Ethics Cue

Psychology and behavioral economics studies show:
- when we see old people we walk more slowly
- when we see a picture of a fancy restaurant we use better manners when we next eat
- when we subliminally see the Apple logo we’re more creative
- mere exposure to fast-food symbols reduced people’s willingness to save and led them to prefer immediate gain over greater future return.
Now, consider your ethical management team and that http://www.EthicsHotline.org poster in your workplace. Definitely a cue to think ethics before making business decisions!
