can be made for and against.
