NEED YOUR HELP!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

The Case of the Misbegotten Memo You are the CIO for G-BioSport, a biotech company specializing in sports medicine. Your company is conducting research on a European competitor, FR Pharmaceuticals, and has hired a market research firm, Veracite, to dig up information. Veracite comes back with a bombshell: a confidential email from Annette, an FRP employee, that indicates FRP may be covering up harmful side effects of their new drug. You've been called in as part of a leadership meeting to weigh in on the ethics of using the memo, given that you're fairly certain it was obtained through illegal hacking. As you come to the end of the process, you've made the following decision: In order to create the greatest good for the largest stakeholder group-the public-consult with your friend Norman in the FDA on the best means of proceeding. He is best positioned to find a win-win solution that ensures public safety. You'll also meet your goal of keeping G-BioSport safe from repercussions. The option you chose was limited to one of the six on the list I provided. Now, however, you have the opportunity to communicate a decision to reflect what you believe is the most ethical course of action. Feel free to change any or all of the conditions to create the option you believe works best. I've laid out for you a method for organizing your thoughts. This format could easily be used as the basis for an email or an inter-office memo, but its primary purpose is to organize the reasons behind your action and to defend your decision. While each section of the memo has a word count limit, a concise memo will often be much shorter. I recommend aiming for roughly one-half of the maximum, but you can always write more if necessary. The goal is to use the norms of both ethical perspectives to write a memo that is technically sound and coherent as well as persuasive and inspiring. If you want to know more about the criteria for a good communication, check the Memo Structure page under Game Information on the left menu bar. Audience Choose a stakeholder or stakeholder group to receive the explanation of your decision. If you believe the decision should not be made public, then write a memo to the file or to yourself.
