Identify an ethical issue that has occurred in the business world.

Question 1

Identify an ethical issue that has occurred in the business world. Imagine that you believe in utilitarianism as the best model for solving ethical dilemmas. Briefly discuss the issue – just enough so that your instructor understands the issue. Then discuss how you, as a utilitarian, would address the issue. Does this ethical model lead to appropriate remedies to the issue? (300-400 words)

Question 2

Identify an ethical issue that has occurred in the business world. Imagine that you believe in deontology (Kantian ethics) as the best model for solving ethical dilemmas. Briefly discuss the issue – just enough so that your instructor understands the issue. Then discuss how you, as a proponent of Kantian ethics, would address the issue. Does this ethical model lead to appropriate remedies to the issue?

Question 3

Based on your critique and comparison of various ethical models throughout the semester, especially in Journals 6 and 11, discuss the ethical model that best represents your approach to solving ethical problems. Your model should be tailored to your own beliefs and values.

Do you think that your model will be helpful as you face different types of ethical issues (e.g. with supervisors, employees, peers, customers/clients; external stakeholders)? Is there any type of issue for which your model might not be a resource for you?
