Description

Business ethics courses taught in colleges and universities are sometimes thought to be primarily about making students more ethical. However, this is typical, not what business ethics regards as their primary task. Rather, business ethics faculty typically regard their job as one of helping students to understand the complex ethical issues managers must confront, best practices with respect to ethical management, and sound public policy regarding the relationship of business to society. You will discuss the legal and ethical issues surrounding the historic product liability case mentioned in most Business Ethics books as the Ford Pinto case. You will need to research the company through the University. We also have additional sources created for our class Incorporate three specific laws (e.g. contract, tort) that apply to the corporate decisions in this case. Discuss how the philosophy of economist Milton Friedman may have influenced the employees, executives/managers of the company. Discuss Ford or Lee Iacocca moral responsibilities to stakeholders and to the safety of customers. In addition, identify an ethical framework (ethical perspectives, i.e. free market ethics, utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics or ethic of care) other than Free Market Ethics that applies to this situation and discuss how it may have influenced the executives of the company.
