Assignment:

Students will research articles or book chapters about the corporate activity of a fairly well-known corporation. Students will write a 5- Six page case study of that corporation's ethical performance with an ethical review of four business ethics dimensions from all the dimensions below that we have studied in this course. You will need a good website page from the organization but also supporting academic articles.

Please start your review by summarizing the corporation, its primary business activities, provide any available information the corporation's history of ethical issues/standards; its existing ethical integrity - its benefits/harms. Choose among four of these dimensions below:

1. Describe the company's ethics of corporate governance; Board duties, its performance of key principles from PowerPoint, readings.
2. Does it practice stakeholder theory (descriptive, instrumental or normative) how does it engage stakeholder input/involvement;
3. Does it have a corporate social responsibility program (philanthropic, ethical, legal, economic) what has it accomplished;
4. Does it promote environmental sustainability/climate change emissions mitigation ethical values/practices; or is it involved with minority or low-income communities for environmental justice?
5. How is it performing with diversity needs (gender, race/culture, age, religion, physically-challenged) and ethical practices;
6. How well does it provide employee benefits and satisfying workplace environment? Are there critical issues discussed about employee obligations to employers, is there a union or not; fair wages, benefits?
7. Is this an international corporation, how well does it comply with international acts for corporate behavior abroad (UN Global Compact). Does it promote certain global ethical values?

Please make sure to integrate definitions and emphases of the four dimensions you choose from class readings. Please also write about one-two ethical theories that are relevant to the decision-making of the corporation you have written about. Please include about three tenets of the theory to describe how the corporation's ethical decision-making is within that theory or is not within it and should have this ethical theory.

The final case review should be five or more pages with page six as the Works Cited. Please edit your review for good grammar and spelling and make sure to have in-text citations. It is fine to use class materials (readings and PowerPoints) but you should have three new articles and they should be credible reports or peer-reviewed articles.
