The answer is - The utilitarian theory of ethics in business contexts.

Explanation:

In the business context, the utilitarian theory of ethics or utilitarianism is an ethical theory which states that a business is to act in a way that maximizes happiness and reduces suffering and when making decisions it places the center of right and wrong mainly on the consequences of choosing one action over the other rather than the nature of the action. Hailey is therefore applying the Utilitarian theory of ethics.
