• Instructions:

o Agenda slide - This lists the key points covered in the PPT;
o Content slides containing bullet points information with illustrations, diagrams, pictures, graphics etc., as appropriate to the slide's content;
o Speaker's notes on each slide - either text presented in the Speaker Notes section at the bottom of the slides or Audio through your Voice speaking (or both); (Note: Speaker's Notes are not duplication of the text on the slides. They are explanatory narrative.)
• Identify the company you selected;
o explain the company and its industry;
o provide the factual background of the problem; and
o clearly state the ethical dilemma presented by the situation. There should be only ONE ethical dilemma. The company had two choices: the act it chose and an alternative it did not do.
• Identify and define at least one ethical framework that the company apparently employed in making its decision. Note -- Not "Should have used." It is not acceptable to say it did not act ethically or did not use a framework. Analyze it. Frameworks include utilitarianism, free market ethics, deontology, virtue ethics , etc., covered in your course readings.
• Then, identify and define at least one ethical framework that the company should have used when the problem arose, and explain how to apply it for them to have reached a better result than what actually happened. Be clear.
• Identify and explain measures the company should implement to avoid this type of problem in the future.
• Within your discussion include whether the company had a code of ethics or policy that seemed to apply to the situation, and if so, what went wrong with that?
• Explain what business leadership in any company can learn from this situation.
• Have a conclusion that wraps up the key points.
• Include a Reference slide with at least seven (7) credible sources listed in APA format. (NOTE: Sources must be cited in slides and speaker's notes for direct quotes, specific facts and graphics, same as in a paper, per APA format. If you are doing audio speaker notes, you would mention the source in your speaking narrative.) (Reminder; we are using APA 7th Ed. format.)
