In more or less two full pages, double-spaced, report your discussion results of the following tasks:
Task 1
Bowie is criticizing the strategy of some businesspeople who think that it pays to bluff. Use what you have learned in this Unit to evaluate Bowie's claim. Is Bowie correct or not? Why? What ideas that you have learned in this Unit is relevant here?
Task 2
There are many ethical issues surrounding sweatshops. We don't have time to cover that in this course and to try to come up with a final verdict. However, just from what you have learned in this Unit, what ethical concerns can be highlighted?
Note:
- In order to get everybody talking and contributing, there can only be 2-3 people in one group.Bring your computer to class. Don't be a burden to your groupmates by coming to class unprepared.
- The above questions are intentionally vague so that you may be more creative and reflect more in the group.
- Be candid and give thoughtful responses. For average work, you will get 7 out of 10 points. The last three points are reserved for those who really put in effort with thoughtful responses. (Yes, I can tell, especially after reading so many reports from all the groups.)
- One submission per group, by email. Put someone's name in the filename.
