Reflection Prompts

Please think about and answer the following prompts. These reflections will not be graded on grammar and syntax, but on the depth of critical reflection and the analysis that composes your answers. Utilize this space to gather information and notes that you think will aid in your analysis of business ethics.

Reflection Prompt #1

Summarize three of the ethical theories that are explained in Chapter 1 of Introduction to Business Ethics. Explain how people running businesses would construct their companies if they utilized these ethical theories. For example, you might personally think that people should act to increase the overall happiness for the greatest number of people (utilitarianism). You would explain utilitarianism and then explain how a company based in utilitarian ethics would function. In other words:

What products would they make?
How would they treat their employees? How would they treat their customers?
How would they manufacture their products?
How would they utilize their resources and profits were they to become successful?

Reflection Prompt #2

Analyze three of the punishments that corporations undergo when they have acted unethically (i.e., name them, define them, explain what they are). In addition, explain three threats to running an ethical corporation. Finally, from your own perspective, explain whether or not a corporation should have to function by the same codes of morality that individual people in society have to abide by or if they should be allowed to get away with certain actions that people in society cannot get away with.

Applying Capital Budgeting
For your final discussion assignment, respond to the following questions.
Is it realistic to assume that the economic concept of operating at the point where marginal revenue and marginal cost are equal can be applied to real-world strategic planning while at the same time marrying this concept to the capital budgeting process? If so, how can that be done? If the concept is applied, how confident should we be that the firm will achieve the point where marginal cost and marginal revenue are equal?

The Nature v. Nurture Debate

TEDxUIUC – Gene Robinson – Solving the “Nature vs Nurture” Dilemma

In this Ted Talks video, Dr. Gene Robinson, a department chair and professor at the University of Illinois, discusses the latest findings in the nature vs. nurture debate, including new knowledge about the human genome, highlighting the need to break down the false dichotomy between genes and the environment.

Think about and compare two people you know. Each one of these two individuals has what you might suspect is a genetic propensity for being a leader. In other words, you have seen evidence that both of these acquaintances of yours were born with leadership ability. However, one of your acquaintances has become a leader and the other has not. What can you identify as the difference, today, between these two personalities? First share why you think both of them have a genetic temperament to be a leader and then why you think one became a leader and the other did not. What main cause do you believe is the reason that one of them is a leader and the other is not? Or is there a main cause? Remember to take into account what Dr. Robinson tells us.

Q1: How familiar are you with creating charts in Excel? in PowerPoint? Remember, you can always copy and paste a chart from Excel into a PowerPoint slide.

Q2:

Q3: Which would you prefer to see – data or a chart? Do you have a specific example when one would be more appropriate than the other?

Q4: What would you do if your data is so widely distributed that your graph isn’t very clear? For example, I’ve seen graphs where the Totals column from a Quarterly Data set is included and that makes one of the columns in a column chart much larger than all the others. Here’s another example. You run a coffeehouse. Coffee is 98% of your sales but you’ve started to offer fresh made juices. The juices account for only 1.5 % of your overall sales, but they are doubling every quarter. How would you show this?

Q5: Any tips you would like to share?

Can you think of any rights that should be added? Are universal human rights necessary, and should all nations have the same basic rights for their citizens? How should universal human rights be enforced?
