Please remember that spelling and grammar are important in this class. 2 points of the possible 10 points for this assignment are for spelling and grammar. If you feel you need help, there are online writing tutors available. See the student resource module.
The required readings reference is worth 2 points. This is the readings (includes textbook) and not an outside source. An outside source or incomplete reference to our readings will earn -0- points. Here is a suggested way to reference the text: Page 59 / Chapter 5 or PP Week 2, slide 5. It is important that business students pay attention to the details.
Questions 1, 2, and 3 are worth 1 point each. Question 4 is worth 2 points.
The overall brief analysis is worth 1 point.
The videos are in the Quiz itself.
Watch these two videos and the one companion article. They are about three highly publicized incidents where actions by employees forced each company to take a drastic and unusual action. As you watch, think about the ethics of what is happening. Then in 1-2 sentences per number, answer the questions. Spelling and grammar count. There must be at least one text reference (page/chapter/edition).
There is no right or wrong answer. There is only a complete answer that is supported by a complete reference to the text.
