You must submit your essay before registering for the final. Below you will find prompts and instructions for submitting your essay. About this Assignment It is easy to read about a situation in a textbook and play "Monday Morning Quarterback" to critique a manager's approach to a business dilemma.

Good managers will review their actions later and actively consider if a different approach might have resulted in a better outcome. In this assignment, you will summarize an actual real-world ethical decision that a manager had to make during their career. You will also analyze the decision, assess the response, and suggest an alternative course of action. Prompt The student will interview a local business manager, in person. During the interview, the student will uncover an ethical decision situation the manager has faced during their career, and how the manager resolved it along with the manager's rationale for the actions that were taken. In a document of 1500 words, the student will: 1. Summarize the manager's ethical dilemma and how the manager handled/resolved it 2. |[dentify the ethical standard that the manager used to solve the dilemma 3. Identify an alternative ethical standard that the manager could have used, and how the outcome would have differed Related Lessons If you'd like to review Study.com course material fOPA @34 IERHRNY N &34 efer to the folloding lessons: Read more * How Companies Ethically Balance Owner, Stockholder & Stakeholder Interests * Ethical Theories in Business: Applications & Differences * Why Be Moral? - Sociological, Psychological & Theological Reasoning

Company 4 - Arnn Hook TalesCrochet artist Apurva Thampi makes plush toys and collectibles out of yarn. (arnnhooktales.com). Ms Thampi's grandmother tried to introduce her to crochet in her younger days, but she did not take to the craft until late 2018, when she was scrolling through “Pinterest” - the photo-sharing platform popular with crafters and designers - and discovered the Japanese art of amigurumi, which means "crocheted or knitted stuffed doll". She was pregnant with her daughter, who is now three, and she wanted to crochet something for her. The idea of creating stuffed toys from crochet was fascinating. Up to that point, she had a very limited idea of what things could be made using crochet. She began Yarn N Hook Tales in January 2021 after practising on her own projects, watching YouTube videos, and helping other crochet artists refine their amigurumi designs. Rates for her crochet commissions start at $50 and can go up to $140, with each taking an estimated three to four…
