Assignment Instructions
In Part I, we will cover the first two steps of case analysis: Ethical Issue Identification and Stakeholder Analysis.
To help understand this process, print and read the file titled “A Domestic Garment Company – Sample Case and Answer PDF File.”
This is a sample case that I use to help you understand the case analysis process.
The opening case you will be analyzing in this course is the file titled “Opening Case PDF File.” You will format your answers in the Opening Case Part I assignment as explained below.
Step 1: Ethical Issues
Use one paragraph to tell me what your ethical issue is and why? If you have more than one ethical issue, write and explain each issue in a separate paragraph?
In the first sentence of your paragraph, simply tell me what the ethical problem/issue was in this case without explaining why?
(Instructors Note: To help better understand this process, you will only do one ethical issue in the Opening Case Part I assignment. That issue is the following: “The ethical issue in this case is whether to follow the narrow view or broader view of corporate social responsibility.”)
In the next sentences of your paragraph, describe the ethical issue using information from your book, outlines, and/or lectures? Also state the chapter from your book that supports your answer? (Note: Ethical issues in the cases you do in this class will come from Chapters 5 – 10.)
In the next sentences of your paragraph, use facts from the case to support your answer?
In the final sentence of your paragraph, use a concluding sentence to wrap everything up?
CAUTION: Do not make any decisions at this time. You are simply identifying and explaining the ethical issue(s) facing you as the decision-maker at this point. In addition, do not discuss ethical issues facing others in the case—again, I am only concerned with whether you can identify the issues facing you as the decision-maker.
Step 2: Stakeholder Analysis
Starting with the decision-maker (you), identify and list in sentence form ALL your stakes in the decision to be made. Stakes are what you hope to gain, fear losing, or want given the situation and the decision or decisions you must eventually make. THEY ARE NOT DECISIONS.
Identify the other key stakeholders as specifically as possible and then identify and list in sentence form NO MORE THAN TWO important stakes facing each key stakeholder. Key stakeholders are individuals or groups that are essential to solving the ethical issue(s) identified in Step 1 above. (Instructor’s Hint: They are usually, but not always, mentioned in the case so use that as a starting point.)
Explain each stake for each stakeholder in a separate sentence and make sure you use complete, grammatically correct sentences.
SEQUENTIALLY NUMBER YOUR STAKES (see the sample case and answers).
