Please note that the questions to answer are asked below and they are not the ones at the end of the case. If you answer the ones at the end of the case, I will assume that you are copying them from the internet, and it is an automatic 0 on the assignment and will result in a academic integrity report to the provost.
I have done extensive searching to find answers on the Internet to this case study so, being a case study on ethics, you need to do your own work. If I find that you copied an answer or nearly copied an answer, no points will be earned for this assignment. You need to provide objective cited sources to support your answers. Each answer should include at least 2 sentences, and will probably require 3-4 sentences for a fully developed and complete answer.
Submit your answers in Word.
