Business Ethical Dilemmas

Question

Answered

Choose a case study (excluding the case study used for Assessment Two). Consider what dilemmas are presented by the case study, and how these issues might be informed by the theories examined this semester. For this paper, you will need to choose two of the following theories to apply to the case study: Universal Ethical Egoism Act Utilitarianism Rule Utilitarianism Care Ethics Intuitionism Divine Command Theory Kant’s Duty Ethics Ross’s Prima Facie Duties Nicomacean Virtue Ethics Confucian Role Ethics The following is a guide for completing the written paper: 1. The introduction should identify the case study that you have chosen and the two theories you are going to apply to the case. 2. The first section of the body of the paper should detail the dilemmas presented by the case study. This is where you should provide some ‘facts’ around the case; this may involve discussing legislation, policy, empirical scientific/medical evidence, statistics, research papers etc. This will be the foundation of your ethical analysis. 3. The next section of the paper should analyse how your two theories apply to the case. This will include applying all components of each theory to the case study, the strengths and weaknesses of applying each theory to the case study, and providing consideration of the result of using each theory for all stakeholders impacted by the case study. You can conduct this analysis separately, or juxtapose both theories through the structure of the paper; you have creative license in expressing the analysis. 4. The final section of the paper should attempt to provide a feasible, workable, and ethical solution to the dilemma by synthesising the main arguments. Students will be expected to use at least 6 academic references for this assignment to help inform their views;
