Ethical Issues Case

Choose one of the following companies and do a critical analysis of the ethical issues involved with the case:

Legal Cases

Tyco Imclone Global Crossing

WorldCom Adelphia NYSE and Richard Grasso

Merrill Lynch Health South Marsh and McLennan

Al Dunlap and Sunbeam

Conduct research to gather the facts and address the following in the analysis:

-A short description of case

-Identification of the ethical issues involved (what was the alleged ethical wrong done, and why is/was it wrong?)

-A statement, in your own opinion, of whether it was wrong or not, and more importantly, why?

-Thoughts on what could have been done to avoid the problem - do we need more laws & government regulation? What internal controls might have prevented this situation?

-Was the problem more a matter of individuals gone wrong, or was it more systemic and organizational?

-Consider ethical theory in the text (utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics), and include in some of your responses.

-All outside sources must be documented with APA in-text citations and References page.
