The For Profit Organization is Hobby Lobby, and the Not-for-
profit organization is the Brother's Brother Foundation.
This is a four-part paper, with the page requirements for each
part, as well as the complete scenario listed below.
Scenario:
You are an ethnographic researcher writing an article for a
popular organizational behavior research journal. Your purpose
is to identify key problems related to business ethics in a Not-
for-Profit and For- Profit organization. In this potential article
please complete the following activities:
Outline the company profile of the not for profit company you
chose to analyze (consult the week #2 journal for the
information you should include). Explain the ethical dilemma
that it faced or is currently facing. Analyze the way that it
responded to this ethical dilemma and outline the legal, social,
or political outcomes that emerged after the actions were taken..
Outline the company profile of the for profit company you
chose to analyze (consult the week #2 journal for the
information you should include). Explain the ethical dilemma
that it faced or is currently facing. Analyze the way that it
responded to this ethical dilemma and outline the legal, social,
or political outcomes that emerged after the actions were taken.
In part three of your paper, please provide your personal
reflections on the ethical actions that were taken in relation to
the problem. Evaluate those actions from your own ethical
standpoint. Use these questions to inspire your analysis: Did
the company respond in a morally responsible way? Did the
company respond in a morally irresponsible way? Did the
company create the ethical dilemma or was the dilemma the
outcome of an unforeseen force? Could the company have done
more? Who was responsible for the problem and how could it
have been prevented?
Remember that when you analyze something you should present
logical reasoning and factual evidence to support your position.
Do not merely answer these questions using simplistic yes and
no answers. Instead, you should always support your position
with logical argumentation and evidence that explains why you
believe what you believe.
In part 4 of your paper please create a critique of the actions of
these companies based on two of the philosophical theories that
you studied earlier in the course (deontology, utilitarianism,
egoism, virtue ethics, moral relativism). Determine which
moral theory the company appears to be abiding by in relation
to this issue. Explain the attributes of the decision that make
you believe that this is the ethical perspective of the company.
If you agree with the ethical theory of the company, explain
why this is the best ethical position on the issue. If you do not,
explain which ethical position would be better to utilize in this
situation and why you believe that this position is better. Here
are some sample questions to guide your thinking:
Which ethical theory did the company use in making its
decision? Was it the best? Why or why not?
Which ethical theory should the company have used? Why?
What is the ideal relationship between bad or suffering and
profit?
What does it mean to run an ethical business?
What is the best way for a company to maintain its competitive
edge and contribute to overall good or happiness in relation to
its workers and customers?
