[Title of your case study project]

1. Introduction

[Describe the ethical dilemma, identifying the individual and company involved.]

2. Ethical considerations

[Briefly introduce the ethical considerations you discuss in the subsections below.]

2.1 Obligations

[Describe relevant obligations (i.e., specific duties or moral responsibilities the individual may have in this circumstance. What rules is this individual obliged to follow in this case? How might this person be expected to behave by coworkers or society at large?]

2.2 Effects

[Identify all the interested parties and describe how they would be affected by the different courses of action available to this individual. Who is likely to benefit from a particular choice made by the individual in this case? Who is likely to be harmed? Make sure to weigh the effects of different courses of actions.]

2.3 Ideals

[Describe relevant ideals valued by the company (e.g., efficiency, product quality, customer service) or society at large (e.g., generosity, courage, compassion, loyalty, peace, justice, equality). What are these ideals all about? Why are they important? How might they translate into specific action in this case?]

3. Moral judgment

[Describe what you think the individual should do (or should have done) in this case. Make sure that your argument is logical and takes into account the considerations outlined in the previous section. Explain any trade-offs that you had to make between conflicting considerations.]

4. Reflection

[Conclude the report by reflecting back upon the dilemma you identified. What lessons can we learn from this case? When faced with ethical challenges at work, we have to figure out what to say, who to say it to, and how to say it. What advice would you have for someone in a situation like the one you identified?]
