Managing Ethics in the Workplace and Market Place

Choose from one of the following Web sites where you will find strong statements about the ethical practices of global corporations. While you may or may not find many of these viewpoints consistent with those that you may personally hold (or perhaps entirely unworthy of any recognition whatsoever) they do provide a basis for thinking about how perceptions of ethical behavior are formed and whether and how they might be changed.

MGMT 6213: Managing Ethics in the Workplace and Market Place
2. After choosing a topic and learning more about the arguments being advanced by the authors,  complete the following written assignment :
1. List and briefly outline five principal ethical issues raised by the authors in the source material. For this assignment, students should find good examples of ethical issues under the broad and overlapping categories of:
o Human rights violations
o Justice and fairness issues
o Environmental and animal rights issues
o Utilitarianism
2. As appropriate, assume you are either a manager of the named global firm (e.g. Coca-Cola) or a firm with strong ties to the issue(s) presented. One day a good trustworthy friend who you met in college and who works outside your firm begins to ask you whether the ethical arguments (from 1 above) might be valid. You value your friendship and would never be dishonest or withhold any publicly available information from her/him. What would you privately say about the validity of each of the five principal ethical arguments to your friend? (Two-three pages).
3. What specific triple bottom line strategies could the firm (or firms) consider adopting to effectively address each of these ethical challenges? (Two-three pages)
