Marilyn is the personal lines manager at a medium-sized brokerage in a regional center. The staff members are experienced and well-trained and have all been with the brokerage for a number of years. Marilyn knows that one of the customer service representatives (CSRs) was recently widowed and has been suffering financially as a result. She begins to notice small things missing from the office: several boxes of paper towels, two large cans of coffee, dishwashing detergent, paper, pens, and envelopes. Marilyn is faced with an ethical dilemma. She feels a responsibility to her employer, but she feels sympathy toward the CSR that she suspects of taking the items. Which one of the following best identifies one of the principle stakeholders or groups of stakeholders in this dilemma?
A. The other employees in the office
B. The insurers the brokerage represents
C. The suppliers of the missing items
D. The employees of neighboring businesses
