Assignment
In each
week, the learning assignment is designed to demonstrate your competence with
the Terminal Course Objectives of the course. Prior to working on the
assignment, you should read the week’s chapters and lecture.
Clearly
identify your work with your name, the date, the week number, and the
assignment name, and upload your work to the Dropbox.
The
questions are designed to probe the higher levels of thinking and learning such
as analyzing, evaluating, and creating, and so there often are no correct
answers. Instead of focusing and who wins or loses the case, you should
analyze, evaluate, and create alternative solutions to the various issues
presented while arguing and debating the connections between business, law,
politics, and ethics.

Watch the
video case study and then write a one- to two-page reflective paper
(double-spaced) on the following questions while discussing the connections
between business, law, politics, and ethics.
One: What
is the difference between arbitration and litigation? What steps in the
litigation process are missing in arbitration?
Two: If
the parties to arbitration instead went to court, discuss the steps that the
parties would have to take in order to go to trial.
Three:
The story talked about repeat players—companies that end up in arbitration
repeatedly over time. Because arbitrators are selected by a negotiation between
the two parties in the arbitration, this story indicates they are more likely
to find for these repeat players. Discuss the ethics of this conflict of
interest and what might be done to overcome the problem.
