Which statement does NOT support the claim than an unconditioned ethical directive such as the one the economic corporate social responsibility demands of business management is inappropriate for utilitarian theory? a. Markets can work to prevent harm only by first-hand experience with harms that have to occur before they can be remedied. b. It is claimed that once market failures are adequately addressed by the government, business just needs to obey the law that addressed them. Business, however, has the ability to inappropriately influence government policy and the law. c. Business has the ability to influence consumers' desires by helping shape those desires through advertising. d. A more precise formulation of a utilitarian-based principle would be to maximize profit whenever doing so produces the greatest good for the greatest number, with the proviso that managers must consider the impact a decision will have in many ways other than merely financial.
