 Introduce the paper, providing a briefly explaining the purpose of each section.

is when a person, or group (business) “has the ability to make two choices

and neither of the two choices are optimal.”

(Moral Rights, Justice, Individualism, etc.) and explain how you will apply it to

 Provide at least three to five alternative actions managers might be able to take

to solve the ethical dilemma. Remember to examine “both sides.”

 Consider both the negative and positive implications of each possible alternative.

Explain the potential impact of each alternative course of action you come up

with on each of the key five stakeholder groups:

i. Owners (distinct from stockholders)

ii. Employees (including managers)

iii. Customers

iv. Stockholders (those financially invested in the company)

v. Society at large

4. Evaluation

 Rank the alternatives you have come up with and analyzed, in order of their

impact on stakeholders, from best to worst.

 Explain how your ethical framework(s) selected from chapter 3 of your textbook

interacts with your evaluation.

your ethical theory), recommend a course of action to the company’s leadership.
