Business Ethics Essay

Your next essay will analyze ethical principles related to a specific business or organization. You must choose a company and demonstrate whether that group displays good or poor business ethics. This is a research paper, though I will provide two of the four sources necessary. Follow the steps below:

1) Note Merriam-Webster’s definition of ethics: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ethics

2) Choose a focus. This will be the business or organization that you analyze in your essay. Popular topics have included Wal-Mart, McDonalds, the Miami Heat basketball team, the Federal Reserve, PETA, Starbucks, and many, many others.

3) Your introductory paragraph should include a definition of business ethics and a thesis that introduces your focus and states whether the chosen company displays good or poor business ethics.

4) The subsequent body paragraphs should include four to five specific points and appropriate examples that further your thesis.

5) Use the Caux Round Table’s Principles for Business as one of your sources. You can find this document online at the following website: http://www.cauxroundtable.org/index.cfm?menuid=8

6) In the course of developing your body paragraphs, you must relate at least two of the seven Caux Round Table principles to your focus.

7) In addition to the sources listed above, you must include at least two other sources.

8) Your final draft will be approximately four to five pages in length plus a Works Cited page. It must be formatted according to appropriate essay standards and guidelines.

9) Avoid using first or second person pronouns in your work.

10) Proofread carefully to avoid grammar errors and to make sure all sources are cited fully and properly. You need to use parenthetical in-text citations to give full, proper credit to all sources.

11) As always, let me know if you have any questions.
