Case Study 2 is based on the RESOLVEDD analysis method outlined in general in the Ethics on the Job
text, specifically in chapter 3.It is further outlined with great detail in chapter 4. Read each of these chapters.
Using the RESOLVEDD method of analysis, choose from either of the following cases found in chapter 6 to
evaluate: (1) Affirmative Action and Company Promotion Policy, (2) Too Personal To Ask, or (3) Office

Case 2 differs from case 1 in that in addition to a properly APA formatted cover page, abstract and
references, you must apply the RESOLVEDD analysis format. Each step of the RESOLVEDD methodology
shall be addressed with a separate and clear paragraph heading! Dont forget the ABSTRACT PAGE 🙂
