Module 1 – SLPTrends in Ethics, Sustainability, and Leadership Assignment Overview
Advocating Business Ethics
The first course in your Trident MBA journey opened a dialogue about ethics and how it is intertwined with corporate social responsibility. The main focus of the class was on critical errors and company missteps that became infamous headlines.
It’s time to analyze what constitutes proactive and continually evolving ethical/sustainable behavior for organizations from a multidisciplinary perspective. The resources below address ethics in the news from MBA disciplines. We can now expand that to the concept of sustainability. Use quality research published within the last year. Articles from the library databases are a good choice. Library databases allow searching by date. In Google search, click “Tools” and enter the date range.

No quotations are permitted in this paper. Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. NOTE: Failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” across the grading rubric. This is a professional paper, not a personal one based on feelings. It must be written in the third person. This means words like “I,” “we,” and “you” are not appropriate.
