Students taking business courses are sometimes a little surprised to find that lectures on business ethics have been included in their syllabuses of study. They often do not realize that, later in their careers, they may be tempted to bend their principles to get what they want; perhaps also they are not fully aware that bribery in various forms is on the increase in many countries.
In dealing with the topic of business ethics, some lecturers ask students how they would act in the following situation: Suppose you were head of a major soft-drinks company and you want to break into a certain overseas market where the growth potential for your company is likely to be very great indeed. During negotiations with government officials of this country, the Minister of Trade makes it clear to you that if you offer him a substantial bribe, you will find it much easier to get an import licence for your goods, and you are also likely to avoid "bureaucratic delays", as he puts it. Now, the question is: Do you pay up or stand by your principles?
It is easy to talk about having high moral standards but, in practice, what would one really do in such a situation? Some time ago the British car manufacturer, British Leyland, was accused of operating a "slush fund", and of questionable practices such as paying agents and purchasers with padded commission, offering additional discounts and making payments to numbered bank accounts in Switzerland. The company rejected these allegations and they were later withdrawn. Nevertheless, at this time, there were people in the motor industry in Britain who were prepared to say in private, "Look, we’re in a wheeling-dealing business. Every year we’re selling more than 1,000 million worth of cars abroad. If we spend a few million greasing the palms of some of the buyers, who’s hurt? If we didn’t do it, someone else would. "
It is difficult to resist the impression that bribery and other questionable payments are on the increase. Indeed, they seem to have become a fact of commercial life. To take just one example, the Chrysler Corporation, third largest of the U. S. motor manufacturers, disclosed that it made questionable payments of more than $2. 5 million. By making this revelation, it joined more than 300 U. S. companies that had admitted to the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission that they had made dubious payments.
The best title of this passage would be
选项
A、Bribery Is Inevitable Nowadays.
B、Business Ethics Lectures Are Necessary.
C、Bribery and Securities and Exchange Commission.
D、How to Avoid Business Bribery.
答案
A
解析
本文的最佳题目可能是[A]如今行贿已经不可避免。[B]商业道德讲座很有必要。[C]贿赂和美国证券交易署。[D]怎样避免商业贿赂。通观全文,可见文章的第一段并非主题段,而是起到了引人话题的作用。文章从商业道德课谈起,然后设计一个想象的情况,接下来指出在现实中人们的表现,最后一段点出文章的主题:行贿和其他不正当送钱的情况越来越多,这种印象很难磨灭。也就是贿赂不可避免的意思,所以[A]为正确答案。[B]、[C]为文章细节,而[D]的内容本文并没有涉及。
