Getting Started
During the course of your graduate program of study, you will be
introduced to many business disciplines requiring many types of
insight and decisions. Listening to the words of many different
people who speak the different languages of their discipline and
their culture will be necessary. As we listen and make business
decisions, our moral and ethical foundation must be preeminent.
Developing a personal ethical statement is the first step in making
ethical decisions.
Throughout this course, you will be working on the various
components of your personal ethics framework. These pre-writing
assessments and assignments will help you measure performance
with respect to important ethical behaviors, skills, or concepts
discussed throughout the course. These pre-writing assignments
are essential to your final paper due in Workshop
Six.
This assignment will help you begin to identify the behaviors and
qualities you exhibit in your moral decision-making process. These
self-assessments will help you to identify the behaviors you want
as part of your ethical framework.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be
able to:
● Evaluate one’s personal ethical standards and create a
personal/professional framework to guide decision making
compatible with a Christian worldview.
