Ethics Analysis

This milestone activity allows you demonstrate that you can use managerial power responsibly. It relates to CLO13 and can be helpful when creating the Final Assessment Project.

What do I want you to do?

Analyze the ethics related to a controversial case and the ethics of your company.

Research to find an ethics scandal in your company’s industry. Describe in what ways your company can act to avoid this scandal. Cite the source of your case study in APA 7 format.

Analyze your company by asking these questions as a type of survey:

Is your company’s interaction with the surrounding community (neighborhoods in which it operates) a strength or a concern?

Is your company’s quality and safety of their products a strength or a concern?

Is your company’s relationship with diverse populations a strength or a concern (consider such characteristics as people of other genders, races, abilities, and other key demographics)?

Is your company’s relationship with employees a strength or a concern (consider within company facilities and within the greater supply chain)?

Is your company’s relationship with nature a strength or a concern (consider nonhuman creatures like plants, animals, fungi, and microbes as well as inanimate things such as air, water, and soil quality)?

Is your company’s treatment of executives and other leadership a strength or a concern?

Are there actions that your company takes that are disproportionately affecting people in negative ways?

Are there actions that your company could take that could significantly benefit people in positive ways without significant cost?

Are there actions that your company’s competitors take that make the world a better place that your company is not yet taking?

1. Are there actions that your company has taken recently that demonstrate controversial intentions?
2. Are there actions that your company has taken that seem to force people to act in ways that they otherwise would not act voluntarily?
3. Are there actions that your company could take that would position it as a role model for other businesses in its industry or even beyond its industry, simply as good business?
4. Are there actions that your company has taken that would seem extreme to an outsider? In what ways might it be said to have gone too far?
5. Is your company stuck in bad habits?
6. Is your company violating human rights?
7. Is your company one that is partnering with more businesses to grow its sphere of influence, or generally, one that works in an isolated manner?
8. Why do I want you to do it?
9. Managements are expected to serve as role models, and they have a formal role in establishing the company culture. So, as stewards of ethics, they have a strong ethical responsibility as decision-making agents within the firm.
10. How do I want you to do it?
11. What format(s) should the assessment be in?
12. The example you find can be described in a few sentences, and the comparison can be a few sentences.
13. The list of questions can be copied into your file in bold, with answers in regular font. The answers can be approximately two sentences each. Cite any sources that you use to support your claims in APA 7 format.
14. What tools or resources might be needed/useful?
15. Your company’s code of ethics
16. Your company’s corporate values
