BETH 300, Ethicаl Principles in Business: Ethics Essаy Assignment *Befоre yоu begin, pleаse nоte: you should not navigate away from the exam page, as this will trigger a manual review by Honorlock and will count as an Academic Integrity violation. In addition, you risk losing your work.* You are asked to write an ethics case analysis on the assigned case below. Your paper should present your position on the ethical issue(s) in the case. The goal of the paper is to convince others that your position or decision is the most ethical and is practically/managerially feasible. Start with a statement of the ethical issue(s) in the case and briefly identify several possible responses that, as the protagonist of the case, you could undertake to address the ethical issue. Use the remainder of the paper to present your argument explaining why your solution is more ethically defensible than other possible courses of action. The focus of the paper should be on explaining WHY your decision is the right ethical choice (your argument). Due to time limitations, I do not recommend spending the paper laying out each stakeholder’s interests, rights, duties, and virtues. Instead, use those elements to construct your argument. If you wish and you have time without sacrificing the quality of your paper, you may include a Four Avenues “matrix” as an appendix (as a physical addendum to this virtual exam). If you wish to include a four avenues matrix, please format it with the avenues organized by columns and the stakeholders organized by rows, e.g.: Interests Rights Duties Virtues Stakeholder 1 Stakeholder 2, etc. An excellent paper: Clearly identifies and justifies the most important ethical question(s) facing the decision maker(s). Develops a thorough list of stakeholders. Clearly identifies the most important potential tensions among the key rights, duties, interests, or virtues that may not be resolved by any single course of action. Lists at least three possible options and presents a creative and viable course of action for the decision-maker. Thoughtfully and thoroughly explains how the chosen solution is both ethically and practically/managerially feasible. Provides a convincing rationale for the recommended course of action and rationale incorporates the key insights of the analysis of the case. Demonstrates awareness of a potential objection(s) to your argument and the response given is clear and compelling. Develops a realistic and compelling action plan that includes the most relevant and powerful enablers and levers for the case. Provides well-structured, clear, and compelling arguments. Is skillfully crafted, shows attention to detail, and uses professional and formal language. Case: The Forgotten Client1 Luis, the client portfolio manager and Isabel’s boss, flashed a sardonic grin, shook his head and directed her out of his office with explicit instructions to revise the numbers. Isabel was apprehensive; all the performance figures had come from the electronic systems scrupulously maintained by the company’s analysis team and were in line with the portfolio’s underlying investments. Additionally, she quickly realized that the issue lay not with the figures and charts, but with the investment decisions that had yielded such poor results. And that was one tale that her portfolio manager did not want told. Instead, Isabel was urged to find a “better” blended benchmark to replace the original, and to do so in time for the client meeting that was taking place that very afternoon. The original benchmark was based on the appropriate market indices that best reflected the portfolio’s asset mix, but which had unfortunately outperformed the portfolio since inception. Consequently, Isabel was not so subtly advised that accuracy was to be superseded by a desire to conceal this knowledge from the client. The principle (owner) of this portfolio was one of the bank’s smallest clients in terms of net worth and had remained on their platform only as a personal favor to a senior banker. He had decided only two years ago to invest the bulk of his wealth with the bank. An 85-year-old man who admitted that luck had been on his side, the client had acquired a small fortune by creating a franchise of clothing shops, specializing in low-priced fashion-forward clothing throughout Mexico. He was happily enjoying retirement, hoping to grow and eventually disperse his self-made wealth to his nine grandchildren. It was not surprising that the portfolio’s performance woes had gone unnoticed by both the portfolio manager and client. After all, the portfolio manager was new and there had been enormous turnover on Isabel’s team in the past eighteen months and a subsequent focus on their largest accounts. Everyone had been operating in fire drill mode, trying to keep the existing base of clients and acquire new ones to replace the few clients that had left during the turmoil. A small portfolio not at risk for defection would have been at the bottom of the group’s priority list. For the client’s part, his lack of financial expertise was the reason he turned to this firm in the first place; he gathered his information almost exclusively from their scheduled meetings. Isabel uneasily considered the directive to find a benchmark that would obscure the portfolio’s underperformance. As a new team member, she worried that she didn’t have the credibility or the relationships to raise the issue without personal cost, having only joined the team two months prior. Sent back to her desk and with the client meeting looming, Isabel pondered to herself: “What’s the right thing to do and how do I do it?” 1. This case contains minor adaptations of a Giving Voice to Values case written by Mary Gentile, William Klepper, Sharon Sarosky, and Suprita Goyal. This version of the case has changed some names and details for teaching purposes.
