Assignment 1: A Case Study in Ethics
With the MGMT 566 readings as a resource, you are expected to spend time
reflecting and thinking critically about ethical issues in business and the
ethical implications and challenges for operating a business in a global
context. You are required to compose 4-5 page paper (1100 words) that addresses
the following:
1.
Describe an ethics case or issue that
you believe to be important;
2.
Describe the ethical issues at play,
relating these to the ethical theories discussed in the lectures;
3.
Identify the stakeholders affected by
the ethical issue and describe any conflicting or competing interests held by
these stakeholders;
4.
Make recommendations for addressing the
ethical issues; and,
In this assignment, you will employ theoretical learning and current
understanding of ethics and course concepts as these apply to your choice of
industry, country or region. This gentle but challenging entry into ethical
reasoning and analysis requires you to apply the language of business
ethics in real-world contexts.
Length: 1100
The assignment instructions include:
1.
Briefly describe the context of the
issue and identify the actions or decisions that you consider to be unethical.
What is the rationale (reason) for the current practice? Whom does it benefit?
2.
What specific ethical principles are
being ignored or violated?
3.
Which stakeholders are negatively
affected? What is the local impact? The global impact?
4.
Is there a company in this location or
culture that operates ethically, beyond compliance? If so, briefly describe
those of its practices or decision processes that are more ethical, from your
perspective. If not, what change in practices (or laws) might you recommend, to
improve the ethics for each situation that you have identified?
This essay should be an evidence-based
piece of writing. All sources must be referenced in APA format and a
bibliography must be included and the end of the essay.
