and analysing ethical issues, factors and frameworks is easy with some subjects and
disciplines, but challenging with others. Some ethical aspects are obvious, while
others are much more subtle.For the final Key Concept Exercise in this module, you
will examine the ethics, both subtle and obvious, of marketing research, especially
as they pertain to the smartphone scenario. Continue examining the junior marketing
executive’s role in representing or ‘being the face of’ the company as it attempts
to break into this new market, and ask yourself how ethical concepts apply to each
step and layer of the scenario. Begin thinking about how the manner in which you
conduct your research will account for and respect the cultural values of both
internal and external project stakeholders.To prepare for this Key Concept
