ANSWER

- Begin by conducting a search using the Off Campus Library Service (OCLS) to find an incident of employee whistleblowing that resulted in a successful prosecution and payment of a reward to the whistleblower.
- Provide a brief summary of the incident you found, including key details such as the organization involved, the nature of the ethical violation, how the whistleblower came forward, and the outcome of the case. Make sure to include a link to the article if it’s available online.
- Evaluate the incident by considering whether whistleblowing was the appropriate ethical action in this case. Consider factors such as the severity of the ethical violation, the potential harm to stakeholders, and whether internal reporting channels were available and effective.
- React to the Statement: “Crises reveal the true character of leaders and their organizations.”:
- Discuss your perspective on the statement. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? Use critical thinking and provide reasons to support your stance.
- Provide examples or evidence from your research or personal knowledge that illustrate how crises can indeed reveal the true character of leaders and organizations. You can use real-world examples to bolster your argument.
- Consider whether crises provide an opportunity for leaders to demonstrate ethical behavior, transparency, and accountability, or if they tend to exacerbate unethical behavior and reveal systemic issues within an organization.
Remember to use proper citation if you reference any specific information or sources from your research.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Partially because of the actions of leadership at Enron, Adelphia Cable, and other companies, federal regulators have been promoting rewards to those who report ethical wrong-doing by their organizations; those who do so are called whistleblowers. Whistleblowing has many challenges, both ethical and operational. A review of recent cases of reported whistleblowing show that fewer than 10% of reported charges result in successful prosecution; those individuals who made the charge are often fired and occasionally black-balled within the industry. Whistleblowers often violate confidentially agreements and loyalty, and sever relationships. Additionally, whistleblowing can lead to negative consequences for many who had no knowledge or participation in the ethical violation.
What is the ethical manager to do when faced with a possible violation?
