Ethic Game Dilemmas

The first simulation dealt with managing the dilemmas of sexual harassment. The case called "The Mysterious Roses." Rob Arnold, the Director of Sales, I must have the ability to make decision that can will affect the company's image that I am employed by, also the individuals of the company. In the simulation they are several ethical decisions that are made through several repeatable models that can provide a desirable outcome of the dilemmas. The ethical lens uses different perspectives from each different dilemma. I am able to arrive at this by a range of perspectives with favored outcome providing an appropriate ethical position for the appropriate situation. In the first dilemma I have learned that one of the employee's Bill Witherspoons actions is perceived as sexual harassment toward another employee of the company, Gail Domier, roses are left at the employees desk with no notes stating who they are from. Mr. Witherspoon has approached you informally explaining to you what has been going on (The Mysterious Roses and Cold Feet, 2002-2007).

Now Ms. Domier has requested a confidential meeting with Mr. Arnold the dilemma that the supervisor needs to concentrate on is he can maintain a level of confidentiality of Ms. Domier meeting and how to resolve it without exposing any of the participants' involved. I also advised Gayle that I would be able to keep the meeting confidential between us but advised to review the company handbook before the meeting. The major issues that need avoiding are a possible sexual harassment which will not just affect the individual but also the company. The effect on the individual can range from poor work performance, lack of trust with upper management or Gayle leaving the company and going to the press. The effect on the company can start from lawsuits to negative image in the public. Also the stakeholders who have interest in the company would find the type of behavior unfavorable and expect the situation to be resolved. The main point of the exercise it show that many choices are ethical, but some are more appropriate than others.

The second simulation was the case of the "The Called Feet, "the ethical dilemma in this case is what to do when you think a coworker has submitted false data for a research project they are working on that is submitted to journal. As you study the data you discover that data was removed contained information that showed the drug had harmful effects. Compared to the research you have done there is no way these effects should not be omitted. A decision that also has to be considered is the protection
