Convergence

When there is a convergence of problems hitting a business there can be a significant deviation from ethical rules to resolve the problems. This can be a one of a kind event or as it can become a ways of life that uses the excuse of survival to justify its less than ethical practices. Mismanaged business are susceptible to the effects of convergence. For instance, one serious problem can crop up when the delivery truck breaks down due to poor maintenance, an auditor finds taxes are owed due to poor bookkeeping, an employee quits because he or she is abused or exploited in the work place, and a large order of needed material must be returned to the supplier due to defects. All of these things can happen at once. Mismanagement sets a company up to failure or conditions wherein the company is desperate enough to bend ethical rules. There are businesses perpetually in a crisis who use their shortcomings to aggressively exploit the public.
