Inform Consent, Beneficence, Confidentiality, and Nonmaleficence.
Favorable risk vs. benefit ratio, Potential harm, and result.
Fair subject selection, Voluntary participation.
Social and clinic value.
Scientific validity.

By the end of class, the students will:

  1. consider how historical incidences of unethical treatment of research subjects have informed the ethical conduct of nursing and biomedical research (CSLO 2);
  2. evaluate the significance of the Nuremberg Code and the Declaration of Helsinki (CSLO 2);
  3. defend the human rights that require protection in research (CSLO 2) ;
  4. integrate the informed consent process with IRB review (CSLO 2); and

Assume you decided to continue with the development of the innovation you evaluated in Week 4. Research and evaluate the external environment related to the product or process you selected.

Assignment Deliverable
Write 350- to 700-word evaluation of ethics in innovation and product or process development. You will use some of this information in your Week 6 assignment. Consider the following questions to help guide your evaluation:

Who is the intended market for the product or process?
What is important to the intended market?
What ethical considerations (e.g., sustainability, environmental impact, social consciousness) must be addressed in the development of this product or process? How might ethical considerations change over time? How can these be anticipated and applied to the product or process development?
How should the ethical considerations you considered influence product or process development?

The ethics of product development.

This week, you discuss the ethics of product development. Whether you’re a manager of people or processes, these considerations are important to understand.

Think about a product you use regularly, such as a smartphone or a home appliance. What ethical considerations do you think had to be addressed in the development of the product? How do you think those considerations ultimately influenced your purchase decision? Think about the need this product fulfills for you. What ethical issues might you be willing to overlook to meet this need, or what ethical considerations might make you forgo this product? Share the product in your response.

Unethical dilemma that concerns you

Leaders face many difficult ethical choices as they develop and implement their strategic change initiatives. Many of these ethical challenges are ethical dilemmas that result from competing stakeholder rights such as employees versus shareholders, not issues of unethical behavior. What is the one ethical dilemma that concerns you the most as a leader preparing to implement a strategic change initiative? Why? How might you address this dilemma? Why would you select this approach?

Ethical-decision making models

Posted on | by

For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:

You are a manager at a baby formula manufacturing facility. There are global supply chain issues which are impacting the availability of raw materials and a rapid increase in demand is preventing your company from fulfilling customer orders. There is not enough inventory in stock to provide the product to all of your customers, which include some major supermarkets and smaller stores in your region. Utilizing current production standards, it would be at least 45 days before you can ramp up production to meet the demand. Your production team comes to you with the suggestion that the company decrease the quality of the baby formula to meet demand. Given the limited inventory and the high demand, there are decisions that you have to make as a manager regarding the quality and supply distribution of the product.

Using ethical-decision making models, answer the following questions:

As a manager how would you decide how to divide the available supply of product among the various customers?
Would you alter the production method to get the product on the market sooner although it will diminish its quality?

Ethical Standards and Guidelines

Consider the information presented in the readings this week as it can be related to your current or future employment as a practicing psychologist working with a given population. Select two or three ethical standards presented in those articles that will be relevant to you and that population. Specifically, discuss how those standards will be relevant to your work. Discuss the precautions that can be taken to ensure that the standards are not violated when conducting survey research with the identified population.

In your response, incorporate how the concepts of ethical astuteness, demonstration of ethical character, and practicing ethical acuity pertain to the ethical standards you identified in this post.
