CASE ANALYSES:Cooper’s Ethical Decision-making Model

CASE ANALYSES: Students will submit an analysis of an ethics-related public sector case study. Using Cooper’s Ethical Decision-making Model (Cooper, p. 30), the case analysis should discuss the following:

 1). The issues: What are the main issues in the case? Identify the major ethics-related themes that are pertinent. Be sure to account for the problem of perception.

 2). Linkages: How are these issues linked to relevant ethics? Clearly identify linkages and related content and assigned readings to the issues identified. Your linkages should be explicit. Using a numbered list may be helpful.

 3). Identifying alternatives: what alternatives exist in dealing with the ethical issue(s) at hand?

 4). Probable consequences: Using Cooper’s Model, work through the stages of the model to identify probable consequences to each alternative identified earlier

5). Solutions: Select an alternative; discuss the state of resolution of the ethical issue. Keep in mind that your solution(s) need to be specific and utilize ethics theory as well as readings. As in all written submissions, grammar, spelling, composition and punctuation will be graded. Case analyses should be 3-5 pages in length, single spaced, with 1-inch margins and a 12-point Times New Roman font, coverpage, citations APA, and pages numbers.
