Assignment
The goal of the study is to interview a leader of an organization to obtain knowledge and insight into ethical leadership.
The primary source of data collection for this qualitative study is an interview conducted asynchronously by e-mail in the virtual environment or a face-to-face interview.
TO COMPLETE YOUR PAPER, BE SURE TO READ AND ADDRESS EACH OF THE STEPS/DELIVERABLES BELOW:
Write 6 to 7 page qualitative research paper (similar to what you would read in a case study) on ethical leadership based on your interview. You will need to include references from scholarly material, including your assigned textbook and articles. It is required that you cite both within your text and on your reference page in APA 6th Edition format.

D. How does corporate culture including social responsibility impact ethics and ethical decision making?
E. Can you give examples of how ethics effect areas of your organization such as marketing?
Consider these additional questions when you are formulating your paper:

o What recommendations would you make to the client?
