75 Points
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this assignment is to
encourage you to explore your personal ethical perspectives and how those
perspectives will fit into a career in business. You will have to give thoughtful
consideration to what your values are, where those values came from, and how
they will influence your professional career.
Your assignment will be evaluated on the criteria below.
LeBow Focus:
Economics: Learn to consider positions, both co-op and
permanent, by seeking more than just a paycheck. Instead, you might consider a good fit in
terms of skills, future growth, fit with the organizations culture, and fair
compensation.
Problem Solving: Give thoughtful consideration
to times in your personal life and future professional life when your ethics
might have been or might be compromised and think through possible ways to deal
with those types of situations.
Career Planning: Acknowledge that a career in
business is more than performing certain tasks. You must also consider the
culture of the environment in which you work and seek a good fit between your
ethical values and those of the organization
Writing: “Commit to paper” your ethical values and use
that document to guide you as you pursue a career in business.
