Module 1 Discussion 2: M1D2: Current Events: What theory is the best theory? 

Ethics are often summed up in what is considered the “golden rule”: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. However, is the golden rule the same when applied to the business arena? Does this statement assume that the moral foundation of all people is the same? Is this a wise assumption?

Considering what you have read and reviewed thus far, investigate some of the unethical business practices that have been brought to light in the mainstream media. A few examples include the Bernie Madoff scandal, Enron, Martha Stewart, the financial meltdown of 2008, and so forth. Do not use one of these as the basis for your discussion. Instead, use your research skills and personal knowledge of media to explore articles through the library’s search engine.

  • Find an article about a contemporary business ethics issue.
  • Choose the most applicable ethics theory and apply to the issue described in the article.
  • What do you see as critical to a strong solution that this theory ignores?
  • How does the choice of approach (based on theory) impact the decisions made by organizational leaders?

The nature of an ethical dilemma is based on the fact that there are multiple possible solutions.

In organizations, we are often challenged to make decisions without having all of the information or understanding all possible impacts of the decisions we make. The nature of an ethical dilemma is based on the fact that there are multiple possible solutions. This activity provides you an opportunity to explore how ethics theories create different ways to approach an ethical dilemma and to help you choose a ‘right’ or ‘best’ answer.

Consider the following situation: Reflection on our personal experience is often invaluable to the discussion of how ethics theory can change our perspective of a situation. For this activity, consider a time in your professional life when you have struggled with an ethical dilemma.

  • Consider your approach to the ethical dilemma.
  • Based on your description of your approach, identify which ethics theory best matches your approach.
  • Choose another theory that takes a different view and reevaluate the situation applying this theory.

How does each theory create a different perspective of the situation, and what impact does this have on your decision? Does one theory work better to identify the ‘right’ answer?

What evidence can you find to suggest the Patriot Act is helping our war on drugs efforts, or conversely, having no impact at all.

After the events of September 11, 2001, the war on terrorism became a much greater priority than the war on drugs. The USA Patriot Act was quickly legislated: it included some elements relating to drug enforcement. Discuss the Patriot Act I and II: What was the effect of this legislation? How did it impact the war on drugs efforts? What evidence can you find to suggest the Patriot Act is helping our war on drugs efforts, or conversely, having no impact at all?

Compare and contrast the information contained in the annual reports you were assigned.

Application: Analyzing Annual Reports

Just like a yearly physical examination can provide clues to your physical health, an annual report provides clues to the overall financial health of an organization in a given time period. Just as some health conditions are not immediately detected by a physical examination or may appear shortly after a yearly exam, the same can be said for challenges an organization may be facing financially.

For example, an aggressive competitor may be currently taking sales away from an organization’s stable customer base, yet this competitor may not have existed at the conclusion of the fiscal year that the annual report information represents. Nonetheless, it is important to be able to analyze the information that you do have, while considering new information that might change the current financial health of an organization.

For this Assignment, your Instructor has given you links to two annual reports. Examine the Table of Contents or Index in each annual report and it will help you locate the items listed below. The auditor’s opinion usually is found right after the financial statements, but it might be located before them. The footnotes to the financial statements are located immediately following the financial statements.

Then, compare the two annual reports in terms of:

  • The four basic financial statements
  • The auditor’s opinion
  • The footnotes to the financial statements
  • The manager’s discussion and analysis
  • The annual report as a whole

The Assignment:

  • Identify the companies whose annual reports you are comparing and include the links in your paper.
  • Compare and contrast the information contained in the annual reports you were assigned.
  • Explain how the information contained in the annual reports relate to the image you have of the organization as a whole.
  • Explain how the financial statements, auditor’s opinion, and footnotes are similar and how they are different in effectively conveying the position of the organization.
  • Provide 2–3 clear and in-depth examples to justify your perspective, drawing upon information from the reports you reviewed.
  • Be sure to use citations and related reference materials as appropriate.
