PHASE 3: INDIVIDUAL PROJECT 3
THE LEGAL AND ETHICALENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS
PROFESSOR JEFFREY KRAGER
LEGAL AND ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITIES Running a business can be a good thing but at the same time be the worst. There is so much to consider because the life of your business is consumers. You must create a business plan that will attract consumers and bring them in. Sounds easy? Not quite. Reason being, there is a lot of competitors out there. You have to make others believe that your products is better and why they should come to you verses the others. Also, you have to consider your approach as to reaching out to the potential clients.

These companies should have had some type of penalty or consequences for this because of what happened. As for Nissan, luckily no one died in this case but for Bexco, they were responsible for injuries and death. This hurts me the most because I am a mother to a child about the same age as the 20 month old baby who was killed by it. It is just so sad. I could only imagine how devastated these parents
