 Managers are often faced with the need to make ethical decisions,

Managers are often faced with the need to make ethical decisions, affecting their organizations and both internal and exteer stakeholders. Assume you are a manager working in a large Australian pharmaceutical corporation. Your team has just developed a completely new experimental vaccine that you believe can treat a deadly virus rapidly spreading in West Africa. So far tests using your experimental vaccine on chimpanzees infected with this virus have yielded positive results. Your experimental vaccine has not been tested on humans and the Australian health authorities say it will take 10 years of human trials before your new vaccine can be approved for human use as the side-effects of this new vaccine on humans are currently unknown. You have just received a request from a health worker in Africa who wants to use your experimental vaccine to treat tens of thousands of West Africans infected with the virus. In this unit we have discussed three ethical decision making models. Please discuss these three ethical decision making models. Choose one of the three ethical decision making models to explain your decision on whether or not to share the experimental vaccine with the health worker in West Africa
