Explain what is meant by an ethical dilemma,why such dilemmas are potentially so important for managers,and the manner in which such a dilemma might be resolved though the application of the ethics competency.Give an example of an ethical dilemma facing an employee,describe the action taken,and explain the extent to which that action either did or did not demonstrate application of the core components of the ethics competency.The example that you give may be either real or fabricated.

Top management leadership,policies and rules,and the prevailing organizational culture can do much to reduce,guide,and assist the individual regarding ethical dilemmas.In addition,the core components of the ethics competency provide general guidance that may be applicable when dealing with ethical dilemmas.These components include the ability to: (1)identify and describe the principles of ethical decision making and behavior; (2)assess the importance of ethical issues in considering alternative courses of action; (3)apply governmental laws and regulations,as well as the employer's rules of conduct,in making decisions and taking action within a person's level of responsibilities and authority; (4)demonstrate dignity and respect for others in working relationships;and (5)demonstrate honesty and openness in communication,limited only by legal,privacy,and competitive situations.
Student examples should clearly involve a requirement to choose among several competing values.The student's analysis of the appropriateness or inappropriateness of the action taken in the example may be evaluated by the extent to which the definition and core components of the ethics competency are cited in the justification.
