Assessment 2: Case Study
Assessment Detail
In this case analysis, you need to identify an issue in business ethics and/or sustainability and demonstrate your understanding of the discipline by evaluating your recommendations. You can investigate a real-life case from an organisation. Your lecturer will not assign you to a case study. You must discuss your choice of case study with your lecturer by providing a verbal or written rationale for choosing a particular case study. Your lecturer needs to approve your choice of case study in written format (APIC email). Plagiarised assignments will not be tolerated.
You need to consider a significant business ethics and/or sustainability issue. Do not consider multiple issues as it will degrade the quality of work. You need to consider yourself being a consultant helping with the issue. Your lecturer is looking for creative solutions proposed by groups.
Examples of issues could be:
• Corporate Social Responsibility and stakeholders
• Managing ethical issues
• Ethical decision making
• The role of corporate culture and ethical decision making
• Ethics auditing
• Ethical leadership
Students will need to collect data from actual organisations and/or secondary sources. Valid sources for obtaining such data may include:
• Visits to the case company and interviewing key personnel (if you choose to do this, interview questions should be included in appendices).

research publications, databases and so on. (WIKIPEDIA is not a suitable one)
