Description W8: What Is Your Ethical Framework? CO-1, CO-2 PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER! During this course you have reviewed many areas of law and various ethical frameworks and applied them to both real companies and hypothetical situations. These have illustrated the ethical challenges of doing business in today's society in the U.S. and globally.  Regardless of size, a business faces governmental regulations and a myriad of issues that are often in direct conflict with the notion of making a profit. You are engaged in obtaining an MBA. These are all real issues for your consideration in the future.  PROMPT: In this week's Discussion, your main post must cover the following: Reflect on these business challenges and share what you believe to be the best ethical framework for a business operating in today's world. CSR is a philosophical paradigm but it is very broad. For your answer here focus on a specific framework such as deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, ethics of care, etc., that we have studied this term, that provides a specific structure for making a decision in a given circumstance. (Look back to Week 1 Lesson in particular.)  What is your recommendation of an ethical framework for a business to be both ethical and successful?  How does your recommended framework guide decision making?  In response to each other, remember to ask questions. Use the discussion to further develop your thoughts. In considering your answers to these questions, remember to use sources from your readings and other research that are relevant to, and support, your ideas. There is no one "right" answer here, except to identify a recognized framework (other than CSR), explain how your framework  guides a decision, and why you endorse it as the best.
