However, Ford was ethically wrong in its decision to forego the improvements and thereby risk the lives of its consumers. In any case, it certainly appears that Ford was rushing against time to capture the market and overcome its competitors in the compact car industry. On ethical and moral judgments, a decision informed by material benefits at the expense of human lives is certainly wrong and misguided. Worse still, the cost benefit analysis conducted by Ford amounted to involving its consumers in a deal of which they were totally oblivious. For such a decision to qualify on ethical grounds, the automaker would have made public its decisions on the faults of the vehicle and the subsequent cost benefit analysis so as to inform the potential buyers of Pinto. In such a case, the company would be exonerated from the faults that came as a consequence of the defect in the vehicle. Moral conduct regards human lives as totally absolute and should never be quantified with other material products (Mappes 2008). Human beings are generally risk averse and would not really partake into evitable instances where their lives are put to risk. The passing on of the $11 to the customers comes after the maintenance has been made and the vehicle is devoid of the risk. In this case, the rationality of the customer does not therefore come in. their decision to buy the car is therefore pegged upon other thing like cost and taste but not risk. It is therefore certainly much different from the case of the airbags which are optional and the consumer has to make a decision. 2) In the Ulrich case, Ford should have been found guilty of criminal homicide. Inasmuch as the judge realized that Ford had not disregarded the fault in the vehicle, the fundamental concern that should have guided the case was the approach that Ford gave the whole issue even after realizing it. A cost benefit analysis where the lives of human beings are given value does not really pass for an effective remedy strategy that should hold water in a court of law. In any case, the Judge should have noted that Ford did not inform the consumers of the Pinto on the cost benefit analysis and the fuel tank fault the vehicle had. If Ulrich had bought the vehicle after being informed of the whole situation at hand, there would be no need to drag Ford into the court. However, given the state of events in the case, the judge was certainly wrong in the decision to exonerate the company from the blame. It certainly amounts to the fact that Ford was certainly guilty of criminal homicide and should have been charged for that. 3) In a more social world where the relationship between organizations and their employees are no longer merely defined by work-pay relationship, it certainly becomes imperative for organizations to become very social and much more responsible for the various needs of their employees. Seminars on proper financial planning and good parenting can greatly improve the socio-economic lives of the employees without directly benefiting the organization. However, in a world of social responsibility, such measures become almost necessary. Most successful organizations across the world are known to benefit their employees in various ways without directly gaining from them (Traer 2009).
