Business Ethics Material/Ethical Dilemma

Description In this activity, begin by rereading the scenario about the imminent merger presented in the first paragraph from the file on Prescriptive Approaches and complete the assigned posting listed below. Pretend that you are the person that found the merger information and must decide what to do with it. FOCUS on the ethical, not the legal issues. Select only ONE of the three approaches presented for dealing with ethical dilemmas (virtue ethics, deontological, and utilitarianism) and apply it to this situation. Write a short essay/logical argument–about 300-550 words– justifying whether you should or should not buy stock based upon the principles associated with the ethical approach you chose. Note: Be sure and state which prescriptive approach you are using. Your essay should reflect that you read the merger story and have an understanding of the prescriptive approaches.
