Answer the following questions about the company you selected for your Final Project (Ford Motor CO) . (20 points)

a. How would you characterize the ethical climate of your company? What evidence is there to support your conclusion?

b. Find out if the organization has been the focus of any adverse ethical issues in recent years (look at historic news reports). If it has, try to determine whether this was due to the isolated actions of rogue managers or to more systemic, organization wide problems.

c. Does the organization undertake investments related to corporate social responsibility or the natural environment and sustainability that go beyond its narrow economic self-interest? If so, what kind of investments has it made? Whom do these investments benefit? Do you approve of these investments?
