INDIVIDUAL CASE PAPER
The final course requirement asks students to reflect on an ethical challenge that they have identified and address the following questions in an 8-10 page paper. Think of this paper as a case study, informed by what has been learned in this course. The subject of the ethical challenge can be a company in the news, a personal work situation that a student has experienced, or a work situation that another person has shared with the student. However, students may not use a company that has already been discussed in the course. The following should be included in the paper:
1. Background – describe the company/individual(s) that is/are the focus of the paper.
2. Identify and describe the ethical challenge(s) that was/were faced; what were the differing points
of view or choices that were presented? Use and discuss concepts learned in this course to
describe the ethical challenge being discussed?
3. Discuss the leadership, followership and/or culture issues involved in this ethical challenge or that
contributed to this situation becoming an ethical challenge. Use and discuss concepts learned in
this course to describe the leadership, followership and/or culture issues being discussed?
4. How did the ethical challenge get resolved? If not resolved, what are your recommendations for
resolving the ethical challenge?
5. What principles or approaches were discussed in this course that will assist you in assessing
ethical issues and challenges that you may encounter in the future?
6. Plan for the future – How might you utilize the knowledge and skills acquired in this course as an
organizational or team leader in the future?
