The Parable of the Sadhu Case Questions read and follow the instructions in the word document. make sure to use the correct book, i provided the ISBN at the bottom of the document. A. Read the case titled “The Parable of the Sadhu” at the end of
Chapter 2 and answer the following questions:
1.
Did McCoy do anything wrong? If so, what and why?
2.
What can we say in McCoy’s defense? How might you
construct a defense of his actions and argue he either did the
right thing, or at least nothing bad?
3.
If the Sadhu had been a child, or a beautiful Western
woman, do you think McCoy would have gone to the top or
stopped and helped? Why or why not? Should that matter?
4.
How much should context matter in our analysis?
a.
Should our standards be different at 15-20,000 feet
above sea level on a mountaintop in freezing cold temperatures?
b.
How about when other individuals and groups are
present? Does that make us more or less responsible?
c.
What needs to change to shift the dynamic and create
better outcomes for all stakeholders?
5.
McCoy seems to regret his decision to leave the Sadhu. It
is a decision he made in just a few moments with little
reflection, yet it has had a profound impact on the next 20-30
years of his life. What does this tell you about the challenge of
living a good life? If moral dilemmas don’t come before us and
announce themselves, how can we do a better job of seeing
them coming? What can be learned from moral mistakes?
6.
How, if at all, does your view of other moral mistakes you
read about (e.g. Enron, Bernie Madoff, the financial crisis)
change in the wake of considering this case?
Do not answer with just yes or no only. In general, in the course,
provide
reasons for your answers and base your answers on the subject
of the preceding chapter(s).
In this case study base your answers on the concepts of chapter
2. It is important to reason your answer. The points are for your
reasoning.
B. Read the case titled “Business Enterprise Trust: Merck & Co.”
at the end of Chapter 3 and answer the following questions:
1.
How should Roy Vagelos think about this problem? What
are some possible approaches to take to framing what is going
on here?
2.
Does Merck have an obligation to do something here?
Does its knowledge create an obligation to act? If so, does that
extend to an obligation to spend between $100-200 million of
its resources to help?
3.
What should be on Vagelos’ radar screen as he thinks
about this decision? What specific considerations should he at
least note before he gets to a decision?
a.
Which stakeholders should he think about? What is
their interest?
b.
What is at stake for Vagelos? How will this decision
shape him and his character?
c.
Are there any specific principles that should factor into
his decision-making?
4.
What do you make of Merck’s mission? What, exactly,
does it mean? How important is it to your decision and why?
5.
Make a decision: commit to developing the drug now, or
decide not to develop it? [Note that with this latter option you
are not committed to doing nothing: you can opt to wait until
you get someone to pay for it and then develop it later, or
simply share your discovery with others and let them pursue a
drug. You are simply saying you won’t commit Merck’s
resources to developing the drug.] Make the case for your
decision: what are the most compelling reasons for your
decision?
6.
What does this case tell us about the challenge of putting
business and ethics together?
Do not answer with just yes or no. Provide reasons for your
answers and base your answers on the concepts in chapter 3. It
is important to reason your answer. The points are for your
reasoning
