I am posting a number of examples of situations that have led to business failures. Select one of the situations or identify one that you have found and analyze the decision-making process through the ethical theories that have been discussed. Probes to consider include:

Which theory (ies) were the basis of the management decisions process?

Were the outcomes a series of poor decisions or an ethical organizational failure?

What approaches would have potentially improved the outcomes?
