Case Briefing Assignment

Read pages 89-100 on John Dewey’s pragmatism. This simply adds to your arsenal the moral value theory as described by Dewey.

Write a one page case brief on any one of the cases discussed this week going back to H B Fuller on page 21. The case brief should be short and to the point. It should follow the guidelines set forth in the syllabus concerning Case Brief Format. Apply any of the moral principles we have talked about to your issue. Tie your discussion to the authors you have read. The solution to every ethical question begins with who you already are.

Guidelines:

Format for Briefs and other Article Summaries:

Issue: A statement of the pertinent facts and the primary business ethical issue presented by the case or article. This may include references to the ancillary issues to highlight why the student has chosen the primary issue to be the issue of importance.

Rule: A statement of the conflicting moral standards or “rules” as presented by the applicable portion of the course texts, or the videos or other materials presented by the professor citing the applicable chapter and page or presentation subject where the rules are found, as well as the full text of the rules. One standard is the rule the student recommends for solution of the issue. The other standard is an alternative rule that could generate a different outcome.

Analysis/application: The student’s independent analysis/application of the issues presented and the rule to be applied to that issue. In addition, the student may wish to include references to other issues or rules that he or she considered in preparing the analysis.

Conclusion: The student’s personal conclusion as to the reported facts in the article and the application of the rule selected. What ethical conclusion do you draw from the preparation of the brief concerning the article or situation? This conclusion may or may not agree with the statements found in the article selected.
