Homework: Code of Ethic
Your paper should address the following information:
1. What is a Code of Ethics (and why is it important)?
2. What is the difference between a code of ethics, a mission statement, and policy and procedures?
3. Review an organization's code of ethics. Students prefer to choose an organization which they are currently or have previously been employed. There are 3 papers required in this course based on your specific company. You would be adding to your workload by choosing one you needed to do additional research on. I am not looking for business research papers on these topics. All topics need to be focused on ethics and have original content.
4. Start the section on your organization by explaining who it is and what it does (structure, business, your relationship, etc.)
5. Does this organization have a formal code of ethics?
6. If not, are elements of a code included in other documents (employee handbook, policy and procedures, etc.)?
7. Review various aspects of the code (strengths and weaknesses).
8. Compare this code (formal or informal) to at least 1 code from the above list. What is included? What is missing?
9. Compare your organization's code to others in the industry (i.e., a competitor). What are the similiarities? Differences?
10. How would you strengthen the code? Codes need to be constantly reviewed and revised. You need at least 2 suggestions for improvement.
