II. Business Implica�ons
The scenario includes background informa�on on the organiza�on and general market analysis related to the proposal. As you are an execu�ve-level employee, there is an expecta�on
that your advice to leadership will be guided by the company’s mission statement and values, the profitability and market success of its products, and your exper�se in your field. In
Project One, your recommenda�on will need to balance all of these factors; however, for this assignment, you will focus only on the business aspects.
A. Discuss the role of ethics as a business driver in this decision. How do the organiza�onal values (as an ethical stance) align with the decision? What responsibility does the
organiza�on have pertaining to privacy?
B. Discuss how your personal ethical stance aligns with the decision. How did you apply an ethical framework or decision strategy to inform your posi�on?
C. What would you recommend the company do? Describe how you came to this decision. How did you balance differences between the organiza�onal ethics and your own
personal ethics?
