Writing Assignment A – Goals

My goal for this course is to comprehend how businesses undertake moral and ethical issues that impact the environment, consumers, employees, communities, and stockholders. Businesses are accustomed to being criticized for neglecting their responsibilities to society. Complaints that private businesses put profit before people have long been in question as to whether managers actually care about the company’s reputation to society or just about increasing its profits. How do companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on society?

I want to obtain research and critical thinking skills, in order to properly access and gather information about proper businesses practices. I want to be able to evaluate and critique the ethical and social demands organizations and individuals have to justify their thoughts about a business situation. I also want to, distinguish ethical issues confronting managers, including organizational challenges. And lastly, I want to be able to analyze various case studies about how a business should act, and apply that knowledge to my workplace.

In order to achieve these goals, I plan on reviewing the course textbook as well as utilizing different online business articles. I plan to also utilize Webster’s online library for books or articles, and use the writing center if I need to review my paper’s content and grammar.
