Appendix A Case Study Assessment Criteria TOPIC: Business and The Integrity of Science. For your Business Ethics course you will review, assess and report the ethical dilemma in a real business situation. The integrity of the scientific method and the sciences reputation are the ethical focus of this Case Study. Business in many ways is a significant contributor to science. Businesses need scientific data, results and recommendation to produce and market services and products. An obvious example is the pharmaceutical industry. The research, design and production of drugs are highly regulated. There is also a lot of money involved in this part of medicine. Drugs can be helpful and harmful at the same time. Therefore, there is an opportunity for many ethical conflicts to arise in the pharmaceutical industry. Case study two (2) requires you to research the threat to scientific integrity by business people. Research how far corruption has infiltrated the science of the pharmaceutical industry. Look for bribes or other forms of coercion to have scientific results say what the money interest want it to say. This case study is about the possible and plausible ethical dilemmas that arise during the development and marketing and sale of prescription drugs. Part of this course requirement is to become more sensitive and observant of the grey area circumstances and situations that converge for an ethical dilemma. The following assessment criteria shall be used for the class. More importantly this ABC 3 step critical thinking process may help you throughout your career. 1. A> What were the factual antecedents that preceded an ethical resolution, crisis, accident, crime or poor judgment that made the ethical dilemma transparent to those outside the specific enterprise? 2. B>What behaviors do you consider to be unethical and WHY? The why part of this assessment requires a guess or opinion regarding individuals’ motivation. Often a behavior is based on a strongly held value. For example, wanting more and more money is not only greedy but often motivated by pride or arrogance. Consider vices, virtues and values while elaborating on WHY. In this section you should suggest motivation for interfering with science. Corruption is about money, power and influence. Making money is not corrupt. Making money and endangering others lives is corrupt and unethical. (The answers to this question should include the largest amount of words for your case study. Ethics is mostly about why we behave rightly or wrongly. Remember that relative ethics would say more rightly or more wrongly. Make this section at least HALF of your entire paper). If there is corruption then you should also be able to comment intelligently about fairness and justice. Note that section 3 of the rubric awards points for using words used for ethical thinking and assessment. Also, you should not just pepper your paper with ethical words. Many sentences in CS1 ba.

Instructions, Examples, Specifications, and Grading
This section requires you to review your upper-level course work 3000-level and above. Think about what classes you took and what accomplished in them. The successful Curriculum section is about showing rather than just telling. This is your time to show off your best work, focusing on particular skills. For example, pick an assignment (project or paper) where you did a particularly strong job. Fully describe your work. Prove that you can do what you say you can do. This involves making the important distinction AWAY from just a list of your courses and what you did in them—to who you are as a professional and a creative problem solver.
As you list and discuss your advanced course work, you’ll give your readers a glimpse into (1) what you know, as well as what skills you have developed (2) how you have met (or can meet) challenges, (3) how you can help others.
EXAMPLES

In my American Government Class, I was assigned to analyze an issue within an area of environmental policy and propose a solution. This project required research and writing skills, policy analysis, and critical thinking. I chose to write about the environmental policies and problems associated with the practice of industrial agriculture. This particular area of environmental policy is one that I continue to independently research, and I am passionate about educating others on the existence of this problem. In my appendix, I have uploaded my Environmental Policy paper “Industrial Farms and Florida’s Algae Crisis: Myths and Facts We All Need to Understand.” In that paper, my research helped me to explain how some of the information about algae blooms is hype and hysteria, but other information matters a lot, if we are going to have government policies and regulations that protect drinking water and tourism. Outside of class, I have written two letters to the editor about this issue. I sent one letter to the Miami Herald (It wasn’t published but I think I raised important points) and I sent another letter to The Beacon, FIU’s student-run newspaper. That editorial letter was published in June 2019. Copies of both letters are in the appendix to this report.
In my Environmental Engineering class, one main assignment had us analyze how climate change affects a topic of my choice, then write and send a letter to a politician about my findings and make educated policy recommendations. I chose to research how climate change effects cities and the strategies that are being used now to develop climate-friendly cities. I wrote my letter to the governor of Florida. For the purposes of this report, I have attached my annotated bibliography for the assignment to showcase the research that went into the letter. I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment, and it is one of the reasons that I got interested in incorporating sustainability in my future career path.

An explanation of the Doing Ethics Technique
Graham R Seach
Simpson, C. R., Nevile, L., & Burmeister, O. K. (2003). Doing ethics: A universal technique in an
accessibility context. Australian Journal of Information Systems, 10(2), 127-133.
The 'Doing Ethics' technique (DET) is a process for analysing ethical issues in any scenario. It doesn't
guarantee that what you come up with will be the best solution, but it does help you to think
ethically. That said, I understand that the technique may seem a little vague and perhaps lacking
guidance. To that end, the following might help you to understand how to apply the technique in
order to better understand ethical analysis.
To gain the most from the technique, you must explore and answer all eight questions in the order
in which they are posed. Each question stands alone and you cannot take the view that because you
have given information in response to one question that you can omit the same information from
subsequent questions.
Q1. What's going on?
This is a synopsis of what the case is all about. It is written in your own words, and can be taken from
a variety of perspectives, for example, from the perspective of a person raising a complaint, in which
case, it is a synopsis of the complaint. It can be taken from the perspective of an uninvolved
observer, in which case, it is an outline of what was observed, without going into too much detail.
Where you see multiple perspectives, you should describe them here. This question should target a
reader who has no knowledge of the case at hand, and is a brief outline of the case.
Q2. What are the facts?
This is a descriptive list of all the facts of the case. It doesn't just describe the case, but lists all the
facts as they are known (from all sources and perspectives), and also what one might reasonably
consider to be possibilities. For example, if a person was raising a complaint, Question 1 would
outline their complaint, and Question 2 would provide the detailed facts and the evidence to both
support and refute the claims (facts). All facts listed here must be supported by credible evidence, of
which the case itself is one source. If you choose, you may optionally assign a credibility weighting to
each fact, to help with later analysis.
Q3. What are the ethical and non-ethical issues?
This is a list of ALL the issues that are involved in the case, whether they be ethical, legal, social or
otherwise. In Question 5 we extract only the ethical issues for further analysis, but for now, simply
list and describe every relevant issue you can think of. This is probably the most difficult and
important question to get right, because Question 5 can only include the ethical that you have raised
here in Question 3. Therefore, this question must be a complete and comprehensive list of ALL the
issues.
Q4. Who is affected?
This is a list of all the stakeholders (people and entities) invo.

STEP IV CASE STUDY & FINAL PAPERA. Based on the analysis in Ste.docx
STEP IV: CASE STUDY & FINAL PAPER
A. Based on the analysis in Step III, choose which theory best applies to this situation. Add any arguments justifying your choice of these ethical principles to support your decision.
Consequentialism (Utilitarian) Theory
Deontology Theory
Kant’s Categorical Imperative Principle
Social Contract Theory
Virtue Ethics Theory
NAME THE THEORY HERE: Deontology Theory
B. Explain your choice above: THIS AREA SHOULD BE 4-7 sentences or roughly 100-200 words.
Deontology is an approach to Ethics that focuses on the rightness or wrongness of actions themselves I choose this because ethical actions based on normative theories can be effective in developing better privacy practices for organizations. A business should be able to admit to making a mistake. This is especially important to shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders.It is important for businesses to operate with transparency. Consumers need to be able to trust what businesses present to them.
C. Your decision: What would you do? Why? List the specific steps needed to implement your defensible ethical decision. THIS AREA SHOULD BE 2 OR MORE PARAGRAPHS (250-350 words).
Deontology is a theory of ethics that suggests that actions can either be bad or good when judged based on a clear set of rules. So what I would do is set these rules in place. Businesses/companies should uphold the ethical standard of respect. People personal data shouldn’t be treated as ends rather than means. Companies should keep personal data about their customers/users and should be expected to keep this information private out of respect for these individual’s privacy.
Another rule, Businesses/companies should uphold complete transparency. This builds not only trust, but help builds a relationship with the users/customers. And if they don’t enclosed information the company’s actions would be considered unethical and wrong. Another rule is that there should always be accountability. A business/company should always be able to admit to making a mistake. This is especially important to shareholders, and stakeholders. They should be able to own up to missteps even when this could have serious consequences. With these rules emplaced it would be more ethical.
D. What longer-term changes (i.e., political, legal, societal, organizational) would help prevent your defined dilemma in the future? THIS AREA SHOULD BE 2 OR MORE PARAGRAPHS (250-350 words).
My dilemma is the misuse of personal information and data. Not just in social media but, also companies and business. One of the obvious ways to stop this dilemma is to make it that companies aren’t allowed to collect and store our personal data. User data can legally be sold as long as legal conditions for its collection and sale have been met and there isn’t any regulation against it. Our data is being sold for profit. This shouldn’t be allowed. There should be laws and regulations against that. They are the only ones benefiting.

INTRODUCTION:
THINKING ETHICALLY A Framework for Moral Decision Making
***This article updates several previous pieces from Issues in Ethics by Manuel Velasquez - Dirksen Professor of Business Ethics at Santa Clara University and former Center director - and Claire Andre, associate Center director. "Thinking Ethically" is based on a framework developed by the authors in collaboration with Center Director Thomas Shanks, S.J., Presidential Professor of Ethics and the Common Good Michael J. Meyer, and others. The framework is used as the basis for many programs and presentations at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
TAKEN FROM: http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing/decision/framework.html

Module 4 - SLP
DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE
The goal of the Session Long Project is to identify and evaluate the ethical principles used in resolving ethical dilemmas, and to apply the principles to specific ethical issues that may have professional, sociological, economic, legal or political implications.
Often times a patient needs a lot of resources prior to being discharged from the hospital. Some organizations use discharge planners or case managers to aid in acquiring these resources. The topic of this SLP is about Jenna, a young woman who could not be discharged home until the issue of resources to care for her was resolved. This story demonstrates that resource allocation decision making is inherently complex, a process that is dynamic, multidimensional, and iterative. After reading the article, "The relational nature of case manager resource allocation decision making: An illustrated case" by Fraser, Estabrooks, and Strang and doing additional research, please respond to the questions listed below:
1. Provide a brief summary of Jenna's case. What was her medical condition? What was her prognosis? Why was it important for her to go home? Did she get to go home? If so, how did that impact her recovery?
2. What were the resources that Jenna needed to go home? What barriers did her case manager encounter in acquiring these resources?
3. Discuss the theory of relational ethics as it applies to this case. What is it? How does it impact the allocation of resources? Think about your own discipline of study, how does this theory apply to acquiring scare resources? Provide an example.
4. Based on what you have read about this case and resource allocation, do you agree with the statement "that resource allocation decision making is inherently complex, a process that is dynamic, multidimensional, and iterative"? Why or why not? What are your views on the fairness of the process? Was it done in a fair manner in this case? Did Jenna get preferential treatment because of her case manager? If there was no one advocating for her, what do you think the outcome would have been?
SLP Assignment Expectations
1. You will be expected to provide a scholarly basis for your response.
2. Your opinions must be justified with evidence from the literature.
3. References should be cited properly in the text of your essay (either in parentheses or as footnotes), as well as at the end.

This document provides an introduction and overview to a course on business ethics. It discusses the course aims, format, assessment, and topics that will be covered. These include major ethical theories like deontology, utilitarianism and virtue ethics. It also provides background on the history and development of business ethics as a field of study, noting it emerged in the 1970s in response to criticism of corporate social responsibility. The role of business ethics today is to help students and professionals evaluate complex ethical issues that arise in business but may not be addressed by other areas of study or work experience.
chapter one ethics.pptx
This document provides an introduction to business ethics. It defines business ethics as the study of business situations addressing issues of right and wrong. Business ethics examines morally right decisions, not just commercially strategic ones. The relationship between business ethics and law is described, with ethics covering issues beyond just legal compliance. Morality, ethics and ethical theory are distinguished, with ethics representing a systematic study of morality. The importance of business ethics is outlined in terms of business power and impact, its potential for good or harm, and addressing complex stakeholder demands. Business ethics is important for a variety of organization types and faces different challenges in a globalized world.

INTRODUCTION:
THINKING ETHICALLY A Framework for Moral Decision Making
***This article updates several previous pieces from Issues in Ethics by Manuel Velasquez - Dirksen Professor of Business Ethics at Santa Clara University and former Center director - and Claire Andre, associate Center director. "Thinking Ethically" is based on a framework developed by the authors in collaboration with Center Director Thomas Shanks, S.J., Presidential Professor of Ethics and the Common Good Michael J. Meyer, and others. The framework is used as the basis for many programs and presentations at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.

Module 4 - SLP
DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE
The goal of the Session Long Project is to identify and evaluate the ethical principles used in resolving ethical dilemmas, and to apply the principles to specific ethical issues that may have professional, sociological, economic, legal or political implications.
Often times a patient needs a lot of resources prior to being discharged from the hospital. Some organizations use discharge planners or case managers to aid in acquiring these resources. The topic of this SLP is about Jenna, a young woman who could not be discharged home until the issue of resources to care for her was resolved. This story demonstrates that resource allocation decision making is inherently complex, a process that is dynamic, multidimensional, and iterative. After reading the article, "The relational nature of case manager resource allocation decision making: An illustrated case" by Fraser, Estabrooks, and Strang and doing additional research, please respond to the questions listed below:
1. Provide a brief summary of Jenna's case. What was her medical condition? What was her prognosis? Why was it important for her to go home? Did she get to go home? If so, how did that impact her recovery?
2. What were the resources that Jenna needed to go home? What barriers did her case manager encounter in acquiring these resources?
3. Discuss the theory of relational ethics as it applies to this case. What is it? How does it impact the allocation of resources? Think about your own discipline of study, how does this theory apply to acquiring scare resources? Provide an example.
4. Based on what you have read about this case and resource allocation, do you agree with the statement "that resource allocation decision making is inherently complex, a process that is dynamic, multidimensional, and iterative"? Why or why not? What are your views on the fairness of the process? Was it done in a fair manner in this case? Did Jenna get preferential treatment because of her case manager? If there was no one advocating for her, what do you think the outcome would have been?
SLP Assignment Expectations

L1 handout
This document provides an introduction and overview to a course on business ethics. It discusses the course aims, format, assessment, and topics that will be covered. These include major ethical theories like deontology, utilitarianism and virtue ethics. It also provides background on the history and development of business ethics as a field of study, noting it emerged in the 1970s in response to criticism of corporate social responsibility. The role of business ethics today is to help students and professionals evaluate complex ethical issues that arise in business but may not be addressed by other areas of study or work experience.

Morality, ethics and ethical theory are distinguished, with ethics representing a systematic study of morality. The importance of business ethics is outlined in terms of business power and impact, its potential for good or harm, and addressing complex stakeholder demands.

EUGENE
In reviewing this week’s reading material, Kouzes and Posner’s (2017) argument for the importance of enabling others to act, fostering collaboration, and strengthening others reminded me of Deci and Ryan’s (1985) self-determination theory. I have routinely come back to this theory throughout my coursework as the principles within it seem to fit many different molds, specifically leadership and motivation. The topic of motivation and police officers has become an area of interest due in part to research showing the unique nature of being a police officer, to include internal and external stressors that are seldom experienced by any other profession (Accquadro Maran, Zedda, Varetto & Ieraci, 2015). Deci and Ryan’s (1985) self-determination theory simply says that in order for humans to feel motivated to perform they must have a sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. I find that Kouzes and Posner’s (2017) concept of enabling others to act and fostering collaborations meld perfectly with providing people with a sense of autonomy. Leaders, especially front-line supervisors within law enforcement organizations, have a dramatic impact on the autonomy of officers. I have seen first-hand how front-line leadership can restrict the decision-making process so much that they drain the officer’s motivation which leads to them not wanting to act and foster any sort of collaboration with the organization. Having the confidence as a leader to step back and allow others to make decisions is a worthy investment. While not every situation will allow for this, leaders must learn to create environments in which their people can be successful and allow them to make decisions. This level of confidence is not learned overnight, and I have struggled with this myself. However, once I observed the benefits of allowing officers to make their own decisions, obviously within the guidelines of our policies, they feel more connected and confident in their ability to solve problems. If we look at Deci and Ryan’s (1985) argument for competence, this aligns with Kouzes and Posner’s (2017) argument for strengthening others. Competence, or having the ability to complete the task at hand, comes down to proper training which strengthens others and allows them to complete their job more effectively and with confidence. Failure to strengthen others can, and will, result in stagnation due to a lack of motivation to perform. Leadership is a challenging process that takes time to learn and understand. This process can certainly be daunting, however just as Proverbs 3:5 (English Standard Version, 2020) reads, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean .

Appendix ACase Study.docx
- 1. Appendix A Case Study Assessment Criteria TOPIC: Business and The Integrity of Science. For your Business Ethics course you will review, assess and report the ethical dilemma in a real business situation. The integrity of the scientific method and the sciences reputation are the ethical focus of this Case Study. Business in many ways is a significant contributor to science. Businesses need scientific data, results and recommendation to produce and market services and products. An obvious example is the pharmaceutical industry. The research, design and production of drugs are highly regulated. There is also a lot of money
- 2. involved in this part of medicine. Drugs can be helpful and harmful at the same time. Therefore, there is an opportunity for many ethical conflicts to arise in the pharmaceutical industry. Case study two (2) requires you to research the threat to scientific integrity by business people. Research how far corruption has infiltrated the science of the pharmaceutical industry. Look for bribes or other forms of coercion to have scientific results say what the money interest want it to say. This case study is about the possible and plausible ethical dilemmas that arise during the development and marketing and sale of prescription drugs. Part of this course requirement is to become more sensitive and observant of the grey area circumstances and situations that converge for an ethical dilemma. The following assessment criteria shall be used for the class. More importantly this ABC 3 step critical thinking process may help you throughout your career. 1. A> What were the factual antecedents that preceded an ethical resolution, crisis, accident, crime or poor judgment that made the ethical dilemma transparent to those outside the specific enterprise? 2. B>What behaviors do you consider to be unethical and WHY? The why part of this assessment requires a guess or opinion regarding individuals’ motivation. Often a behavior is based on a strongly held value. For example, wanting more and more money is not only greedy but often motivated by pride or arrogance. Consider vices, virtues and values while elaborating on WHY. In this section you should suggest motivation for interfering with science. Corruption is about money, power and influence. Making money is not corrupt. Making money and endangering others lives is corrupt and unethical. (The answers to this question should include the largest amount of words for your case study. Ethics is mostly about why we behave rightly
- 3. or wrongly. Remember that relative ethics would say more rightly or more wrongly. Make this section at least HALF of your entire paper). If there is corruption then you should also be able to comment intelligently about fairness and justice. Note that section 3 of the rubric awards points for using words used for ethical thinking and assessment. Also, you should not just pepper your paper with ethical words. Many sentences in CS1 basically said, they did this and that is unfair. Unfair means many things to many people. Use language to explain your view of unfair actions. Same goes for justice. 3. C>What were the outcomes or consequences? Consider both short term and long term, financial, reputation, relationships, image and/ or trust. Report if the cultural, social and legal landscapes have changed for the better or worse based on this case. All case studies should be 2 pages. Format is simple. Answer each of the 3 questions. The layout is single spaced paragraph(s) for each of the 3 steps. Cite your sources. One source is not enough. Eight sources are probably too many. Please put your name on the page (s). BRING YOUR REPORT TO CLASS! To get started I have listed two articles. Pick one CASE from the articles and then do further research on your own. Each article has many key words. For example, Merck bribes scientist may turn up some interesting data, so that you can write a decent case study. Another key word is Marcia Ancell she is a whistle blower that has worked in the health-medical industry. Articles to start: The Daily Beast. “Big Pharma is America’s New Mafia”. http://www.lynnemctaggart.com/blog/242-big-pharma-and-the- mafia Grading criteria is for 20 points. Your Case Study is worth 10 points. I will use the percentage earned to convert 20 point scale to 10 point scale.
- 4. Grading and Writing Rubric: BA 3102 Rubric for Case Studies Criteria Unsatisfactory - Satisfactory – Good - Excellent Level 0 = 0pts. Level 1 = 1pt. Level 2 &3 = 2 -3pts. Level 4 = 4pts. Identification of Issues (What is the conflict in values; ID the Ethical Dilemma) Identification of ethical /social concerns is sparse or missing. Identifies some of the ethical/social concerns in a given problem/case. Some important points are missing. Identifies most of the ethical/social concerns in a given problem/case. Most significant points are identified. Completely and thoughtfully identifies all ethical/social concerns in a given problem/case. Supports Arguments (Why did individuals make unethical choices) Inconsistent in articulation of position and/or offers little or no supporting evidence. Most points are supported with adequate information. Some important points are missing and/or support for positions lacks substantial explanation. Able to support a position with adequate information and few logical fallacies. Able to support a position with a substantial amount of information, little or no bias, and valid arguments.
- 5. Integration of Course Concepts (Breaking Laws, Fairness, Justice, ethical constructs, vices, virtues, social responsibility) Very few course concepts integrated. Integrates some course concepts, however, with some inaccuracies. Integrates course concepts fairly well, with few inaccuracies. Integrates course concepts consistently and accurately. Structure Paper is disorganized; little flow; vague; difficult to understand. (See Pointers) Presentation flows smoothly with occasional confusion or rough patches between ideas. Presentation is smooth, polished and organized; flows well. Language (See Pointers) Errors are so numerous that they obscure meaning. (Poor Word Choice: Enron executives made accounting mistakes) Occasional errors in writing, but they don’t represent a major distraction. Writing is free or almost free of errors. ¼ point increments will be awarded. For example 2.75 structure points indicates enough disorganization and sentence structure problems to warrant a C grade.
