Analysis Paper

Be sure to read the assignment description on the syllabus. Here are the questions that should form the basis for your paper:

After reading through Judy Wicks’ memoir “Good Morning, Beautiful Business,” how would you characterize her approach to business, from a theoretical perspective (consider the theories about social responsibility we learned in class)? Why do you think so? How does Judy view business’s responsibilities to each of the various stakeholders, in terms of the concepts/readings/films we covered in class? What ethical principles, in your opinion, seem to capture Judy’s behaviors during the course of her business career? Give examples and direct quotes from Judy’s book to illustrate your points. Finally, how does Judy see the local living economy movement solving some of our social problems? Do you agree or disagree with her, and why or why not?
In the class schedule portion of the syllabus you’ll notice two times during the semester when you are required to submit an ‘analysis paper’. I will supply you with two questions (to be posted on Blackboard) to which you will respond (individually) by writing two (5-7 pages) essays. These questions require you to think about a topic as it applies to a personal experience and/or react to class readings. Your two analysis papers will be graded according to the rubric on p. 10 of this syllabus.
