Business Ethics & Positive Social Change

To prepare for this Assignment, identify and research a business ethics crisis for scandal. You may want to review Chapter 13 and Case 15 of Dyer, Godfrey, Jensen, and Bryce (2018) for ideas, as well as the Walden Library databases. Consider how a strategic decision can negatively impact social change and how infusing ethics into business strategy can help prevent crises.

Submit a 5- to 7-page paper evaluating business ethics within the context of positive social change. Your evaluation should address the following:

• What are the essential details of the event, and what do you see as the causes of the crisis and/or negative impact to society?
• Where do you see failures in corporate governance?
• What caused the failures in the ethical culture and climate of the company?
• What ethical policy might prevent this scenario from occurring in the future?
• If you were a leader within this company, what choices would you have made differently to effect positive social change?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
