Establishing a culture of
sound business ethics within an organization is challenging, to say the least.
Companies that market products which are not considered to be “healthy” for consumers
have additional challenges. Using the CSU Online Library, research a company
that markets “unhealthy” products. Examples might include tobacco or alcohol
companies, but these examples are not exclusive. Respond to the following
questions.
1. Briefly describe the
company and its product and the ethical dilemma associated with the production
and distribution of its products.
2. Examine how the
perception of the product differs within cultures—both within the United States
and globally.
3. How has this company
handled the ethical implications of its product with a focus on social
responsibility, integrity, and business ethics?
4. Explain how leadership
within the organization can instill a culture of ethics within the marketing
department as they strive to advertise a product that is not healthy for the
customer.
Your response must be a
minimum of two double-spaced pages, not including the title and reference
pages. You are required to use at least one peer-reviewed source. Referenced
sources must have accompanying citations, complying with APA guidelines.
