Using the principles discussed in class research examples where an ethical dilemma exists and create a

case study that exemplifies a workplace or societal ethical dilemma.

Your example should be selected from one of the $4$ business sectors:

$1.$ Pharmaceutical and Personal Care

$2.$ Beverages

$3.$ Clothing

$4.$ Food

For example, you may want to review media coverage of a high$-$profile ethical breach such as the

Volkswagen diesel engine scandal.

Your selected example should from within the past $10$ years. $($i$.$e$.$ not older than $2013)$

The key consideration when making your selection is:

Did the key players involved in your selected situation have an ethical choice to make?

$($Remember that people make both ethically justified and ethically unjustified choices including Whistle

blowers who are acting according to their ethical standards and therefore feel justified in exposing what

they consider to be unethical behaviours.$)$

Ensure that the sources you use are reliable, accurate and relevant to your example. All sources must be

cited and referenced.

The three R$$s of research:

Is it Relevant?

Is it Reliable?

Is it Recent?

Your case study should include the following sections $($Headings$)$:

$$ Name and brief description of the organization involved

$$ Introduction which outlines the situation and defines the ethical dilemma

$$ Explanation of the facts and sequence of events $($Time line$)$

$$ A description of the key stakeholders or persons impacted by the outcome of the ethical

dilemma

$$ A synopsis of the outcome and legacy of the situation

$$ What can be learned from this case study for future reference in your personal and professional

life
