Assignment Task: Students are required to analyze a provided scenario involving a decision-making dilemma faced by a local municipality official. They should apply each of the three management ethics models (moral, amoral, and immoral) to assess the ethical implications of various courses of action. Students will then recommend the most ethically appropriate approach based on their analysis.

Scenario: You are a local municipality official responsible for allocating funds for community development projects. Your municipality has limited resources, and you are under pressure to prioritize projects that will generate economic growth and increase tax revenue. However, there are competing demands from residents for projects that address social welfare issues, such as affordable housing and public healthcare facilities.

Assignment Requirements:

1. Apply the moral model of management ethics to analyze the ethical implications of prioritizing economic growth projects over social welfare initiatives. Consider ethical principles such as justice, fairness, and the common good.
2. Apply the amoral model of management ethics to evaluate the decision-making process without considering ethical concerns. Assess the focus on achieving economic objectives and maximizing tax revenue regardless of social welfare considerations.
3. Apply the immoral model of management ethics to assess the potential consequences of neglecting social welfare needs for the sake of economic growth. Consider the disregard for ethical principles and the negative impact on vulnerable populations.
4. Recommend the most ethically appropriate approach based on the analysis of each model, providing justification for your recommendation.
