The Task
Your assessment will take the form of a 3,000 word (you are allowed to go over by 10% making it a maximum of 3,300 words) submission consisting of three parts in total.
You will be expected to show that you understand the importance of individual and organizational ethical thinking and practice and that you can apply ethical decision-making. You will also need to show that you can think critically about the role of business in society. Further, you will need to show that you have understood the way in which theory can underpin how ethical issues are viewed, but also that you understand that theory offers a guide but not necessarily the answer to practice. The assessment also requires you to show that you have reflected on what makes an ethical leader and manager and what that means in the context of organizational culture.
An extensive rubric is provided which will show you how the work is marked and what is required to achieve high marks.
