2.2 – Discussion: Making Ethical Decisions

Thinking ethically is required to make an ethical decision. Ethics is not just about imagining a better situation or a better version of yourself. Rather it is about acting and finding sustainable ways to make decisions. For this discussion, review A Framework for Ethical Decision Making (Santa Clara University).Links to an external site. Read through the document, paying close attention to the framework and lenses offered. Then read through the ethical standards.

This is not an exhaustive list of ethics nor is there a singular business definition of ethics. This is a starting point for applying ethics in the workplace.

Reflect on the framework and the short guide offered.

Does it make sense?
Are the items listed as standards accurate?
How about the areas that are NOT ethics, do they make sense?
Can you think of a time when you experienced a situation that one of these content areas was considered ethical?

DISCUSSION ESSAY

1. You have just been hired by Yummy Juicy, a national corporation that sells organic juices at most major retail stores. You have been hired as the West Coast Distribution Manager. After about five weeks on the job, you get the following email:

Sir/Ma’am,
You are hurting this company. You have continued to try to force all of us to change our ways and follow procedures that are no good. I am not sure why you got the job. You trained us on the new procedures, which wasted hours of our time. Don’t bother to reply to this email, I know nothing will change.
R/
Bob (disgruntled employee)

________________________________________

2. Complete the following:

a. Develop an email response. Use the three-step process for being assertive. Bob is one of your first-line supervisors and has been with the company for 20 years. Mary, another supervisor tells you that Bob is just trying to bully you and that most other supervisors love the new processes. (I realize many of you would call Bob into your office, but for this assignment, you must generate the email).
b. Do you find it difficult to be assertive in your own life (personal and professional)? Why or why not?
c. What are the risks of being assertive with Bob? Make sure you utilize common course terminology when explaining the risks.
3. Mary comes to you later in the day and says, “Boss, Bob is trying to negotiate with you, he has a target in mind, and is not flexible, so his limit is not much different than his target.” Explain what Mary is talking about (explain, in your OWN words, the concepts of targets and limits during negotiations).

1. First Peer Reply: What specifically won’t work in your peer’s email to Bob? Make a recommendation on how to reword (or use another approach).

2. Second/Third Peer Reply: Become Bob, negotiate with “boss (your peer),” and make them see your point of view. Utilize course material in your reply. The reply should be formatted as an email (don’t actually send email).

Module 1: Video Case Study

Read information and Watch the 3 videos below. As you watch the videos, consider the impact of “big data” on the environment and the responsibility of large online businesses to be socially responsible in terms of controlling both pollution and global warming. Using what you’ve learned, do the following:

A. Craft an argument identifying the 2 best techniques employed (by any of the 3 companies) to enhance environmental responsibility. The 2 best techniques do not have to be from the same company.

B. Additionally, identify the technique from the case study narrative or videos that you believe to be the LEAST effective in having a positive impact on the environment and explain why.

C. Identify the company (of the 3 in this case study) that you believe to be most environmentally responsible and briefly explain why.

Be sure to support your positions (in parts A & B) with at least 2 external sources – these sources can be used to support either your “best techniques” argument or your “least effective” argument, but the textbook is not considered an external source.
