Project Management and the Professional Assignment-
Tasks and Assessment
This assessment requires that you prepare a report addressing the questions in each section. You are expected to conceptualise the problem or issue, find relevant references for context, facts, theory and examples and come up with appropriate points of view. Your positions should be supported with argument and citations as appropriate. Marks will also be awarded for presentation and professionalism of response.
1) Stakeholder Ethics
a) Identify at least three key stakeholders relevant to this case study and discuss why you believe they are stakeholders;
b) For each key stakeholder describe the situation (and reasoning) from their perspective;
c) Explain the major areas of conflict (if any) between these perspectives.
d) For each stakeholder group identified, select what you believe is the relevant ethical view taken and then explain why you attributed that ethical stance to them.
e) What do you personally think of the circumstances described in the case study?
Explain your own individual ethical view regarding the situation outlined;
Give your personal assessment of key stakeholders involved and whether you believe them justified in their points of view.

Answer the following:
a) In your opinion, and supplying reasoning for each of the three Codes reviewed:
What evaluation would the Code most likely render regarding the situation described?
Which (if any) stakeholder position would the Code most likely support and why?
b) What are the major differences/similarities between the three ethical codes of conduct you have examined? Why are these differences, similarities or areas of conflict present?
Where needed, justify your answer with specific references to items within both the case study and the Codes themselves.
