Project Examples
Using an ethical decision-making framework, 10 teams of 5 undergraduate 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 decisions 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.
- Should our firm employ people with autism? (Some banks are now doing so. They initially thought it was a social enterprise concept but it turned out to be profitable)
- A retail firm has primarily provided technical skills training and some interpersonal skills for management. The firm is now exploring providing mandatory interpersonal development training for all staff. Should the firm proceed with this?
Your organization will benefit from learning about the processes of ethical decision-making from multiple perspectives, as well as work with 50-60 talented undergraduate students with a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
