The physician in your example is not acting as an employee of a corporation, but acting unethically as an individual. Hasna's point is that the same physician should not be responsible for unethical conduct by others not under his/her control - such as a laboratory assistant in the same medical group.

I found Hasnas's arguments for the most part unconvincing--especially his assertion that employees might break the law by mistake and hence corporations should not be held responsible for the criminal actions committed by their employees. Come on, a physician who refers patients to a psychiatric hospital without telling them that he is earning a referral commission clearly knows that what he is doing is wrong!
