Ethical Case analysis

Formatting Notes:

  1. Use font style Times New Roman size 12 with double spacing for all assignments and one inch margins on all sides.
  2. Be thorough enough to answer each question, but also strive to be concise. All assignments should have an appropriate introduction, body, and conclusion. The page requirements for this assignment are 2-3 pages. Do not exceed 4 pages.
  3. Use APA formatting for in-text citations and for your reference list in order to cite the textbook, the case study, and any (optional) outside sources. REMEMBER, ALL DIRECT QUOTES NEED PAGE NUMBERS IN THE IN-TEXT CITATION. You must cite the case study and the textbook material in these assignments.
  4. Use the information you have learned from the text (but make sure you are not directly copying and pasting sentences from the textbook or case without the use of quotation marks and proper APA formatting).
  5. Title page, Tables, and References do not count toward your page limit.
  6. Structure your paper in a manner that makes it easy to tell that you have addressed each part of the question. You must use headings for each section.
  7. Please refer to the rubric on the last page for details on grading criteria. 

1). CVC Smokes the Competition in Corporate Social Responsibility Business and Society: A Strategic Approach to Social Responsibility & Ethics. Chicago Business Press

Example (In-text Citation): CVS faced many challenges, both legal and ethical, from their external environment (Ferrell, Thorne, & Ferrell, 2021).

Example (Direct Quote): This analysis will explain some of the legal and ethical challenges CVS has encountered, including a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the U.S. department of Health & Human Services (HHS) regarding violations of the Healthy Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) Privacy Rule, deceptive business practices, and failure to report missing medications. (Ferrell, Thorne, & Ferrell, 2021, page 164).

*Notice how the direct quote is excessively wordy and does not show your understanding of the significance of these events. Use direct quotes to enhance, not replace!

Example (Reference Page): Nike. (2021, April 12). Watch How Nike Refurbished Works. Retrieved from: https://news.nike.com/news/nike-refurbished-circularity-model

Example (In-text Citation): One of Nikes sustainability projects includes refurbishing shoes (Nike, 2021).

Example (Direct Quote): After a shopper returns a pair of shoes to Nike, Nike Refurbished tidies them up and then makes them a great value for Nike shoppers (Nike, 2021, para 1).

*Notice how paraphrasing with a citation allows me to relate the information back to sustainability concepts more concisely!
