Navigate to the threaded discussion and respond to the following prompts:

Briefly summarize the Borland Case.

In your analysis, be sure to discuss how the players, in this case, were impacted at each of the four levels.

What do you think about Kahn’s actions? Do his actions amount to shrewd business, deception, or both?

Some might argue that since everyone “won” in the end, Kahn’s decision was ethical. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Review the Ted Talk Our Buggy Moral Code. What is a personal fudge factor? Does Kahn’s actions in the Borland case violate your personal fudge factor? Why or Why not?

If you were Kahn, what might have been some ways to achieve the same outcome but in a more ethical manner? How do these approaches take into account the four levels of ethical issues from your reading?

Each response should contain a detailed evaluation that demonstrates clear, insightful critical thinking
