Unethical management behaviour occurs when managers personally violate accepted principles of right and wrong. Authority and power inherent in some management positions can tempt managers to engage in unethical practices. There is risk that some managers will cross over line from legitimate use of company resources to personal use of those resources. Information is key part of management work and managers collect, analyze, act, and disseminate it while also keeping confidential information confidential. Leaking company secrets to competitors, doctoring the numbers, wrongfully withholding information, or lysing are some possible misuse of information entrusted to managers.
