For your final assignment select a case study from Business Ethics: Readings and Cases in Corporate Morality (Eds: Hoffman, Frederick and Schwartz) from the list below and, based on the ethical issue(s) it raises, formulate policy advice that can apply across an entire industry or across multiple industries facing a similar challenge.* This is similar to the close reading prompt that asked you to do a careful analysis of a case and make a recommendation. The difference, however, is that you will be using your close reading of the selected research case to inform a more expansive claim about a related issue. For example, a close reading essay might have made a claim about how Dylan Pierce’s mentor should advise Pierce about navigating cultural difference at Peninsula Industries. A research essay using the Pierce case might now be a close reading of the case as a means to make a larger argument about how, more generally, employees or employers operating abroad should manage cultural difference.
