BUS 309 Rutgers University Unethical Business Company Case Study Paper Write a case study paper on unethical company

For this paper I have chosen Kroger to be the unethical company.

By the time you start working on the paper, you’ll (hopefully) have read many case studies of business ethics topics in the course. For the paper, you’ll be writing a case study of your own on an ethical issue in business and then writing an ethical analysis of the case.

So, the first half of the paper should be dedicated to the description of the case itself. What is the business that got itself into trouble? What does the business do to make money? What happened? Who was affected? Try to be as detailed as possible and as unbiased as possible in telling the story.

The second half of the paper should consist of two parts:

First, you should analyze the case from an ethical point of view. If the case is about something horribly unethical, try to dig in and discuss what was unethical about it, how the unethical behavior was allowed to come about, and what other options were available. Defend your claim that the behavior was unethical.

Second, you should give some recommendations and advice on how to repair the ethical problem in the business (if possible, if not, how it could have been prevented is fine).

Thus, if you’re writing an eight page paper, four pages will be describing the case, two will analyze it from an ethical point of view, and two will give recommendations for solving the problem or promoting the good acts. Those are the main parts I’ll be looking for, and I’ll complain in comments if you don’t have them all.

Are there things I should avoid doing in this paper?

Yes. 1) No quotations, please. If you use evidence or data from somewhere else, you must cite it, but I expect the evidence and/or date to be summed up in your own words. 2) If you use information from another source, you must cite the source. I don’t mind what citation style you use, but do cite it.

The paper should be relatively free of grammatical and spelling mistakes. We all miss one here and there, but it’s important to proofread your work. Also, please spell the names of your company correctly. Spellcheck won’t necessarily catch that and it shows a lack of attention to details.
