Step 1: Understanding the Case

There’s new medicine that is made by the XYZ Corporation and XYZ Corporation is known for its diverse portfolio spanning technology,
pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. The disadvantage in this situation is that the certain resource that is need for making the medicine is
from a region that is politically unstable, it has some history regarding violating of human rights and environmental degradation. The CEO
and research team and other key players need to make a plan and decide what they’re going to do with the difficult situation.

Step 2:
Utilitarianism: I think utilitarianism is the same as happiness calculator, meaning is that it measures how happy people would be, it aims to
have a high amount/number of people to be happy. In this case study, parang naglalaban yung advantages at disadvantages sa diff sides or
situation, pero given na lahat ng possible outcome parang sa utilitarian ang focus non is hindi mag suffer ang madaming tao saka mas
sumaya sila

Deontology: Sa deontology ditto naman parang ang gusto ni deontology is kung ano yung dapat at tama, halimbawa siguro non yung sa
environmental at human rights parang kung sa deontology POV kahit pa may mga benefits ung pag risk nila kumuha ng resources sa lugar
nayon, hindi sila kukuha don kase para sa deontology parang labag yon sa batas, kasi nga may vinaviolate silang rights at nakakasira din sa
environment.

Virtues: Sa virtues naman parang they are focusing more on how the corporation would have an image na mabuti at honest sila, maganda
yung character or reputation nila, anong klaseng corporation yung gusto nila. Parang sa pag dedecision making kung ano yung gagawin nila
is ayon yung mag rereflect na image ng company nila.

Step 3: Decision-making
Yung region nayon is politically unstable so risky kung mag iinvest sila sa lugar nayon at andaming possible na maging problems. Yung
politics nila kung makikipag negotiate sila sa region nayon is pwedeng baguhin since nang viviolate nga sila ng human rights. Regarding sa
safety ng corporation, madaming gagastusin kung gusto nila na secure sila parang magbabayad pa sila ng lawyer, ng mga financial assistant
para lang masecure sila. Isa pa yung mga taon na violate na yung rights sa region nayon pwedeng di sila sumangayon or panget ung maging
tingin nila sa company kasi sinusuportahan nila ung mga nangviviolate ng human rights. Isa pa sa politics nila parang pwedeng mabago
nalang sya biglaan at mastuck sila sa situation na maiipit sila kase may nabagong decision, at pwedeng mag cause ng protesta sa mga
employee. Kaya nag bago yung isip ko na irisk sana na kumuha ng resoureces sakanila, I’ve chosen na huwag na ituloy and I think mas
pagbutihin nalnag nila na mag research pa regarding sa other possible resources for the cure instead of risking or investing sa region na
wlang kasiguraduhan. Parang mas okay pang gumastos ka sa ibang plano or way kesa naman sa mag ririsk ka at possible na mas Malaki pa
yung damage kesa sa gagastos ka para sa iimprove yung research

Step 4: Action Plan


My action plan is that XYZ Corporation would change the place that they’re getting resources instead of the politically unstable one. XYZ
corporation has to check the situation of places that they could possible choose to get resources. Have an budget planning for the whole
process in finding a cure. XYZ will have a transparency in public, specifically sa mga investors nila and employees, assure them why
kailangan mabago yung plano or bakit kinakailangan na hindi tumuloy sa region nayon at kung may other place man of course they’ll have
to communicate sa mga residents na ano yung icoconduct nilang research, kung may tutol ba sa pag coconduct. Yung safety nila is priority
din, safety nila sa mga operations nila kapag nag reresearch ng bagong resources at habang naghahanap sila ng resource nayo nimamake
sure nila na sinusunod nila yung law, rules and regulation. XYZ Corporation eye is open when it comes to whats happening in their
surroundings, kailangna flexible sila at nakakaadapat sa lugar nayon katulad nalang na kung may parnag mas professionals na may better
ideas they’ll adapt to them and environment. XYZ is reposible for everything that they are doing.

Step 5: Reflection
- Dami kong naisip na pwedeng mangyare at nakakalito sya kasi cinoconsider ko palagi yung effect nya sa iba ibang situation na
dapat walang part or people na mag susuffer. Problema kodin yung image ng company how they would look to the people because anlaki
ng image nila they are famous for being professional many people trust them. I think if I faced the similar problem what id do is always
communicate to people know what they think or ano ba yung tama talaga. Id think about what are the thing that my company could do to
make everyone to be happy with my plan. Ill be fair to everyone and magiging transparent sakanila para magtiwala pa sila sa company. I
don’t care about the money parnag it sure helps in living but being able to help with other people I think that costs more than anything else
I think that’s what a leader is, leaders doesn’t think about making money, its about being accountable to the situation that they face, it
about doing what is good for everyone in the long run.Case Study: The Ethical Dilemma at XYZ Corporation

Step 1: Understanding the Case


A newly developed drug that has the potential to save lives is in an unstable position at XYZ Corporation, an immense company known by
its innovative and socially aware business practices. The disadvantage? It requires a certain mineral from an area with a history of human
rights violations and environmental degradation. The CEO and the research team, among other key players, need to decide what has to be
done. Making the morally right decision or saving lives is a difficult decision.

Step 2: Analysis
Utilitarianism:
How it works: Utilitarianism functions similarly to a happiness calculator. Making as many people happy as possible would be the primary
aim. In this particular case, it might balance the potential for saving many lives with the advantages of the life-saving medication against the
disadvantages of employing a mineral from an uncertain source of ethics. Given all the possible outcomes, the choice would be made with
the goal of minimizing suffering and increasing overall satisfaction.

Deontology:
What it would accomplish: A deontology is a set of ethical rules. It always keeps with moral standards. Regardless of the potential
advantages of the medication, it would put the ethically correct course of action—such as protecting the environment and human rights—
ahead of any potential benefits. The priority is on following by the laws and obligations and choosing choices that are genuinely ethically
right.

Virtues:
What it would do: Building positive character traits is the basis of virtue ethics. In this case, it would think about how the choice would
affect the company's reputation and character and ask, "What kind of company do we want to be?" Decision-makers would be guided by
virtue ethics to select a path of action that represents qualities like accountability, empathy, and honesty, helping to create a business
environment that is morally acceptable.

Step 3: Decision-making
As stated the region is known as politically unstable so investing in a place with political troubles could bring a lot of problems for XYZ
Corporation. The government there might change suddenly, and the rules could be unclear, causing issues for the company. Safety
concerns could mean spending a lot on security. The people living there might not be happy with the company, affecting its reputation. The
money exchange rates might be unstable, leading to financial challenges. There's a risk that the government might take control of the
company's assets, and the operations could face disruptions from protests or strikes. Deciding to look for another cure is a smart choice
because of the many problems that could come from investing in a politically unstable place. It's like saying, "Let's avoid all the risks and
challenges that could happen if we go there." Instead, XYZ Corporation can focus on finding a cure in a safer and more secure way. This
decision shows they care about doing things right and protecting the company and the people involved. Even if it means putting in more
effort to find a different cure, it's a safer and more responsible choice in the long run.

Step 4: Action Plan


To find a better cure, XYZ Corporation is making a plan. First, they're changing their focus to places with stable politics and ethical sourcing,
working with reliable suppliers. They're checking for any possible issues like safety concerns and financial stability. They're also planning
their budget well to make sure they have enough money for this change. XYZ is going to talk openly with everyone, like investors and local
communities, to explain why they're making this change and assure everyone that they're committed to doing the research in an ethical
way. They're also going to work closely with the communities in the new place, making sure everyone is on the same page. Security
measures will be in place to keep everything safe, and XYZ will follow all the rules and regulations. They'll keep an eye on what's happening
in the new place and be ready to adapt their plans if needed. XYZ is even thinking about teaming up with local groups to make their
research even better. This plan shows that XYZ Corporation is serious about doing things right and finding a more reliable cure in a
responsible way.

Step 5: Reflection
This situation got me thinking a lot, and I almost got a bit confused because I was considering how it would affect different departments
and employees in the company. Also, I've think about how these choices might make the company look to people around the world.
Thinking about making good choices in a business can be tricky, especially when there's a big decision like at XYZ Corporation. They have
this amazing medicine that can save lives, but getting the key ingredient involves some ethical issues. In the future, if I face a similar
problem, I'd try to follow some important guidelines. I'd think about making people happy overall, like with the medicine while considering
ethical rules for example being fair and honest and making sure my actions show good qualities, like being responsible and honest. It's not
just about what's good for now but thinking about the long term. Being a good leader means making choices that are not just about money
but also about doing the right thing and helping society. It's like building trust and doing things that are good for everyone in the long run.
