Lack of Ethics or Silly Mistake?


Did Scott Thompson (Former CEO of Yahoo) demonstrate lack of ethical behavior or did he make a silly mistake? 

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs did not have a degree in computer science. Did they not succeed without manipulating academic credentials.

What is ethics? Ethics is honesty, morality, integrity, social responsibility, and accountability.

Corporate CEOs continue to behave unethical behavior. Are greed and orientation towards short-term profits causing this type of behavior?

    Both. It's unethical to lie on your resume. And it was a stupid, unnecessary mistake. Scott Thompson didn't need to claim a CS degree to be qualified to run Yahoo.
