An ethical audit is important to establish the company’s current weaknesses and strengths concerning how it conducts itself in an ethical manner. An ethics audit will involve evaluating the company’s standard of ethic, it ethic climate, and how well the company’s employees follow ethical standards. One of the first things to evaluate in an ethics audit is if a company has a written code of ethics and how comprehensive it is. Moreover, the written code of ethics should apply to everyone in the company from the top down with a clear zero tolerance policy in place for ethics violations. Included in a comprehensive ethics code should be a method for

Varying situational standards reflect the behaviors and actions of the parties involved. This topic relates directly to respect of anopther country 's customs and social standards. In relation to project management, a project manager should respect the situational standards of another country 's standard ethical behavior and adapt them to their personal ethics. It is in the best interest of the project manager to determine the proper ethical behavior that is required based on the parties involved in the project. This can be a difficult decision in most cases, especially when asked to do something that may be considered unethical in the United States, but ethical in another country. Reading about the varying social ethics and culture of another country may give valuable insight into how to respond to such situations, or respectfully communicating the situation with a manager or stakeholder to alleviate or prevent a possible unethical decision.

For the interview portion of the career paper, I contacted three different attorneys that I know. As I am not quite familiar with any of the three, I sent them formal email requests to interview over the phone or by email. The first of my three prospective interviewees is Garret Murai, the husband of my Girl Scout Troop leader and an experienced construction attorney at Wendel Rosen Black & Dean LLP. The second attorney I chose to contact was my friend’s older sister, Hannah Yang, an attorney at the national law firm Polsinelli. Ms.Yang, who passed her bar exam in 2016, just began working at the firm in November 2016 in the Science and Technology Area. She ultimately declined to participate, but I thanked her for her time anyway.

McCaskey has to make decisions between promotion from successfully completing a project but conflicting her ethics and professional integrity and alienation from losing 20% of the division’s total revenue and future businesses due to failure of completing the project.

By understanding goals, concerns a problems of each stakeholder, we could then conduct analyses of alternative solutions in order to derive recommended solutions for McCaskey.

Although many things about engineering are positive there is a dark side. We depend on them and while engineers are making innovations for us, and maintaining life as the way we know it they also struggle with ethical issues such as plagiarism, confidentiality, and whistleblowing. Just like the list of golden rules we learned as young children, engineers uphold a list of ethical rules to guide them to make the ethically correct decision when one of these situations arise. Bribery the act of receiving or giving a gift with something required in return is another example of an ethical issue that can entice engineers to break the code (“Gifts and Bribes”, 2006). Unfortunately this was the case for a former manager of the Army Corps of Engineers whose greed caused him to break the ethical canons to “avoid deceptive acts”, to “conduct themselves honorably, responsibly, and lawfully as to enhance the honor, reputation, and usefulness of the profession”, and finally to “hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public” (“Code of Ethics”). His misconduct is an example of the unethical decisions some engineers make.

Under the supervision of John Melnyk, Anna Hawkins writes Too Much Information. A case where a group of four students in a third-year business ethics course at a university gets a long and challenging assignment which was worth a substantial portion of the final grade. This assignment put the students in the role of ethical consultants to a group purchasing organization in the healthcare industry that had just come under public scrutiny. Here they need to draft a letter and present it to a board of directors on a later date. Board of directors would be represented by Professor Nash (their instructor) and one or two of his university colleagues or contacts from the business world. Along with this information this case also suggests that one of the group members ‘Jeff’ finds his part of the assignment on the internet. It was clear to other group members that he cannot use this information, as the assignment specified that this was off limits. Erica (one of the group members) is confused how to handle the situation. She comes with her own perspective, objectives and action plan.

From time to time, corporate executives encounter ethical dilemmas that seem rather challenging. In this text, I concern myself with an ethical dilemma faced by the top leadership of Nutritional Foods Inc. In so doing, I will amongst other things explain (in detail) the actions I would take were I to find myself in a similar scenario. I will also explain not only the reasoning behind my actions, but also the results I would be expecting.
