BRIEF
This assignment requires you to reflect on the subject you are studying, in this case, Ethics and Decision Making. This unit enables students to critically explore the ethical viewpoints and moral standards that are relied upon to reach conclusions and make decisions within a business and organisational context. Although some ethical viewpoints are considered universal and consistent across cultures, others are of a local or personal nature. As ethical viewpoints continue to evolve and change over time through interactions with different people and contexts, the ability for managers and leaders of organisations to evaluate these changes, make ethical decisions and respond appropriately is paramount for contemporary organisations. You may frame your reflection through the following two options.
1. A personal incident or experience relevant to the subject you are studying.
2. A recent incident or event reported on in the media relevant to the subject you are studying.
Use concepts and/or theories contained within the subject as lenses to frame your analysis and, based on your insights, draw conclusions and make recommendation for contemporary management practice and/or your own growth and development within a Data and Cyber Management context.
