The student will write two separate Case Assignments that focus on two individual cases from the Ferrell textbook. Each Case Assignment must be between 45 pages (double spaced), not including the title or reference pages. The Case Assignments must include five or more peer reviewed references in addition to the course textbooks and the Bible and must be in current APA format. There must be a clear thesis statement with an introduction that provides a clear overview of the papers contents. The issues raised in the topic must be treated objectively. The conclusion must offer a robust summary of the issues treated in the paper and suggestions for further study. The paper will be written in an objective (3rd person) format and cover the topic to sufficient depth for an upper-class research paper and provide a substantive evaluation of the ethical issue(s). INSTRUCTIONS: Read the case from the Ferrell text (Monsanto in Module 4: Week 4; Enron in Module 5: Week 5). Address the questions at the end of the case. (the six questions are listed below) Does Monsanto maintain an ethical culture that effectively responds to various stakeholders? Compare the benefits of growing GM seeds for crops with the potential negative consequences of using them. How should Monsanto manage the potential harm to plant and animal life from using products such as Roundup? How did the corporate culture of Enron contribute to its bankruptcy? Did Enrons bankers, auditors, and attorneys contribute to Enrons demise? If so, how? What role did the companys chief financial officer play in creating the problems that led to Enrons financial problems? Each question at the end of the case should be used as an APA Level One heading in your paper. You may use Level Two headings in the paper as appropriate. All material should be presented in APA format, including but not limited to the title page, and references page. Sources should be cited where appropriate and it is encouraged to write in your own words (paraphrase) as much as possible. Avoid lengthy block quotes.
