Description The details are within the attached file. UNFORMATTED ATTACHMENT PREVIEW Competency In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency: Analyze the ethical considera!ons related to an issue Scenario Your role in a new company includes brand management and public rela!ons. The company has enjoyed a windfall in profits in its first year of opera!on. Because of its rapid success, it has a"racted media a"en!on. You see this as an opportunity to establish your firm as an upstanding corporate ci!zen. To demonstrate your organiza!on’s commitment to social responsibility, you propose that your firm should allocate a por!on of your recent profits toward a worthy philanthropic cause. You survey your fellow board members and employees’ interests and receive a wide range of sugges!ons (listed in the Project Topics document in the Suppor!ng Materials sec!on). The scope of proposals ranges from economic and social jus!ce to issues of war and sustainable peace. From a public rela!ons standpoint, there are risks to taking a stand on one of these poten!ally controversial issues without first doing some research. For your company to make strategic decisions related to its charitable dona!ons and advocacy, you need to start at the beginning. Your task is to select one of the topics in the provided list to focus your research. You will demonstrate how to analyze ethical frameworks and apply them to your philanthropic decision making in a report to the execu!ve board. You will incorporate your findings in a report to the execu!ve board. Direc!ons In your report to the execu!ve board, you will demonstrate how to analyze ethical frameworks and apply them to your philanthropic decision making. Note that you should not take a stance or advocate for a specific charity. Instead, you will research the topic to answer more fundamental ques!ons about how to approach the issue. In this way, you will illustrate sound ethical decision making that can then be applied to future philanthropic decisions. Specifically, address the following in your report: 1. Part One: Background Begin your report by explaining the relevance of ethical frameworks for your audience. Specifically, explain how ethical frameworks can influence decision making, including your organiza!on’s philanthropic choices. 2. Part Two: Analyze Your Chosen Topic A. Examine your topic from an ethical perspec!ve. Iden!fy at least two ethical issues that are currently relevant for your chosen topic. Illustrate each example for your audience using evidence. B. Evaluate the poten!al impacts of di?erent ethical decisions related to your topic. In other words, describe how your organiza!on could have real-world e?ects with its philanthropic choices. Provide specific examples to illustrate your claims. 3. Part Three: Reflect Conclude your report by explaining how your organiza!on could use ethical frameworks to defend the validity of its future ethical decisions. Remember that you should not take a specific stance on any one issue. Instead, you should explain more broadly how ethical frameworks can be used to support sound decision making.
