The case study analysis should be presented as a professional business analysis. The case study is on Intellectual Property and how its implications in the context of business ethics.

You will need to provide a detailed description of the case context and elaborate on the main issues captured by the case using research from relevant disciplines. In so doing, you should ensure that you identify the key stakeholders impacted by the different events captured in the case scenario along with their differing perspectives. The idea is to unpack the complexity of your selected case before undertaking a detailed ethical analysis.

In undertaking the ethical analysis, you should apply at least three theories of ethics. You might find it useful to reflect on questions such as:

• What is going on?
• What are the facts?
• What are the issues?
• Who is involved?
• What are the ethical issues and implications?
• What can be done about it?
• What options are there?
• Which option is best and why?
• Based on the ethical analysis, you should provide a comprehensive set of recommendations to support effective decision-making. Effective decision-making in relation to ethical issues and dilemmas requires careful consideration of key stakeholders. Thus, in developing your recommendations you should carefully consider the interests of all stakeholdersnoting that stakeholder interests are sometimes conflicting and may not be equal. The analysis should end with a short summary and conclusion.
• It is important that the analysis is based on scholarly research from 2018 onwards. While you may draw on a variety of sources to glean information about the case background (e.g. news articles, documentaries), your analysis of the case should be supported by research published in high-quality peer-reviewed outlets.

Suggested Structure

There is no set structure for the report. You should decide on the inclusion of any headings/sub-sections based on the nature of your case and your research. That said, the report should include the following elements (which may or may not translate to headings of sub-sections):

Introduction

Case Background:

• Provides a "rich picture" (who, what, where, when and why) of the case.
• The case context needs to be clearly explained.
• Shows careful reflection and delivers a detailed description of the key issues, events and stakeholders.

Insights from Extant Research:

• Applies theoretical insights from relevant disciplines to unpack the complexity of the case.
• Demonstrates understanding of the concepts and issues relevant to the selected case in business ethics for a digital society.

Ethical Analysis (Ethical Reasoning):

• Independently and accurately applies multiple ethical theories to a complex case.
• Recognizes a variety of ethical issues, even when issues are presented in a complex multilayered context and fully grasps relationships among the issues. The central issues in the case are identified, clearly explained, and used as basis for ethical evaluation.
• Analyses how different ethical perspectives are relevant. Stakeholders (both direct and indirect) are identified. Perspectives of all critical stakeholders are explained in detail.
• All critical consequences are identified and connected with actors and actions.
• Minor consequences are also considered.
• Relative weights of the various consequences are articulated with rational thought

Recommendations:

• Effective application of multiple ethical theories to support effective decision making.
• Recommendations are specific, actionoriented, aligned to the analysis described, and clearly presented.
