MGT project

II. Project – Ethics Group: The ethics group project involves a presentation, to be made to the class, of an ethical dilemma that has confronted business. Cases are to be drawn from past or current events and may involve events that occurred within or outside US borders. Examples include Enron, the VW emissions scandal, etc. Presentation topics must be approved by me in advance. Early in the semester, your group will be asked to submit a list of three cases that interest you. I will try to honor preferences to the extent possible. Presentation dates will be assigned at random.

Your presentations must address ALL of the issues listed below.

1. What happened?

2. Were criminal charges brought? If so, what were the charges? Was anyone convicted?

3. Were the parties involved sued civilly? If not, are such suits likely in the future? What theories were or would be used to enable persons who suffered damages as a result of the conduct involved in the case to recover?

4. Did the participants in the case follow good business practices? In other words, did they make money? Does the business organization still exist?

5. Using the models discussed in class, was the situation resolved in a way that was consistent with good business ethics?
