Question

Innovation activities are often aimed at making a discovery or commercializing a technology ahead of competition. What are some of the unethical practices that companies could engage in during the innovation process. What are potential long-term consequences of such actions

Answer 1

Answer:

lack of consumer safety

Explanation:

One of the biggest unethical practices that occur during the innovation process is lack of consumer safety. The entire idea of the innovation process is to try and create something truly functional that has not been done before and release it way before any competitor can create a similar product. In this rush to create the product, producers completely ignore many obvious faults that the product may have and/or any dangers it may pose to the consumer as long as the product works as intended.
