INTRODUCTION

In a complex, multicultural business environment, it is important that

business professionals adhere to ethical standards throughout their daily

activities. The goal of this course is to introduce you to concepts and

guidelines for ethical courses of actions in business. In order to assess

your understanding of the material and your ability to apply the required

concepts, you will be asked to take on the role of the ethics director for the

company in the scenario. You will be asked to design an ethics curriculum

for new employees to address the rights and responsibilities of employees

and the ethical relationship between employer and employee. You will also

be tasked with developing an ethical dilemma for analysis, offering ethical

decisions for evaluation, and examining the role of personal values and

goals in the workplace.

SCENARIO

You are the ethics officer of a marketing firm. The company prides itself on

only engaging in ethical business practices. In order to ensure that all of its

employees understand corporate ethical policy, new employees must

attend an ethics training as part of the onboarding process. Additionally,

every employee must attend an annual ethics training. These ethical

training programs are developed by the marketing firm’s ethics officer

(you), the marketing firm’s human resources (HR) director, and an outside

consulting firm.

In a joint development session, the team works through the training

development materials that will be presented at this year’s two-day ethics

training session. This year, the focus is on two primary topics: employees’

rights and responsibilities in the workplace and employer’s ethical

responsibilities toward employees. In addition, hypothetical ethical

scenarios are developed to evaluate the employees’ understanding of

company ethical standards, general ethical decision-making, and desired

courses of action.

REQUIREMENTS

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined

total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one

individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from

sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you

submit your task that can be used as a guide.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it

provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each

requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The

rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the

course.

A.  Take on the role of the ethics officer in the scenario and address the

following:

1.  Describe three rights and responsibilities of employees based on the

scenario.

2.  Evaluate two ethical responsibilities of the employer within the context

of the employer/employee relationship described in the scenario.

3.  Develop one ethical business dilemma that can be used to

demonstrate employee understanding of the company’s ethical

standards.

4.  Evaluate the dilemma from part A3 from a utilitarian and relativistic

perspective.

5.  Describe two common ethical decisions that reflect corporate ethics

and responsibilities that employees can face while working in a

corporate setting.

Note: These should be different from the ethical business dilemma in

part A3.

6.  Explain why each  ethical decision in part A5 presents an ethical

dilemma and how an individual might justify unethical behavior (e.g.,

common excuses).

B.  Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content

that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

C.  Demonstrate professional communication in the content and

presentation of your submission.
