This paper must include an outline as highlighted below. I would prefer using a fictitious company.

The Code of Ethics and Evaluation Paper

1. Identify the topic. The topic of your paper is important. Try to sum up the point of your paper in one sentence or phrase that is original and topic focused, well developed, and thought provoking. This will help your paper stay focused on the main point.

2. Identify the main categories. What main points will you cover? The introduction usually introduces all of your main points, should flow logically, and is effectively linked to the main topic. Then the rest of paper can be spent developing those points.

3. Create the first category. What is the first point you want to cover? If the paper centers around a complicated term, a definition is often a good place to start. For a paper about a particular theory, giving the general background on the theory can be a good place to begin.

4. Create subcategories. After you have the main point, create points under it that provide support for the main point. The number of subcategories that you use depends on the amount of information you are going to cover; there is no right or wrong number to use as long as each point is compelling or persuasive in support of the main category. Keep in mind there are 15 content areas to the course project.

By convention, each category consists of a minimum of two entries. If your first category is Roman numeral I, your outline must also have a category labeled Roman numeral II; if you have a capital letter A under category I, you must also have a capital letter B. Whether you then go on to have capital letters C, D, E, is up to you, depending on the amount of material you are going to cover. You are required to have a minimum of two of each numbered or lettered categories.

Example:

I. First main category

A. First subcategory

B. Second subcategory

II. Second main category

A. First subcategory

B. Second subcategory

Code of Ethics and Evaluation Paper Your task is to create an original Code of Ethics and Evaluation Paper for your company or organization. You may also choose to create a Code of Ethics for a fictitious company or organization if you prefer not to use your employer. Codes of conduct for military do not qualify for this assignment. In your company Code of Ethics, please include the following:

guiding principles,

purpose of the code,

core values,

training and education,

definitions,

what employees it covers,

how it will be implemented/communicated,

how it will be enforced and reported,

mission statement, and

other pertinent elements you feel necessary to have a comprehensive Code of Ethics.

The Evaluation part is to include the following:

stakeholders, strategic ethical formulation,

strategic ethical implementation,

ethical monitoring mechanisms, and

ethical performance.

Please include a short introduction and background of the company/organization and a summary of the Code of Ethics and Evaluation in the paper. This assignment must be at least 2000 words in length, double spaced, and 12pt New Times Roman font. The title page and reference pages are not included in the required paper length. CSU requires that students use the APA format in writing course papers.

Extra Notes

Therefore, the APA rules for formatting, quoting, paraphrasing, citing, and listing of sources are to be followed. Your paper should contain at least five references in addition to the textbook and may

include Internet sources, books, and professional journals or other pertinent resources. Do not copy or plagiarize others materials. Use references less than four years old.

In unit IV Outline, your topic is your intended title for your Code of Ethics papers based on the real or fictitious organization you have chosen to work on for your unit VII course project. Your main category in your unit IV Outline should be the 10 items noted in the syllabus under Unit VII Course Project. These would include "guiding principles", "purpose of the code", "core values", etc. Thus, and at a minimum , your work shoudl have 10 sections with each section clearly stating these 10 main categories. After these are done, then you can add the first categories and then the subcategories as requested in unit IV Outline. See the example in the syllabus.

Whatever outline you produce and submit in unit IV Outline assignment, is exactly what you shall develop into a full paper for your unit VII Course project. So, make sure your unit IV Outline is well designed.

In unit VII Course Project, only one paper, called the Code of Ethics Paper, which will be developed from your unit IV Outline, is required. There are no Evaluation Papers. The items noted under Evaluation Paper in the syllabus for unit VII Course Project, can be incorporated as part of your narrative under the different headings and categories which you have already outlined for your Code of Ethics Paper. How you incorporate these points, is up to you. These items/points as noted in your syllabus includes, who the stakeholders are, the strategic ethical formulation, the strategic ethical implementation, ethical monitoring mechanisms, and ethical performance. In my opinion, you can include these points under the mission statement or make it a full heading under the other pertinent elements you feel necessary to have a comprehensive Code of Ethics
