Avoid the temptation to fill your paper with corporate
profile information that can be found on the web. I know you can research, and
I know you can read! This assignment is designed to demonstrate COMPREHENSION
and CRITICAL THINKING.
In the last bullet point under ‘Main Elements’, you are
asked to identify potential ethical issues and then prioritize them. Please pay
attention to the next sentence: “EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING” – this means that your
choice of ethical issues and their prioritized order must be explained (as
opposed to just listing them!). If you find that you are running up against a
page limit by this point, go back and look for areas to summarize more briefly,
so that you have room to address that last bullet point in detail.

Lastly, avoid the temptation to overwhelm your work with
references and large quotes. You must not let the work of others do the work in
this assignment for you. Make the point you are trying to make and then
use a quote to support your position – not the other way around!
