Ethics and Social Responsibility Final Assessment: Outline and Rubric
Purpose of this Assessment
The Ethics and Social Responsibility competency addresses how to evaluate ethical dilemmas and
formulate a defensible resolution. The final assessment for this competency is to write a paper that
addresses stakeholder analysis, rules for ethical decision-making, ways to cultivate an ethical corporate
culture, business sustainability, and Return on Investment (ROI).
In your paper, you should identify the various ethical dilemmas and identify the stakeholders involved in
the dilemma. Since the stakeholders have different roles and responsibilities, you should analyze the
ethical dilemma(s) from their perspective and identify how the ethical dilemma affects them. You are
expected to synthesize what you have learned about ethical decision-making, as well as the “rules” and
relevant theories of ethics and the importance of business sustainability, and apply that knowledge to
this situation.
Items Required for Submission
1. Eight to ten page Ethics/Social Responsibility case study paper.
Step ONE: Preparation

civic engagement. As you prepare to evaluate the business dilemma, read the case study below and
consider the following:
● Who are the stakeholders?
● How does the ethical dilemma affect them?
● What are the pros and cons of using Vail, Inc., a wood supplier in South America?

Case Study
Comp Core, Inc. is a family-owned business in the Midwest that has been operating for 50 years. Having
started from the ground up after the family lost everything in a tornado, Comp Core has become a large
enterprise with name recognition across the United States. The company’s primary business is in
homebuilding and construction; however, Comp Core also is known for building housing developments
for families who have lost their homes in natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina. Philanthropy is an
important part of Comp Core’s mission.
Working with many subcontractors that depend on Comp Core’s success, the company has more than
400 employees in its main offices. Comp Core obtains wood for its low income housing developments
from Vail, Inc., a supplier in South America. Recently, John, one of the employees in Comp Core’s Miami
office, went to see the operations in South America. During the visit, John discovered that Vail is
destroying rainforests throughout South America to supply cheap wood. This destruction has caused
widespread damage to the ecosystem, causing the rivers to overflow and flood surrounding villages,
damaging their crops and livelihoods.
Upon returning to Miami, John discussed this issue with his boss, Susan, who told him to keep it quiet.
Instead of listening to Susan, John wrote an internal memo to the chief executive officer (CEO), chief
financial officer, and other key employees detailing what was going on in South America. The CEO was
quick to respond, telling him to stop discussing the situation, as it could damage Comp Core’s reputation.
The CEO noted that the company has looked everywhere for a different supplier, but hasn’t been able to
find one that performs work as inexpensively as Vail. The CEO fears that if the company stops using Vail
to supply wood, it will not be able to provide affordable building options for people in need.
John is now in trouble for not listening to Susan’s instructions. She is threatening to suspend him for
disobedience. John thinks he did the right thing and now is tempted to make his findings public. The CEO
is concerned that if this information comes out, the company will be disgraced and they may lose
revenue, which could result in subcontractors and employees losing their jobs. He is also worried that if
they stop using Vail as a supplier, they may not be able to continue their philanthropic endeavors.
Step TWO: Complete the Ethics/Social Responsibility Case Study Paper
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate ethical dilemmas and formulate a defensible resolution. You
should support your resolution based on your understanding of rules for ethical decision-making and
reflection of your own academic and civic life. Reference a minimum of three scholarly journals, as well
as the competency readings. You should clearly identify the stakeholders and assess how the business

dilemma affects them. You should demonstrate your ability to synthesize your reflective insights and
discuss social responsibility. The paper must include the following four sections:
1. Stakeholder analysis – The steps that will be taken, from start to finish, to complete the
stakeholder analysis should be fully explained. The stakeholder analysis should include a detailed
description and discussion of the proposed resolution changes. It should also include a
justification and rationale and highlight the benefits of the implementation of the resolution for
stakeholders.

How would you expect them to react to this situation?
● Identify the corporate stakeholders and how they are affected by this situation. How
would you expect them to react to this situation?
2. Rules for ethical decision-making
● What rules or steps can be used to identify the ethical dilemmas? How will you use
these in this situation?
● Using what you have learned about ethical decision-making, what advice would you
have for John, Susan, and the CEO of Comp Core?
3. Value and ROI through sustainability efforts- Apply one of the three corporate theoretical
approaches (Corporate Social Responsibility [CSR], the triple bottom line or stakeholder theory)
as you address these questions:
● What pros and cons exist around using Vail, Inc.? What suggestions do you have to
address these issues?
● How would you advise Comp Core about business sustainability and ROI? What should
Comp Core consider as it decides what to do about Vail, Inc. and how to manage
employees who disobey their managers?
● What could Comp Core do to create a culture of ethical business practices within the
organization? Where would you suggest that it begin; what should it do to foster this
attitude in its employees?
● Identify strategies for the organization to improve its civic identity outside the
organization and provide insight on how these public actions may benefit individuals or
communities.
4. Civic Reflection and Corporate Social Responsibility
● Discuss how you feel about the importance of an organization’s continued involvement
in matters of public concern and social responsibility.

Final Written Presentation, The Capability Approach:
Write a Three (3) to no more than four (4) page paper on a country of your choice, primarily focusing on the political and economic system. The purpose of this project is to give you an opportunity to conduct research utilizing Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum’s Theory on the Capability Approach. The written presentation is worth one hundred (100) points possible toward your final grade. You will be required to select a country and focus on the four (4) characteristics that Sen and Nussbaum consider to be important elements for creating a good society. This information can be found in Chapter 1 of the required text, The Good Society, under “Capabilities and the Quality of Life.” It is your choice as to the type of evidence (examples) used to determine whether your country can be considered a good society based on the four (4) characteristics set forth by Sen and Nussbaum (keep in mind, all 4 characteristics) must be assessed.
Your paper must include a discussion of the political and economic systems within your selected society and the absence or presence of the four (4) necessary requirements for a good society. In other words, you must include an analysis as to whether your country meets the prerequisites of a good society (including reasons). Examples used to determine what best represents “the capability approach” or the elements of a “good society” is up to you. Your written presentation must show that you have read the assigned book chapters and/or articles, and that you can incorporate this material into your discussion. Your paper must show some expertise of the assigned readings and other scholarly and news media sources. The paper must incorporate (2) ideas from two (2) separate chapters in the assigned reading (including the page numbers), two (2) scholarly sources (from JSTOR only), and two (2) news media sources.

You may only use the same author(s) once for outside scholarly source credit, unless collaborating with others not previously cited. In addition, you may not use the work of any author, who is not listed as such in any book or article that you are using. For example, if Strong and Associates are quoting or using charts or other information in their book by Stephanie Coontz, you cannot claim Strong and Associates as having made the statement or creating the chart. You must find and note the original source or cite Coontz. Your pages must be numbered but use automatic numbering on your computer. Make sure that there are two spaces between each period, and that your paragraphs are the appropriate length (a change in subject matter is a good indicator for a new paragraph).

The ‘Odyssey’ is, in part, a sequel to the ‘Iliad’. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BCE, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myth), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy.
