Question

Choose healthy groceries. Create fabulous Web sites. Destroy green pigs with angry birds. There are phone apps to do just about everything. Even knowing how to avoid sobriety checkpoints—locations where law enforcement officials stop some drivers and perform breath tests on those suspected of being drunk. In March 2011, U.S. senators Harry Reid, Charles E. Schumer, Frank R. Lautenberg, and Tom Udall sent a letter to Apple, Google, and Research In Motion (BlackBerry’s parent company) requesting that these companies remove those apps from their online stores. The senators believed that the apps were “harmful to public safety” because it made it too easy for intoxicated drivers to avoid the checkpoints. BlackBerry agreed to pull its apps not long after receiving the letter and thanked the group for bringing these apps to their attention. Apple and Google did not respond. One point to make is that these apps do nothing illegal in supplying the precise locations of sobriety checkpoints. However, the vice president for policy at Mothers against Drunk Driving said, “There’s a difference between a broad announcement that there will be sobriety checkpoints in a general location versus a specific location that can be downloaded to your smartphone with the intent of allowing a drunk driver to evade a checkpoint. Questions: a. What do you think? Are these apps ethical? Why or why not? b. When crafting strategy, should managers ever consider whether the strategy being implemented is offensive, objectionable, questionable, or unacceptable? Is it more acceptable or less acceptable when your company is considered an industry icon to continue with such strategies? Or does it matter? c. What stakeholders are most important in this situation, and what concerns might those stakeholders have?
