Doctor You
If you have not read our lesson this week about utilitarianism and its main proponent, John Stuart Mill, you should do so before beginning this assignment.
This week’s assignment presents a profoundly difficult dilemma, with you in an imagined professional role: You are the lead surgeon managing a liver transplant. You are also utilitarian.
A healthy young woman, Linda, had a fatal car accident this morning. She was an organ donor, your hospital has harvested her organs, and there are three liver transplant candidates on the hospital’s most-urgent list. All will die within the next month without a liver. You must choose one of the three candidates, and you must use utilitarianism as your main tool for doing so. You have about 12 hours left to make your decision. In this written assignment, please provide your complete utilitarian rationale for why you chose one of the following candidates.
Recipient A is Francis. He is 57. He is a recovering alcoholic who has not had a drink in 9 months but has relapsed many times before. Francis is a beloved husband and a father to three teenage children. He is the president of a small, struggling credit union that may fail without him.
Recipient B is Miriam. She is 34. She doesn’t do much with her life, and she’s not a very nice person. She comes from a very wealthy family; her father recently donated $2 million to the hospital’s cancer research program. He’s said that he intends to donate even more—a whole new pediatric wing—in the next year. There’s a large risk that he will cease donating if his daughter dies.
Recipient C is Benji. He is 19. He has his whole life ahead of him. He’s a college sophomore getting good grades and thinking about becoming a doctor himself. There is a strong risk, however, based on past complications, that his body will reject the liver.
Which candidate is the strongest choice from your utilitarian perspective, and why? How have you eliminated the other candidates?
You should write this as Doctor You (you can use your last name), in the first person. Imagine your hospital’s board of trustees as your audience. You should use two or three quotes and paraphrases from Mill’s work (this will require library research) to support your decision, but you’re not writing primarily as a philosopher. Rather, you’re a doctor who has grown to trust this philosophy in his profession. You should walk your audience through your decision from beginning to end. If this were a math assignment, you’d show your work. It’s not a math assignment, though, so the only wrong answer is one that you don’t effectively support.
Note: You may find that the real you does not actually agree with the utilitarian choice, or even that the utilitarian choice is not one a hospital ethics board would ultimately support. That’s okay! You’re an imaginary doctor. You’re simply practicing arguing from this perspective. Your paper should be 3 to 5 pages.

In the scenario assignments, you are asked to reflect on responses to the presented scenario. It should not just be writing down your first reaction or what you already know.
0% Plagiarism
Reflection involves critical thinking, which means rethinking your existing knowledge and previously held opinions in light of what we have learned about theories of ethics, logic, and reasoning. You will need to question your current knowledge and beliefs.
Discuss the main points of the debate, what stance you take, support that stance, and discuss the opposing argument. Also discuss an ethical theory that would apply to defend your view.
To complete each scenario assignment:
Complete the entire scenario.
Compose your reflection in a Word document and be sure to address, at a minimum, the following questions:
Why do you feel the way you do about the issue presented?
Of the four responses offered in the scenario, which do you think is the most ethical and why?
Support your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook, including a minimum of one theory of ethics to defend your stance.
Your reflection must be 1-2 pages in length and follow APA formatting and citation guidelines as appropriate, making sure to cite at least two sources.
Review the rubric for specific grading criteria.

Introduction
Nagle (n.d.) cites six trends and changes that are impacting organizations today in the textbook Organizational Behavior. Those trends include ethical challenges, rapid technological change, a flattening world, sustainable business practices, demographic trends, and the global marketplace. The goal of this culminating project is to allow you to consider how these and other trends and changes will impact your role as a leader in an organization. It will require the analysis of four mini case studies and a synthesis of the inter-connectedness of the cases.
Step One: Complete Mini Case Studies
Review the following case studies from the textbook, Organizational Behavior, and answer the questions associated with each. Answer each question in complete sentences using proper grammar, sentence structure, and spelling. The answers to each case study should be on a separate page with the title of the case at the top of the page. See attached template as a guide.
2.5: Managing Diversity at IBM
4.6: People Come First at SAS
9.7: Green Teams at New Seasons Market
12.7: Leadership Development at Starbucks
Step Two: Synthesis Paper
Write a three to four page synthesis paper that addresses the six trends and changes that Nagle cited. Use evidence from these four cases that explains the impact of these trends and changes on organizations. Please note that some trends and changes are represented in multiple case studies. You may cite additional cases and information from other organizations to provide additional insight about the impact of these trends and changes. Your synthesis paper should include an introduction and description of the trends and changes. Your paper should then compare and contrast how organizations have responded to these trends and changes. You should critically evaluate how organizations responded to these trends and changes by citing positive outcomes and consequences of certain actions. Your sources may be course materials or other materials that focus on organizational behavior and organizational leadership. Create a separate heading for each trend and change in the paper. Finally, synthesize the impact of these trends and changes in your conclusion. Conclude your paper with two to three actions you will take as a leader in an organization to properly respond to these trends and changes.
