Scenario: You are an ethnographic researcher writing an article for a
popular organizational behavior research journal. Your purpose is to
identify key problems related to business ethics in a Not-for-Profit and
For- Profit organization. In this potential article please complete the
following activities: Outline the company profile of the not for profit
company you chose to analyze (consult the week #2 journal for the
information you should include). Explain the ethical dilemma that it
faced or is currently facing. Analyze the way that it responded to this
ethical dilemma and outline the legal, social, or political outcomes
that emerged after the actions were taken.. Outline the company profile
of the for profit company you chose to analyze (consult the week #2
journal for the information you should include). Explain the ethical
dilemma that it faced or is currently facing. Analyze the way that it
responded to this ethical dilemma and outline the legal, social, or
political outcomes that emerged after the actions were taken. In part
three of your paper, please provide your personal reflections on the
ethical actions that were taken in relation to the problem. Evaluate
those actions from your own ethical standpoint. Use these questions to
inspire your analysis: Did the company respond in a morally responsible
way? Did the company respond in a morally irresponsible way? Did the
company create the ethical dilemma or was the dilemma the outcome of an
unforeseen force? Could the company have done more? Who was responsible
for the problem and how could it have been prevented? Remember that when
you analyze something you should present logical reasoning and factual
evidence to support your position. Do not merely answer these questions
using simplistic yes and no answers. Instead, you should always support
your position with logical argumentation and evidence that explains why
you believe what you believe. In part 4 of your paper please create a
critique of the actions of these companies based on two of the
philosophical theories that you studied earlier in the course
(deontology, utilitarianism, egoism, virtue ethics, moral relativism).
Determine which moral theory the company appears to be abiding by in
relation to this issue. Explain the attributes of the decision that make
you believe that this is the ethical perspective of the company. If you
agree with the ethical theory of the company, explain why this is the
best ethical position on the issue. If you do not, explain which ethical
position would be better to utilize in this situation and why you
believe that this position is better. Here are some sample questions to
guide your thinking: Which ethical theory did the company use in making
its decision? Was it the best? Why or why not? Which ethical theory
should the company have used? Why? What is the ideal relationship
between bad or suffering and profit? What does it mean to run an ethical
business? What is the best way for a company to maintain its
competitive edge and contribute to overall good or happiness in relation
to its workers and customers? Logistics and Length Requirements Your
