The next task is to examine the ethical issue, critically analyze it and present your overall group's opinion. Theories and frameworks, which were discussed as part of class are to be related to the case study. Answer the following questions as a guide to writing the project. Describe the company's background? (Make this brief). Identify the issues or problems facing the organization? What course concepts can be applied to understand why this problem is occurring? What recommendations can you offer to help improve organizational functioning?
