Problem: Legal Ethic Module

Using the internet, research and analyze a case involving ethical issues surrounding corporate governance from a global position. A common example may be where a corporate board of directors breached one or more duties, such as the duty of loyalty to its shareholders, although there are many other areas where business ethics are at the center of a case that originated at the governance level of an organization.

Briefly describe the facts of the case briefly and the legal issue. Also, discuss the effect of the case from a global business perspective and on society in general.

Incorporate the legal terminology from your textbook where appropriate in both your original post and in your responses to your classmates. Use academic or legitimate news sources, such as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc. Include the link or links used for your research in your post for your fellow classmates to review and to comment on. Do not repeat cases discussed by another classmate.

Make sure to comment on at least two classmates' posts. Make sure your comment is relevant and informative. It is imperative that you demonstrate critical thinking in your own post as well as your responses to classmates. Please remember to log in to class throughout the week to contribute to ongoing legal discourse.

In theory, two students could log on to class at the same time and begin researching the same case, then post their researched case not realizing another student researched the same issue. Should you find yourself in this unlikely scenario, please still post the case you researched and e-mail the instructor.
