Ethics and a System of Inquiry
Not what you're looking for?
System of inquiry in evaluating decision-making, problem solving and behavior in a business setting. Basic framework as well as a discussion on why, when, and whom it is used.
I need to write a paper on system of inquiry to be used in evaluation decision-making, problem solving, and behavior in a business setting, This model should include a basic framework as well as a discussion on why, how, when, and by whom it is used. Consider how you would implement the code, possible reactions to the code from employees, and the effect the code would have on the organization. Write a 2,100-word paper discussing your system of inquiry in detail. I just talked to a student and our paper now only has to be at least 4 pages long. I work at garden merchandising as a summer hire. I guess what I need to do is base my paper on their code of ethics. The code of ethics will be used as the basis for the System of Inquiry assignment. I could not find a code of ethics for the garden merchandising so I will use World Vision.

RESPONSE
Interesting question! Let's look at one system of inquiry, which is usually a decision-making model that you could use to make decisions, especially if there is an ethical dilemma. In other words, perhaps world Vision would need to make a decision about where to best allocate their money? They would use the decision-making model to explore the question thoroughly before making the final decision.
As an alternative Code of Ethics, you might want to consider the Code of Ethics listed as an example at the link http://www.managementhelp.org/ethics/teamvalu.htm.
1. I need to write a paper on system of inquiry to be used in evaluation decision-making, problem solving, and behaviours in a business setting. This model should include a basic framework as well as a discussion on why, how, when, and by whom it is used. Consider how you would implement the code, possible reactions to the code from employees, and the effect the code would have on the organization.
Based on this information, your tentative outline might look something to the effect:
I. Introduction (e.g., about ½ - ¼ page introducing topic; include a purpose statement: The purpose of this paper is to...)
II. Model of Inquiry (e.g., about 1-2 pages: why, when, and by whom it is used)
III. Code of Ethics (e.g. about 1-2 pages: how you would implement the code, possible reactions to the code from employees, and the effect the code would have on the organization).
IV. Conclusion (tie up main points)
Let's look at some information to help fill in the above outline beginning with two system of inquiry, problem-solving models to consider for this assignment:
Organizations should develop and document a method to be used in evaluating decisions, problems e.g., ethical dilemmas, and behaviour in a business setting. This model acts as a basic framework, and this system of inquiry works together with the Code of Ethics as the principles and values are used as guiding principles in the decision-making process. The purpose of this paper is to...
Although the decision-making model can be used for all business decisions, often it is used to solve problems with alternative solutions to consider, and many real life business problems are considered ethical dilemmas. Ideally, ethical dilemmas should be resolved by a group within the organization, e.g., an ethics committee comprised of top leaders/managers and/or members of the board. Consider having staff members on the committee, as well. So, make ethics decisions in groups, and make decisions public, as appropriate. This usually produces better quality decisions by including diverse interests and perspectives, and increases the credibility of the decision process and outcome by reducing suspicion of unfair bias (http://www.managementhelp.org).
The following two systems of inquiry can be used to address ethical dilemmas. Methods include a ten-step method and a list of key questions. (Note that The ...
