Assignment task:
While our discussions of ethics in business can sometimes seem esoteric and removed from our day-to-day management responsibilities, the various media are filled with real-life examples of unethical business behavior that harms the businesses involved, as well as their shareholders, customers, employees, and other stakeholders.
Identify a news story that has been published within the 30 days preceding the due date of this discussion that describes such a breach of business ethics. You may find these through a web search, library research, professional journals, professional association websites, newspapers, etc.
1. Briefly explain the situation and the parties involved.
2. Identify your ethical standard and the ethical issue(s) that violates that standard.
3. Explain how you would have prevented this situation and would now respond, including support from a second source.
