Small Discussion Case - 2 Resolving Ethical Business Challenges

Small Discussion Case - 2 Resolving Ethical Business Challenges

Q Please respond to the case about the ethical business challenge on page 111 and respond to the discussion questions at the end of the case. 1. Describe the stakeholders involved in this ethical dilemma. What stake do they have in the situation? 2. Are Bill’s actions an ethical issue, a legal issue, or both? Explain your reasoning. 3. What are some of the risks Ahmed faces if he becomes a whistle-blower? What are the risks if he remains silent? Please answer the questions, you do not have to upload a document. Expected is a thoughtful discussion and explanation. Points will be deducted if the posting is not complete and/or thorough enough - expected is the equivalent of about one page in Word. Responses should be in complete sentences and full address each part of the question. Please cite your sources if integrating material outside of the textbook. Finally, provide one substantive response to a classmate's post. The goal of responses is to spark critical thinking for the original poster or to provide a question that forces the original poster to reconsider his or her assumptions. These are very thought-provoking cases; it should not be difficult to respond to other posts. Gradebook Value = 20 points (original post & reply)

The stakeholders involved in this ethical dilemma are Ahmed, Bill, the professors, and the members of the IT department. This is because any breach of ethics by Bill can also affect the professional careers and personal lives of Ahmed, the professors, and the members of the IT department. In this situation, Ahmed has the stake of losing his job as a student worker at the library of Arizona University. This is because Ahmed could be asked for obtaining unaccounted money of $500. There could also be Ahmed questioned for not telling the library authorities or the authorities of the university about the unethical activities in which Bill had engaged into. The aspect of Ahmed not telling anyone can be considered against him
