– Harm sales of goods, as customers may boycott goods produced by a company known for unethical behavior.
– Lead to a drop in stock price. Investors will be unwilling to buy shares from companies known to transact business dishonestly. Investing in dishonest firms will result in poor returns.
Immoral dealings amongst individuals or in a company builds a work atmosphere of malice and mistrust. Workers tend to go further down the drain when they are surrounded with people who practice the same. This will lead to lower productivity, promote conflict, and subsequently cripple the company.
