If you could ship refurbished equipment to fulfill a purchase for new equipment, would you do it - if the customer would never know? Would you cut short a quality control process you market as a value-add of your company in order to ship before the end of a reporting period? Would you record you worked 4 hours on a project as opposed to the three you actually worked - if your client would never possibly find out? Would you pass along the cost savings of finding a less expensive carrier than paid for to deliver a purchase to your customer? Would you accept an expedite fee for a project with a tight deadline, even if you had more than enough time to complete it and there was no incremental cost to your business?

How far would you stretch what you know is good business ethics in order to make a larger profit?
