Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The action of shipping out pre-ordered merchandise earlier than planned to ensure a profit for the year could be seen as a violation of integrity. This is because the company is not being honest with its customers about the delivery schedule and is instead prioritizing its own financial gain over the customers' expectations. It does not relate to competence or confidentiality.
