Course: WISE copy MGMT 300 Foundations of Management > Section: Week 9: November 13 - November 19

Have you ever watched the show Undercover Boss? It features a company’s “boss” working
undercover in his or her own company to find out how the organization really works. Typically,
the executive works undercover for a week, and then the employees the leader has worked with
are summoned to company headquarters and either rewarded or punished for their actions.
Bosses from organizations ranging from Waste Management to White Castle to NASCAR and
Stella and Dot have participated.

Please discuss the following:
1) What do you think? Is it ethical for a leader to go undercover in his or her organization?
2) What ethical issues could arise? How could managers deal with those issues?

Guidelines: 1)  You must use a reference from your text or from another source to support your opinion. There is no sentence requirement for this discussion just be sure to address all of the questions thoroughly. You DO NOT need to respond to a classmate. However, if you wish to, please do!
