Case Scenario:
The issue of right and wrong has always been open to debate and scrutiny. In people's private lives, it is open to interpretation and is quite subjective. However, in the business world, there is not that individual definition of right and wrong, at least there should not be. Reflect back on your professional life and recall any time you can identify when, in your own opinion, your organization may have done something unethical. Please do not state or specify the name of the business, just the incident. Then, support your opinion with some research to substantiate your assertions.
Answer the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:
- Search the library and the Internet for information pertaining to the ethical violation made by your organization, past or present, and be sure not to identify the organization. See if this incident has occurred in other organizations; give 2 examples and their outcomes.
- Can you think of any legitimate justification for the organization’s actions with 2 examples? Explain.
Your answer must be in 400 to 600 words, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
