We had to write a blog for this class on business ethics and I not knowing that much simply googled business ethics and found this article which surprisingly caught my interest. This article talks about Oracle, quite a huge company with a crazy rich founder, who hired a new co-president Mark Hurd, a good business man that brings questionable ethics into the picture. At first I had no clue who Mark Hurd was but I used the so hated Wikipedia to figure out this man, and after reading about his experience at HP laying off so many, than the sexual harassment claims, I was thinking that this was the worst person to hire to run a company. I will now critic Oracle on their decision, Oracle is one of the largest companies in the world and now they bring in a questionable executive, this could ruin them. The tidbit of information that I noticed was that the CEO of Oracle is one of Mr Hurd’s good friends, Larry Ellison. Mr. Ellison and Oracle, I know that you are BFFs with this guy but he isn’t a good guy, stop helping your rich corrupt friend get richer and spread his corruption. And Mr. Hurd, it seems you get a second chance but don’t screw up, and I still think you should be in prison.
