Part 1: What Would You Do?

Scenario

The purpose of this exercise is for you to practice applying the skill of integrating ethics into the decision-making process.

On page 30 of the textbook, review #5 in the "What Would You Do?" section, and describe how you would handle the situation. Outline your response by using the five-step decision-making process as described in Chapter 1. Use your critical-thinking skills, and compose your response in your own words. Your response to Part 1 should be at least one page.

Part 2: Case #2: Ethical and Business Setbacks for Nokia

The purpose of this exercise is for you to identify how an ethical school of thought relates to an IT scenario. Analyze Case #2 that begins on page 32 of the textbook, and answer the discussion questions that follow the case. In addition to answering the discussion questions, briefly identify the major ethical schools of thought (or approaches) discussed in this unit (see page 22 in the textbook).

Next, identify which one you prefer. Additionally, identify which school of thought you used in answering each of the discussion questions and how it applies. Your response to Part 2 should be at least one page. Be sure to use your critical-thinking skills and your own words to answer each question.

You will combine both Part 1 and Part 2 together in one document and submit it for grading in Blackboard. Ensure you label your responses as Part 1 and Part 2. Cite the textbook in APA on a reference page for this assignment. The reference page does not count toward meeting the total page requirement for this assignment.
