Ethical Theories Applied in the Making of a Business Decision

In Unit 1 we introduced business ethics and explored ethical theory. In Unit 2 we began our discussion as to laws which affect workers. In this first assignment, the focus is on the ethical theories from Unit 1.

Consider the following factual scenario which was faced by the Volkswagen Automaker:

A Volkswagen engineer was directed to create defeat device software to temporarily cheat on emissions tests by turning pollution controls on only when being inspected by regulators. The engineers moral consciousness did not originally object and an intention formed to do as directed. But assume that before acting on the intention, the VW engineer becomes aware that the U.S. government was taking a much tougher approach to corporate wrongdoing and a company was harshly punished recently for violating government environmental regulations. Because of the new inconsistency between anticipated and actual outcomes, the engineer begins to have second doubts about the intention.

Select and define three ethical theories. Distinguish the differences between each and explain how each might be used as you recommend a course of action to be taken by the Volkswagen engineer.

Your analysis as to each ethical theory should be one page in length.

Use and cite at one additional authoritative source for each ethical theory other than the text materials.

In addition to fulfilling the specifics of the assignment, a successful memo must also meet the following criteria:

Length should be 3 pages, excluding your title and references page.
Viewpoint and purpose should be clearly established and sustained.
