Case Scenario: In considering this case, this recent story on the Amazon and drilling for oil connects to growing complexity of our world. It enables us to consider economic growth and thinking about the social ecological system effects. Also, it is another example of corporations in general, in their pursuit of wealth and power, and lack of consideration and responsibility towards the common good and the biosphere.
Question 1: In critically weighing out this case, there is no doubt that issues/challenges presented in this case need to be addressed as we consider desired futures and the greater good of society.
In analyzing this case from the UN's SDG/2030 Agenda, what SDGs primarily connect to this case and could be considered in a future strategy? What would be the implications of considering or not considering these SDGs that you present (i.e., positive or negative impacts to society).
Question 2: Reflecting on Weston's text on moral visioning, how might this relate to this case? What strategies (explain how they connect) could be used to enable a creative outcome in this case? Explain clearly and concisely.
Question 3: In considering this case as an 'ethical leader' what factors need to be considered (reflect on our unit on ethical leadership) in the decision-making and action process? What might Rost, Adam Smith, or Rousseau say needs to be considered by individuals and society in one's decision-making and actions? Why are these considerations you propose important? What actions can emerging leaders take to encourage diverse perspectives/frameworks in organizations?
