it is about ethical and social responsibility for a company that does not really have a culturally diverse workplace. what ethical issue this company may face, and if we were about to apply the start synergy model to it what would O,X,Z,-Z,Y Be and what would the three alternativesbe for each of (y,-z) & (x,z). the how may the decision matrix look like in that case. and which ethical theories can be used in this situation (meta ethics, descriptive ethics , notmative ethics, virtue ethics, deontological ethics ,teleological ethics, situation ethics or pragmatic ethics ). and in this case what the advice should be

X= Business condition, Y=Ethical condition, action Z (Imperative for X), Action -Z (Imperative for Y)

So Z conflict -Z. Also the decision matrix supposed to weigh each option from the options and score it then choose the best one?

X and Y = Necessary conditions X is the business condition Y is the ethical condition ' Z and Z = corresponding ore-requisites (actions) of the two necessary conditions Framing the Dilemma in STAR Method ' In order to achieve the O necessary outcome (0): I must have X (necessary condition for the desired outcome) and at the same time X I must have Y (also a necessary condition for the desired outcome). ' In order to have X, I must do Z (necessary action for the creation of condition X) . But in order to have Y, I must do Z -Z Z (the opposite of Z, a necessary action for condition Y) 7 I I Case 7: Research and 12 Development O Justify the booking of the research expenditure as an asset item X Y Leave them in balance Talk to other directors sheet as is and about how to handle amortize in the next the booking based on year your reading of the situation - Z Z Write off the mistake in low- Convince auditors that the costs are key way so as not to indeed an asset item and use compromise balance sheet numbers to he produced hy RonaldoAlternatives YandZ - Apply correct accounting principles about treatment of research expenditure - Talk to auditors how research expenditure should be treated and whether company's system is acceptable accounting practice - Correct entry in low-key way that board approval is not required for the change in the treatment - Talk to Ronaldo to explain how he intends to justify the research expenditure with numbers Xand-Z - Convince auditors about the accounting using Ronaldo's numbers and write off the following year - Cover-up the accounting with another entry - Investigate how other company's treat this type of expenditure
