Overview
Our study of ethics in business can sometimes seem esoteric and removed from
day-to-day management responsibilities, but media are filled with real-life
examples of unethical business behavior that harms the businesses involved, as
well as their shareholders, customers, employees, and other stakeholders. This
paper assignment asks you to find such an example, examine what went wrong, and
apply the materials we’ve been reading to develop preventions and solutions.
Take an in-depth look at the situation through the lens of secular legal and
ethical principles but also through the lens of a Biblical worldview.
