TOPIC SELECTION

0:01  Hello everyone and welcome to video number two for managerial ethics. This week we're talking about the paper topic ...

0:08  selection this week and this was previewed in week 1 with some written information for you. The reason we ...

0:16  have it previewed in week 1 is that we wanted to give you time to reflect and think about some ...

0:22  unethical things that are happening in your workplace or some things where you can improve policy or procedure to make ...

0:30  something more ethical in your workplace. Whatever you choose for a paper topic needs to be specifically related to ...

0:38  your workplace; please do not choose World Cup soccer unless you happen to work for the International Federation of soccer ...

0:46  or something like that (I'm not a soccer person but I think you get my gist). Your paper needs to ...

0:53  be specifically related to your work place because you are going to be talking about your role in implementing the ...

1:00  new policies or procedures that you recommend based on your analysis and research.

1:08  Some examples right here that you can see in the assignment instructions are actually too broad for the paper topic; ...

1:15  they're meant to help you brainstorm. For example if you wanted to talk about social media and the workplace ...

1:21  a specific paper topic might be that you are looking at.

1:26  Creating policy or procedure for the use of social media in the hiring process of a new candidate for your ...

1:33  particular Department. That is something very narrow very specific; It addresses a problem that not only has legal ...

1:40  implications but also ethical implications within your workplace as well and probably something that does need to be addressed if ...

1:48  you don't have those policies and procedures in place.

1:53  So as you're looking at this information do you know that I'm not asking you to divulge a secret information ...

2:01  from your particular workplace you can certainly hide the name of your co-workers and your

2:09  Employer and I would actually suggest that you do so when you're submitting your paper topic for this assignment and ...

2:17  when you submit your final paper. Do know that

2:21  I look for this to be something that you can present in your workplace, and hopefully make some lasting positive ...

2:28  change and maybe it'll help you earn that next promotion at work. If you do have any questions or ...

2:35  concerns about this please go ahead and reach out to me. I do read these paper topics selection very very ...

2:41  closely as I do all assignments but I offer a lot of

2:46  Feedback on this that is not always happy feedback. If I ask you to revise your paper topic it ...

2:52  is asked in the sense that I want it revised so that you can be successful in submitting of final ...

2:59  research paper based on the rubric. I've taught this class for a number of years and I generally know ...

3:06  what paper topics tend to work best and which ones have problems and I'm trying to help everybody avoid those ...

3:13  problematic papers so that you can be successful.

3:18  All right if you have any questions again reach out to me and enjoy your week.
