By behaving in accordance with high ethical standards, companies can strengthen the foundation for strategic decision-making. By investigating an ethical incident from either within your own organisation or an incident that has been well publicised, you will develop your skills for discriminating between moral and ethical decision-making.
Reflect on your chosen incident. Additionally, reflect on your own beliefs about the ethical issues associated with both your selected industry and organisation, and with the western capitalist business system more broadly. Consider whether your own beliefs and that of your selected industry and organisation align.
This assessment supports unit learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3.
Your assessment submission should include a cover page.
