A solution to TransCanada Corps Ethical dilemma

Order Description

This paper is for my Management Ethics class. It’s a term paper where you have to find an ethical dilemma and write about a solution to it.

o The story to look for is one that outlines or suggests an ethical dilemma. An ethical dilemma reflects a conflict of values that can be resolved in two or more ethically defensible ways. The story should relate to a business issue, in the broad sense of that term. It may deal with the world of commerce, marketing, finance or with environmental issues. Be careful not to choose a story that reflects only a situation where a person or organization has succumbed to moral temptation – that is a situation where someone has done something that is clearly evil, wrong or bad. You are looking for a dilemma.
o The paper itself will analyse the story from the perspective of the concepts you have been introduced to in this course. This is not a research assignment, but students may want to look at information beyond the initial story in order to flesh out their paper, for instance by checking facts, getting other opinions or providing important background and contextual information.
o The expectation is that the student will use the concepts and critical skills developed in this course for resolving an ethical dilemma to make the case for how the dilemma should be or should have been decided. Students are expected to refer to the ethical methods introduced in this course and to use the four philosophical analytic tools that have been used in class discussion.
o You are to write the paper as a report directed to the person making the decision about the ethical dilemma.
o The paper should be 1200 to 1500 words in length (double spaced) excluding appendices, references and the title page
o Grades will be assigned based how well the paper demonstrates knowledge of the course material and the ability to use the ethical concepts and methods of analysis in resolving the ethical dilemma chosen. The learning goals for the course should be kept in mind in preparing a paper.
o While grammar, spelling and general writing ability are not the central learning objectives of this course, students need to attend to these matters in order to communicate clearly and persuasively. Accordingly shortcomings in these areas will affect the overall grade.
o Students are encouraged to think creatively about presentation. Inserting photographs or other graphics to add emphasis or illustrate a point is encouraged. Formatting and layout of the paper is also an issue. Using subtitles and shorter paragraphs increases the readability and effectiveness of your communication. Where appropriate including hyperlinks to resources or video clips may help. Formatting papers as one long ‘text message’ will be considered a sign of inappropriate lack of attention to the seriousness of the need to communicate effectively. Students are encouraged to read their paper over aloud before submitting it. The ear is often a better editor than the eye.
