Specific questions that should be addressed include the following:Do you feel that there might be an ethical issue present? For the moment, assume that no laws have been broken and just focus on any possible ethical issues.Explain how a competitive bidding arrangement might be useful. Do you see any impediments to using such a bidding process in this instance?If you were going to report a suspected ethical issue, how would you do so? For instance, to whom would you report? Would you discuss the matter with anyone first?Does the fact that you have only been recently hired play into your decisions?Lastly, please assume that you suspect that some state or federal laws have been broken. In other words, the problems might be beyond just a possible ethical issue. Would this change your handling of the situation?After reading through the You Decide activity and considering the questions listed here, please prepare a paper in APA format.
