module 4 case study
A Spin on the issue
After listening to my background lectures and reading what I wrote, you were probably thinking that I am going to ask you a question on affirmative action and race or gender. I won’t disappoint you. But affirmative action goes beyond that. AA for the disabled is a very interesting issue. Make them veterans and you really have something worth thinking about.
Take a moment and .fedshirevets.gov/hire/hrp/dvaap/index.aspx”>Click Here to check out the Disabled Veterans Affirmative Action Program (DVAAP)
“Most departments and agencies in the Federal government are required to have an affirmative action program for the recruitment, employment, and advancement of disabled veterans. The law requires agencies to develop annual Disabled Veterans Affirmative Action Program (DVAAP) Plans.” (site excerpt)

module 4 SLP
In this module 4 SLP assignment, you will develop a better understanding of the ethical issue that you have identified in module 3. One way of better understanding a business decision or ethical issue is to identify the values of the stakeholders who are involved in the decision.
You learned something about stakeholders and stakeholder theory in the module 4.trident.edu/CourseHomeModule.aspx?course=17&term=117&module=4&page=bkg”>backgroundpage.
Once you have identified the stakeholders you may want to interview them (a few representatives is fine if you have identified stakeholder groups), if you can, to see what they think about the issue and decision. Your own views might change once youve heard from the stakeholders. If you are not able to interview them, put yourself in their position and consider what their views might be based on their values.
SLP Expectations:
Please write a two to three page paper, not including cover page and reference page, explaining who the stakeholders for this business decision and ethical issue are and explaining their views on the issue and decision.
General Expectations
Your paper should be double-spaced with 12-point font.
Your paper should have a separate cover page and a separate reference page.
Be sure to proofread your paper.

For the SLP, you will need to familiarize yourself with the concept of the stakeholder. A stakeholder is someone who has an interest in what a company does. A stakeholder can be the (shareholders) investors, employees, trade unions, the government. Anyone who has some stake in the outcome of what the company does. Dont confuse shareholder and stakeholder. All shareholders are stakeholders, but not all stakeholders are shareholders.
