For this assignment, you are expected to select a public company that has been impacted by issues of ethical business decisions and prepare an analytical report in which you will critically evaluate, analyze, discuss, and comment on the key ethical and/or legal issues and concepts highlighted by this case.

The report should be in word or pdf format. It will refer to scholarly research and explicitly address the following and should not materially exceed 2,000 words, excluding bibliography/references, appendices, and tables.

Your report must attempt:

An analysis of the industry and the position of your company in that industry. You are NOT required to undertake an in-depth financial analysis but must show an understanding of the business environment and relevant metrics to situate your company in the industry.

A critical appraisal of the background of the ethical issues/dilemma, clearly outlines and shows an understanding of the key decision(s) made or action(s) taken and demonstrates how the decision(s) or action(s) impacted the companys fortunes.

Finally, your report must attempt to make a recommendation of alternate legal and ethical decision(s) or action(s) supported by your earlier analysis and suitable for your company. You should close with a reasoned conclusion and summary.
