Demonstrate your ability to assess organizations and their membership.

Assignment 3: In this assignment you will first identify a topic which will be the subject of your case study. Think of a case study as an exercise around a theme or set of actions and activities. These actions and activities are analyzed to demonstrate your ability to assess organizations and their membership. In addition a case study allows you to develop alternatives and corrective measures that may have helped avoid the problem you choose or at least establish criteria that will help limit or deter similar problems in the future.

Part A: Propose a case study topic. The case study should address an ethical problem that hindered and/or hurt individuals or organizations. This must not be something you have experienced in your workplace! Numerous cases where ethical issues are a root cause of problems abound. For example, here are just a few off the top of my head Bernie Maddoff, Rupert Murdoch and News of the World, Bill Clinton, Lance Armstrong, the New Orleans Saints, and Penn State, just to name a few. PLEASE DO NOT ASK TO WRITE ABOUT GENERALS!!!! THAT TOPIC HAS BEEN OVERWORKED. Also try to think or look outside your own environment it will be more and enlightening!

APPROVED CASE STUDY TOPIC: The death of Lehman Brothers

Part B. Submit a summary (who, what, when, where and how) and an analysis of the case study, namely what are the major causal factors and effects. This should include a list of your references, no fewer than five, hopefully more.

This should be no less than 2,500 words, no more than 5,000 words. The assignment should adhere to APA style guidelines (http://apastyle.org): 12 point font, 1 inch margins, double-spaced, and include cites and references.

Part C. Submit a proposed outline of how you will do your analysis of this case study, especially noting the relationship between ethics and leadership.
