For the case study, students are asked to analyze Alcoa's ethical work climate based on criteria from the textbook, discuss the role of top management commitment in developing the climate, and identify other ethical safeguards mentioned. The first discussion question asks students to argue whether there is a connection between ethical leadership and a person's beliefs/values, providing specific examples. The second discussion question requires students to critically analyze how globalization brings both benefits and costs to businesses, using a specific global company as an example and citing sources.
