Project Examples

Using an ethical decision-making framework, 10 teams of 5 MBA students will use a combination of personal values and the values of your organization, to develop a process that will allow your organization to navigate major decisions with greater clarity.

Ethical dilemmas could include, for example:

  • A forestry company deciding whether to alter clear cutting logging practices to a more sustainable approach, not necessarily required by regulation.
  • A company that outsources products from a rural area signs a contract forbidding illegal labour, that unbeknownst to them is violated by their external supplier.

Your organization will benefit from learning about the processes of ethical decision-making from multiple perspectives, as well as work with 50 talented MBA students with a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
