  2. Ethical Principles • Self-Interests: “Never take any action that is not in the long-term self interests of yourself and the organization to which you belong.” • Personal Virtues: “Never take any action that is not honest, open, and truthful, and which you would not be proud to see reported widely in national newspapers and on network television.” Hosmer, Larue, The Academy of Management Review, Volume 20, Issue 2, (April., 1995), 379-403.

  3. Code of Ethics III. Avoid Conflicts of Interest In working at Google, we have an obligation to always do what's best for thecompany and our users. When you are in a situation where competingloyalties could cause you to pursue a personal benefit for you or your friendsor family at the expense of Google or our users, you may be subject to aconflict of interest. All of us should avoid circumstances that present eventhe appearance of such a conflict. Below we provide guidance in six areas where conflicts of interest often arise: • personal investments • outside employment and inventions • outside board memberships • business opportunities found through work • personal relationships at work, and • accepting gifts and other business courtesies “ In each of these situations, the rule is the same - you must avoid conflicts, and if you face a potential conflict of interest, review the situation with your manager and Ethics and Compliance officer and get their approval.” Google Code of Conduct. Google, 28 July 2009.

  7. Our Preference Only office romance between a boss and subordinate should be reported to the organization Excerpt from NCR Corporation’s Code of Conduct • NCR does not seek to insert itself into employees' personal relationships. However, when an employee has a significant personal relationship with another employee, complications can sometimes arise that may cause problems in the workplace. To minimize the chances of any adverse impact on the workplace, it is essential that employees conduct themselves in a fully professional, appropriate, and mature manner. • Additionally, employees with management responsibilities should be aware that having an intimate relationship with a lower-level employee in their organization might limit their ability to manage certain aspects of the business or otherwise cause problems in the workplace. Therefore, the company strongly discourages employees from living with, dating, or becoming involved in a romantic relationship with another person over whom the employee has supervisory, hiring, or disciplinary authority. • Managers/subordinates who have or enter into such a relationship are required to immediately disclose the existence of the relationship to Human Resources or the Ethics & Compliance Officer, so that the Company may take appropriate action to address issues that may arise. Self-interests and Personal Virtues Principles support this position Nuti, William. NCR Corporation Code of Conduct. NCR Corporation, 5 Jan. 2010.
