2. Question #1: Legal Studies and Ethics
Without question "business ethics" is one of the hot topics of
the day. Over the past months we have seen business after
business charged with improper practices that violate commonly
accepted ethical norms. This has led to a loss of confidence in
corporate management, and has had severe economic
consequences. Business ethics serves the important social
function of integrating business and society, by promoting the
legitimacy of business operations, through critical reflection.
The social function of business ethics is implicit in leading
business ethics foundation theories. For this question, you will
research and respond to questions related to corporate ethics
scandals, unethical behavior, and the impact of Sarbanes–Oxley
Legislation (SOX). Look for a recent body of research in the
area of corporate ethics scandals, unethical behavior, and the
impact of SOX legislation. You should be looking for research
that differs or improves upon the existing concepts pertaining to
corporate ethics scandals, unethical behavior, and the impact of
SOX legislation, which you have learned. The research should
be from a peer-reviewed scientific journal, trade publication, or
professional journal. You can use the Internet to search for a
relevant body of research.
Based on your knowledge of corporate ethics scandals,
unethical behavior, and the impact of SOX legislation and your
chosen research, discuss the following:
• The role of management in setting the organizational tone
relative to ethical behavior.
• What should subordinates do when managers act unethically or
encourage them to engage in unethical practices?
• Discuss an example of a corporate ethics scandal other than
Enron.
• Based on the above example, discuss why you believe the

3. unethical behavior occurred.
• Based on the above, discuss what the organization could have
done to prevent such occurrences either at the time they
happened or in the future.
• Discuss whether the provisions of the SOX act will have a
positive effect on corporate ethics practices.
Question #2: Management/Social Responsibility
There is much to be said about the theory and correlation of
emotional intelligence (EI) related to organizational success and
long-term sustainability of a manager/leader in his or her
career. Many leadership/management experts argue that
successful manager/leaders demonstrate a sophistication of EI
that differs vastly from those managers/leaders who eventually
fall and fail their organizations. Some of the key factors of EI
include self-awareness, impulse control, persistence,
confidence, self-motivation, empathy, social deftness,
trustworthiness, adaptability, and a talent for collaboration.
Effective managers/leaders are very successful at articulating
their missions and visions for their organizations and know how
to bring everyone on board to accomplish them. Compare and
contrast the “transformational” manager/leader with the
“transactional” manager/leader. Who do you think can better
take the pulse of a group, understand its unspoken currents of
thought and concerns, and communicate with people in terms
they can understand and embrace?
Question #3 Marketing and Research
Consider one of the following ethical dilemmas that may face a
researcher. Describe ways you might anticipate the problem and
actively address it in your research proposal. What boundaries
must researchers work within and who sets them?
1. A prisoner you are interviewing tells you about a potential
breakout at the prison that night. What do you do?
2. A researcher on your team copies sentences from another
study and incorporates them into the final written report for
your project. What do you do?

4. 3. A student collects data for her project from several
individuals she has interviewed I families in your city. After the
fourth interview, she tells you that she has not received
approval for the project from the Institutional Review Board.
What do you do?
Question #4 Quantitative and Technological Analysis
Evaluating the prospect of entry, an entrant may fear that
engaging in head to head competition post-entry with the
incumbent may result in severe losses. Some companies manage
to make a virtue out of staying small when entering markets
dominated by large incumbents. Why is it that entering small
and remaining small can be an advantageous entry strategy
(describe it in the context of a sequential game)? What is the
role of commitment in adapting this strategy and what are the
attributes of commitment? Discuss when you expect this
strategy to work. In the second part of your essay, discuss a
real-world case in which an entrant tried to commit to be soft
when entering a market. Explain how effective this strategy
was. Could it have been made more effective?
