20) Joanna Newsom owns and operates Joanna’s Burgers, a small fast food store,
located at the edge of City College campus in Newton, Ohio. After several very
profitable years, Joanna’s Burgers began to have problems. Most of the problems were
related to Joanna’s expansion of the eating area in the restaurant without corresponding
increases in the food preparation area. Joanna does not have the cash or financial
backing to expand further. She has therefore decided to sell her business.
Vivian Girls is interested in purchasing the business. However, she is located in another
city and is unfamiliar with Newton. She has asked Joanna why she is selling Joanna’s
Burgers. Joanna replies that her elderly mother requires extra care, and that her brother
needs help in his manufacturing business. Both are true, but neither is his primary
reason for selling. Joanna reasons that Vivian should not have asked her anyway, since
profitable businesses don’t come up for sale.
Required:
1>Identify the stakeholders in this situation.
2>Did Joanna act ethically in not revealing fully his reasons for selling the business?
Why or why not?
