For this assignment you will develop an individual case study that draws upon the various elements of theory from the module. The case study context should be an organisation of your choice; this might be an organisation/Industry you have previously worked in, the case organisation from the guest lecture or an organisation/Industry you are interested in. Your organisation should be approved by your tutor, and we recommend that you work on your assignment throughout the module. You will have the opportunity to receive formative feedback throughout the module on the work you develop, on a weekly basis.
Critically consider the position of your organisation/Industry in relation to sustainable and responsible business practice, in order to do this you will need to (1) critically evaluate and justify the need for responsible business; (2) explain the logic and underpinning theory associated with ethical decision making (normative, behavioural and management ethics), including the organisations approach to ethics and sustainability; and (3) explain how the various stakeholders are engaged with and impacted by this position.
You should use real-world examples of current practice (including scandals or examples of innovative practice) to illustrate the position of your organisation. You may find it useful to compare and contrast the position of your organisation to others who operate in a similar field. Your task is to illustrate your understanding and appreciation of the ethical theory and how this is applied in practice to further the agenda of responsible and sustainable business behaviour and to consider recommendations to develop good practice within your selected organisation. Your recommendations should be in some depth rather than surface level solutions such as increased recycling or donating more money to charity etc.

To what extent is the organisation innovative relative to sustainability within its organisational context? You might include examples of past attempts by other organisations to become more ethical and sustainable (including those who have failed, the guest Lecture might be useful here).

Word limit and Submission Information Business论文代写
The word limit is 2,500 words. You must stick to the word limit plus or minus 10%. If you don’t write enough words that is up to you. If you write too many we will disregard any over the limit, (as that is likely to be your conclusion it could affect your grade considerably). Turnitin tells us how many words there are. The bibliography and reference list don’t count, but everything else does.
