A complete collection of real-world business ethics case studies with detailed teaching notes and discussion guides. This document includes the full teaching notes for multiple landmark cases, including Boeing 737 MAX, the U.S. opioid epidemic, BP Deepwater Horizon, Wells Fargo, Nestlé child labor, and more. Each case includes discussion questions, theoretical links, and suggested answers for instructors or advanced students. What's Inside: * Multiple full-length business ethics case studies * Detailed discussion questions for each case * Instructor teaching tips and theoretical frameworks * Case synopses and stakeholder analyses * Device-friendly format – study anywhere Topics You'll Study (All topics below are pulled directly from the document): * Boeing 737 MAX – organizational culture and ethics * U.S. opioid epidemic – stakeholder analysis and government regulation * ZTE trade sanctions – global business and political influence * BP Deepwater Horizon – environmental costs and sustainability * Wells Fargo unauthorized accounts – corporate governance and cross-selling * Upper Big Branch mine disaster – workplace health and safety * Starbucks airport discrimination – diversity and inclusion * Nestlé child labor – global supply chain ethics * Stoli vodka boycott – crisis management and social media Sample Questions from This Set: Question: What were the immediate technical causes of the crash of Lion Air Flight 610? Answer: A faulty angle of attack sensor fed erroneous data into the plane's computers, triggering the MCAS system. The plane relied on only one sensor (a single point of failure), and pilots had not been trained on MCAS. Question: Do you believe drug companies fraudulently marketed their products? Why or why not? Answer: The case provides evidence that Purdue Pharma aggressively marketed OxyContin, downplayed addiction risks without solid scientific basis, and was later found to have misbranded the drug "with intent to defraud and mislead." This Is Helpful For: * Students taking Business Ethics, Corporate Social Responsibility, or Public Policy courses * Students preparing for case-based exams or discussions * Anyone who wants to understand real-world ethical failures and corporate responsibility I hope this helps you feel more confident going into your exam.

Case Synopsis

On Monday, October 29, 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea in Indonesia
shortly after takeoff, killing all 189 people on board. The aircraft was a nearly new Boeing 737
MAX, delivered to Lion Air, a low -cost regional carrier and one of Boeing’s major customers,
just four months earlier. The MAX was Boeing’s newest aircraft and the centerpiece of the
company’s strategy for the shor t to mid-range commercial market. CEO Dennis Muilenburg
faced an urgent an urgent task: to determine what had gone wrong and why with Boeing’s
newest and so-far successful new model. The case presents the history of Boeing and its external
competitive environment; the evolution of its strategy, governance, and ethics practices; and its
relationship with U.S. regulators during the design and certification of the 737 MAX. What
organizational and environmental factors had contributed to Boeing’s development of an
apparently unsafe aircraft? What could Boeing, government regulators, and its airline customers
