BUS 4901 Business Professionalism Ethical Issue Paper
Specifically, your assignment is to:
1. Identify an ethical issue/dilemma within the past 10 years within the business environment which has not been totally remedied, or where the remedy was not made public (start here: www.scu.edu).
This ethical issue/dilemma can be either:
• an overarching dilemma that multiple organizations deal with
(this option must also identify 2 organizations to compare and contrast the manner in which each organization solves/does not solve it)
• a specific dilemma that one specific organization deals with
2. Identify the Key Problem(s):
a. Take care to seek out root causes for the problem – why does the company find itself in
this situation – instead of jumping at a more superficial, but maybe obvious choice – how
did this information get out?
b. Use evidence from your research to support your articulation of the problem(s).
3. Solutions:
a. Discuss the specific and detailed solutions you are confident wouldspecifically address the key problem(s) from #2.
b. There should be at least one realistic course(s) of action you would suggest
to allow the organization to resolve its key problem(s). All of these should be specific
and detailed suggestions which could actually work, and have a reasonable chance of
succeeding because it is possible for you to defend them as both reasonable and plausible
– using information and facts from your research.
c. There is nothing “off-limits” here…Recommendations can range from minor changes, significantchanges, or radical changes if one were to think about the recommendations
All are good, if they are likely to overcome the key problem(s) you identified in #2.
Do NOT offer the following:
i. Vague solutions – such as indicating the company should hire an image
consultant resolve their issues.
ii. Solutions that do not address the key problem(s) – such a suggesting the
company should increase advertising when it is poor organizational controls
which is a key problem.
iii. To AVOID these problems, think of yourself as the consultant hired to help get this company moving in the right direction again.
Some Common Mistakes to Avoid:
• Too much time is spent reiterating facts instead of using them to support your articulation
of the key problem(s).
• Key problem(s) are omitted from #2 which sets the rest of the analysis on a difficult and
often wrong course.
• Solutions do not address the issue identified in #2.
• Solutions are completely unrealistic, vague, non-specific and counter-logical
You must use APA formatting and the page length must be no less than 5 written pages. You must also have a written title page AND a Reference List with peer reviewed sources preferred. Your analysis be polished, professional, and worthy of an upper-division accredited collegiate course. Incomplete or late work will result in no credit being earned for the assignment, thus the course.
