The Course Project integrates analysis of the business decision making process when confronted with an ethical dilemma and an understanding of how ethical frameworks inherently operate in those decisions, along with the legal issues arising from the decision.
Complete the following chart in Microsoft Word. This chart organizes your work for the Course Project with identification of key concepts and research sources.

A sample completed chart with commentary is provided for your guidance as an attachment to Assignment 5.
Note that you may use a reference more than once in the chart so long as it qualifies for the purpose you are citing it. Bear in mind that for the Course Project you need more than 7 credible references to meet the Exemplary level of the Week 7 Assignment Rubric.
Note: Just because a source is in the Library does not mean it is automatically considered scholarly or peer-reviewed. For more information on peer-reviewed and scholarly sources see: How do I find peer-reviewed or scholarly sources?
