BUSINESS LAW, ETHICS, AND SOCIAL RES

Every manager has different skills, and specialties of expertise.  It is quite possible that you could be in a situation where you see something that someone else does not see, especially if they are working under you with less education or experience than you.  If a loan officer working under you recommends a loan to a customer, describe (A) when you would authorize that loan, and (B) when you would deny the loan in each of the following cases and give your rationale.

1. You disagree with your subordinate because you do not think restaurants are good investments in general, so you have a bad feeling about this customer's ability to repay the loan based on your experience with the market rather than any financial facts.


2. You disagree with your subordinate because you think medical operations are high risk for legal problems, so you have a bad feeling about this customer's ability to repay the loan based on your experience with the law rather than any financial facts.


3. You disagree with your subordinate because you think members of their family are business failures, so you have a bad feeling about this customer's ability to repay the loan based on your experience with social history rather than any financial facts.


4. You disagree with your subordinate because you just have a bad feeling about this customer's ability to repay the loan based on your gut instinct rather than any financial facts.
