Answer 1. In the article, 'The Parable of the Sadhu', by Bowen McCoy that explains the relevance of ethics in the business (Bowen H. McCoy,1987).  The team climbing the mountain that day should have restructured their goals and accordingly aligned their resources to support the person who was starving, delirious, hypothermic and almost at the verge of death. Although, every member in the group performed whatever was convenient for them to help the Sadhu but nobody actually cared if his life was of more priority than the pre-defined goals. No noe actually assumed the core responsibility for the Sadhu and left him awake in the mountain. Essentially, members in each group did only what they thought would be sufficient and will not interfere with the initial goal. However, the groups were focusing to reach the holy place but forgot to actually help a dying person which is the greater noble action possible. This framing of the entire situation and then responding in a manner such that pre-determined objective is more important than the life or death of human being could have been planned better. It was a moral responsibility to take a decision which comprehend what needs to be the right decision in terms of ethics and humanity.
Answer 2. Indeed, the answer to question 1 essentially translates into a framework that can be applied in various large organizations as well as corporations of people. This is a usual situation in business, especially when the problem at hand is to stop for something which might impact the current operations of the company.
