Today, and because of limited resources, the focus is on data-driven decisions. Examples of such decisions include mergers and acquisitions, changing employees' work schedules, hiring and firing of employees, promotions, and the expansion/reduction of business operations. Think about the last time that you or your manager had to make a decision that impacted different stakeholders within the organization. This decision was of an ethical nature and the final decision will be viewed by some as unfair. To help you formulate your response, please consider the following:

• Was the final decision fair and equitable?
• Were there any obvious biases in the final decision?
• What factors were considered in the decision-making process?
• What could you or the decision maker have done to improve the outcome of the decision?
• How was the decision communicated?
• Were there multiple involved in the decision-making process? If yes, which stakeholders?
