Q When preparing for your discussion post on this case, it is recommended that you read through it several times. • Read through it the first time to familiarize yourself with the prompt. • On the second reading, consider your assigned role in the situation, and let that guide your perspective. Look deeper at the details: facts, problems, organizational goals, objectives, policies, strategies. • Next, consider the concepts, theories, tools and research you need to use to address the issues presented. • Then, complete any research, analysis, calculations, or graphing to support your decisions and make recommendations. What first comes to mind when you hear the term sustainability? Do you envision a family living off the land in Alaska? As more organizations embrace corporate social responsibility (CSR), more evidence is available to support the belief that there can be a business case for sustainability. But what has the research shown? After completing the module’s reading and watching the video, complete the tasks below. A. Complete the following: 1. Describe two possible ethical issues that Sustainable Goods (company from your Final Project) could face based on cultural differences that might lead to unethical employee behavior and how to mitigate the risk of each. 2. Analyze the two countries you selected for your Final Project. State at the top three reasons that there would NOT be a business case for sustainability in each of your countries (you need three reasons for each country). Support your analysis with scholarly evidence. This is an opportunity for you to conduct a counter-thesis analysis and help mitigate the likelihood of a biased analysis of your two countries. 3. How would you measure how sustainable your Final Project company Sustainable Goods business practices are? Cite at least three measures that you would use and how you would collect the data (what data and how often you would collect it). B. When responding to at least two classmates, provide substantive feedback on why there is a business case for sustainability in your peer’s two countries. You must support your response to your peer with well-researched information. Ensure you support your responses with scholarly reference material using APA formatting. Consult the Discussion Posting Guide for information about writing your discussion posts. It is recommended that you write your post in a document first.
