Financial Statement Analysis and Report Writing

profiletiger1

An ethical dilemma is a situation in which a person must decide whether an action, although it may benefit the organization, individual, or both, may be considered unethical. A common test for ethical situations is called the TV or newspaper test. This test requires the stakeholder to ask, "Would I feel comfortable explaining the action taken to a newspaper or TV audience?"

Describe in detail an ethical dilemma in business that you or a coworker experienced and how it was resolved.

Besides the TV test, do you know of other tests for ethical decision making? Do you think the parties in your example applied any other tests? Explain.

In your own words, post a substantive response to the Discussion Board question(s) and comment on other postings. Your response should address the DB question(s) and move the conversation forward. You will be graded on the quality of your postings, including mastery of the concept as well as critical thinking. If asked for your opinion, do not simply state that it is a good or bad idea; elaborate on your reasons and argument. Include enough detail to substantiate your thinking as well as your position on the questions or comments.

Background on Course Research Requirements

In the business world, it is important to use research to strengthen points that you make in your presentations and projects. You will see references to using specific databases throughout this course. Research is a crucial skill, and learning to use the search functions in these databases is about critical thinking, which complements other research techniques that you have used prior to the class.

There are two main types of databases accessible in the library, through “Find articles and Books.” Keep in mind that the most popular databases are ABI Inform Global, Academic Search Premier, and Business Source Premier. As a graduate student, you must move away from utilizing inferior Web sites with anonymous writers, articles found on consultant Web sites, and materials on sites like QuickMBA.com or MarketingProfs.com. Also, dictionaries and encyclopedias most often repeat the information from your text. Acceptable Internet resources include, among others, government sites (especially for statistics). You are not permitted to use Wikipedia or any open-source Web site for this course.
