Ethical Team Project
You should choose an organization that has been in one of the following situations:
· It has been involved in an ethical challenge (either from a single person or at the organizational level).
· It consistently models exemplary ethical decision making or has modeled that behavior in a very difficult environment.
· It presents itself as an ethical entity, but evidence to the contrary exists.
· It has a reputation as being an unethical organization, but facts indicate the reality is more nuanced.
In all cases, you should examine the organization from three perspectives, to the degree each is possible and relevant to your case:
· Ethics and the Individual. What do we know about the people inside the organization who are/were involved in the decisions under scrutiny? Relating to the first part of this course, what are their values? Are their values related to the ethical question under study?
· Ethics in the Organization. What is the ethical culture of the organization? To the degree possible, explore this from a formal and an informal perspective. Use the organization’s website, its public statements, its legal history and other elements such as those from the ethical culture audit you performed on your own organization.
· Organizational Ethics. What is the organization’s relationship and record with regard to its stakeholders? Does it operate in a global environment? To what degree does it take into account global stakeholders in its decision making?
Formatting Details
