Read Decision Point: What
Would You Do?
Choose one of the following
companies (or any company that has been in the press) and write a 2-3 page, APA
style critical analysis of the ethical issues involved in the case.
Legal Cases:
·
Tyco

Global Crossing
·
WorldCom
·
Adelphia
·
NYSE and Richard Grasso
·
Merrill Lynch
·
Health South
·
Marsh and McLennan
·
Al Dunlap and Sunbeam
The analysis should include
the following:
·
A short description of case
·
identification of the ethical
issues involved (what was the alleged ethical wrong done, and why is/was it
wrong?)
·
A statement, in their own
opinion, of whether it was wrong or not, and more importantly, why?
·
Thoughts on what could have
been done to avoid the problem – do we need more laws & government
regulation? What internal controls might have prevented this situation?
·
Was the problem more a matter
of individuals gone wrong, or was it more systemic and organizational?
Provide 3-5 APA style
references both inline and at the end of the paper to support your analysis.
Please write in 3rd person. Note: This is your opportunity to demonstrate your
knowledge of the week’s theory linked to personal opinion and outside evidence.
