I can see this hurting a business in three ways:
1) The cheaters are more likely to have inflated resumes, so the organization loses the opportunity to get the best person for the job;
2) On the job, cheating will be de-motivating to their peers
3) The cheaters create legal liability for their actions at the organization (NB:Enron).
So true…I didn’t think about inflated resumes, but that’s a killer, and not in the good way. It hurts in business to see cheaters and scammers get away with it. That is super demotivating.
