Assessment Description It is important to understand that in our everyday lives we need to make ethical decisions. This assignment will allow you to find a current or past company (Enron, Worldcom, Point Blank Industries, Wells Fargo, etc.) that have made financial decisions that are not aligned with societies' ethical norms. This paper will give you an opportunity to utilize the GCU Christian worldview to assess the decisions that were made and how they could have been avoided. Choosing one company to focus on, write a 750-word paper that includes the following. Introduction Identify the company, the ethical issue(s) and the background context on how it developed. Analysis Section Using the GCU Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work, located in the topic Resources, describe how the company acted in an unethical manner. Describe what factors in the company allowed the issue to become an ethical issue. Describe what could have prevented the issue. Explain how, once the behavior was discovered/accepted by the staff, it could be stopped (e.g., how might the company need to rebrand). Explain what consequences the company faced due to their behavior. Although free markets operate on competition and self-interest, ethical lapses (e.g., false advertising, unsafe products) can lead to loss of consumer trust and long-term financial harm. Explain how the decisions made in this case affect the free market. Conclusion Summarize your perception of the case and the outcome. Do you think the consequences were enough, or did they get away with something? Explain your response using research and the topic Resources.
