For this assignment, you will take on the role of a midlevel organizational manager. In your current role, you have noticed that the organizational culture is contributing to some unethical decision-making by subordinates and peers. You feel strongly that leadership must be not only made aware of the situation but also give appropriate solutions. To communicate with the CEO and shareholders, you must create a memo. In the memo you will explain the issues, as well as offer appropriate solutions.
The Developing and Ethical Culture memo must include
- a header with To, From, Date, and Subject;
- an introductory paragraph;
- one to two paragraphs outlining the issues;
- three to six paragraphs describing solutions; and
- a closing paragraph that summarizes the information.
In the memo,
- Describe the issues of the current ethical culture.
- Describe which stakeholders are affected by the issues, such as employees, shareholders, local community, society, etc.
- Formulate a plan to change the ethical culture.
- Convince the CEO and shareholders of the importance of the changes.
Memos are a business style of writing rather than academic. You do not need to use in-text citations in the memo. However, your work should be paraphrased rather than quoted. If you do use resources, which is optional, you must include a references page. Additionally, inclusion of details, facts, and data about the organization and the ethical culture may help the reader better understand the scenario you’re addressing.
