 Interpersonal dilemmas are when one's values clash with the values being

dictated by another person, parent / boss or organisation / society.

Ethical dilemmas are always intrapersonal.

 The word `kickback' suggests that something is wrong with the payment

of commission to the person.

 Organisations like all collectives have values. Individuals in organisational

roles have to conduct themselves in accordance with organisational

values which may sometimes, be opposed to their individual values. They

may be actively engaged in organisational activities which they may

personally consider unethical.

 Values of an organisation, determine its ethical behaviour, not the

laws/rules of the industry.

 Values of organisations are usually set by the founders but do evolve and

change. As an open system, organisational values are affected by every

employee. Those at the top of the hierarchy may have a stronger

influence.
