Business Ethics Report (100 points) See rubric below

Due Sun April 12 by 11:59 pm.

Instructions:

1. You will be writing an informational report, which typically follows a direct pattern (see textbook Chapter 4). Include the following: introduction, facts/findings, and summary.

Format your paper in the following way: (4-5 pages, including title and references)

Title page (1 page)

Introduction (½ -1 page)

Findings (1 ½ – 2 pages)

Conclusion (½ to 1 page)

References (1 page)

1. Use APA style formatting, citations, and references. This report is short enough that headings are not required. If you do include headings, make certain they are in APA style. You do not need an abstract. Use Times New Roman 12 pt font, 1” margins, and double spacing.
2. Report on some facet of business ethics. Remember in an informational report you are only presenting the facts; there is nothing to interpret or recommend. The possible topics are almost endless! You may pick something you have heard about already or something you know nothing about. This report needs to be on a very specific topic. It may be about a company or individual that has gotten into trouble over an ethical issue.

1. Follow the 3-Step-Writing Process. Plan, write, and edit for a clear and concise written document. Consider the audience and purpose. Conduct your research. Create a Work Plan for yourself. Prepare an outline to keep you focused. Write your draft. Revise and proofread. Evaluate to see if you ‘said’ what you meant to say. Note: You’ll only turn in the final draft.

1. Include at least 3 different types of sources in your report. Your sources may include:

• books
• web pages
• magazines
• newspapers
• trade publications
• scholarly, peer-reviewed journals
• other appropriate sources you find

Use at least three different TYPES of sources. That means you need to have at least one from three of the categories above. A paper with that cites 10 websites will not receive as much credit as a paper that used a book, a website, and a journal.
