different ethical approach. Consider the options presented in Chapter 2 once again, and choose an approach which you did not explore in the Unit 3 assignment. Then, write a paper that responds to the following questions:
State the ethical approach you selected. Explain why. Imagine someone had worked to resolve the ethical issue (the same one you discussed in the Unit 3 assignment), this time using the approach you have just described. What would be involved in using this approach? Compare this to what you described in the Unit 3 assignment. What might have happened differently if a person used this approach? Explain how this alternate approach might have been beneficial. To whom? In what ways might it have caused problems?
Support your choices with cited concepts from course readings.

COURSE PROJECT
Course Project Overview
The study of ethics becomes a purely academic exercise unless one can apply what is learned to professional life. This project will help you make this type of application.
To complete the project, you will:
Identify that an issue in a company has potential ethical ramifications that you would like to see resolved by a corporate policy. Demonstrate why the issue is relevant and needs to be addressed. Examine the issue from all sides and from the perspective of all stakeholders. Evaluate different ethical decisionmaking models covered in the course. You will be asked to choose one model and apply it to the issue you identified. Recommend a corporate policy that the company can implement to addresses the chosen issue.
Ultimately, corporations are formed to make money. So, in your course project, you will balance the need to practice corporate social responsibility with the corporation's prime directive of increasing profits. Specifically, your project will weigh the impact of not having a corporate policy for the issue you have chosen against the cost of implementing one.
At the culmination of the project, you will recommend a policy that addresses the ethical issue chosen and that can be implemented by a company. The policy needs to be specific and address all stakeholders, as well as include provisions for monitoring the effectiveness of the policy, for dealing with employees who fail to comply, and for adapting the policy if it needs changing in the future. In recommending the policy, you will be expected to argue for your policy with well reasoned analysis and specific examples. You are expected to synthesize much of the work done for the assignments in Units 2 and 7 into a cohesive proposal, supporting the need for your policy.
Project Objectives To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to:
1. Assess the degree of social responsibility in a corporate policy. 2. Develop a corporate policy for resolving ethical dilemmas. 3. Evaluate the parameters of ethical decisionmaking models as they apply to the recommended policy. 4. Support recommendations with wellreasoned analysis and specific examples. 5. Recommend a strategy for communicating the policy to the organization in a manner that meets the needs of the audience.
6. Describe potential limitations of the policy and strategies for monitoring and compliance. 7. Communicate your ideas in a style suitable to academic readers.

[u02a1] Unit 2 Assignment 1
Company Issue Identification This is the first component of your course project.
Identify an Ethical Issue In the Unit 1 assignment, you were asked to discuss your personal ethical views. In this assignment, you should consider what a companywide ethical dilemma looks like.
You will first need to identify a current or potential ethical dilemma at a real company. This could be a company where you are now employed, your former employer, a friend's company, or another company with which you are familiar. The issue should also be something that needs to be addressed with an organizational policy inside the company. In other words, you believe that a policy change would be better than other courses of action (such as disciplinary action toward an individual employee, or external action by the government or a nonprofit). You do not have to create a policy at this time, but be prepared to explain why implementing a policy would be the right choice. Note: The issue you select for this assignment will be used in the Unit 7 assignment and your final project in Unit 10.
For example, a company may choose to videotape the office and read employee emails. The

conflict here may be that employees feel these practices are a violation of privacy and feel they have a right to a certain level of the privacy. However, stakeholders defend these practices because their concerns are whether the employees are getting their work done.
Assignment Instructions Identify the ethical issue. Using best practices for academic writing, write an essay that covers all of the following:
Explain why you chose this particular issue and why you believe it is important. Describe other stakeholders for this ethical issue, and what concerns they are likely to have. Explain why you believe that an organizational policy is the right way to resolve the issue. Describe how this particular issue might be related to larger problems that affect your community, the country, or the world. Is the issue currently in the media spotlight? Are there any recent incidents or reasons why this issue has come to the public's attention?
Support your choices with cited concepts from reliable professional sources.

Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility Policy This is the second component of your course project. In this assignment, you will return to the companywide dilemma that you wrote about in the Unit 2 assignment. Please note that you will incorporate this paper into your final project, due in Unit 10.
For this assignment, consider how a company's social responsibility can affect the workplace, stakeholders, clients, and other outside parties.
In your paper, complete the following:
Explain in general terms how a company's social responsibility policy can complement its obligation to maximize profits for shareholders. Where might these goals conflict?

Explain how you think the ethical issue itself might be affecting employees, considering the specific company dilemma you discussed in the Unit 2 assignment. How about shareholders? Clients? Outside parties? State the approaches to ethical decision making (as discussed in Chapter 2 of your text) you would recommend for creating a policy to solve the issue. Explain. Write an overview of a company policy that could be created, based on this decisionmaking approach, to address the ethical dilemma. Explain the effects your policy might have on employees, if the company actually used the policy you just described. What would be the effects on shareholders? On clients? On other outside parties? Please consider both the potential positive and negative outcomes.

[u10a1] Unit 10 Assignment 1
Addressing an Ethical Issue For this final project, imagine that the CEO has asked human resources department to review the company's policies. You have been personally asked to identify an issue you feel needs addressing, to evaluate different parameters for ethically deciding on how to address the issue, and then to evaluate various polices and propose a policy that the company can implement to addresses the chosen issue.
In your paper:
Describe an ethical dilemma and its importance and relevance. Identify the various stakeholders and their positions. Evaluate an ethical decisionmaking model, apply it to the chosen issue, and analyze options for resolving this ethical dilemma. Recommend a corporate policy for resolving the issue and support the recommendation with well reasoned analysis and specific examples, including the impact on various stakeholders.
