Ethical failures in companies

 

Your assignment is to research current (within the last 60
days) news articles and choose ONE company that has been involved in a recent ethical failure. Examples of
ethical failure may be a misrepresentation to consumers regarding a product or service OR ethical issues
arising from the behavior of company officers or employees. Please state the name of the news source and
attach a link to the article.
Answer the following in 300 words or less (double spaced, 12 point type not including the title of the news
story, the source, date and the link:
1. Please describe the ethical failures and discuss how the company could have handled the situation in a
more ethical way. Your paper should contain your analysis and your original thoughts as to how the company
could have done better in dealing with their ethical issue.
In your analysis, you should refer to at least one specific ethical framework described in our class discussions,
in the textbook, or in this article on ways to prevent ethical failure:

2. If you had read this story before starting this class, would your analysis and reaction to the news story have
been different? Explain how this class may have changed your perspective.
3. Where is the court that is involved (if one is involved) physically located and what type of court is it (trial,
state, federal, appellate?) Describe what will happen in that court relative to what you have learned in class.
Will there be a start to litigation, discovery, a trial, an appeal for example? Can you tell from the news story?
