MGMT2726: This task involves an academic case study report of a current ethical and/or sustainability issue in business: Business Ethics and Sustainability Assignment, UNSW, Singapore

This task involves an academic case study report of a current ethical and/or sustainability issue in business. This is a lengthy piece of work that has been designed to both assess your learning in the subject, as well as be a vehicle for learning itself.

By selecting a case study based on events and issues that are of personal interest and relevance to you, you will be able to deeply engage with your chosen topic as relevant to business ethics and sustainability. This will mean that the assignment is not simply a matter of testing whether you have learned what is covered in class, but rather it is a learning experience in and of itself.

Central to this learning will be your ability to develop your own perspectives, argument, and critical appreciation of ethical issues related to business; these are skills and sensitivities that can in turn guide you in your current and/or future professional practice.

Please manage your time well in completing this Assessment. This Assessment cannot be done at the last minute. Instructions: The first step is to identify a case study of business ethics and/or sustainability that has been reported in the news.

The idea is to select a case for which ample information is available in the public domain. The events in the case must be ongoing. There are many possible types of cases that you can choose, and it is recommended that you choose a case that is related to your own personal interests.

If you are unsure about your selected case, you can ask your lecturer or tutor whether they think it is suitable. Once you have selected your case you will need to identify sources of information on which to base your report. The information you use should be from the public domain.

This could include newspaper articles, magazine articles, television programs, et cetera. All sources must be cited. Once you are familiar with the case you will need to analyze it using relevant academic readings.

Write about the main ethical/sustainability issues that are in place. Who and what are the key stakeholders involved? How have they been affected by these issues? Are the issues mentioned organization-specific, industry/sector-wide, or of a national or global nature?
