This online simulation presents two (2) ethical dilemmas/situations that introduce students to ethical frameworks, provide them with a framework for making ethical decisions, and reinforce the learning by immersing them in real-world situations dealing with Conflict of Interest and Non-Compete/NDA
The first dilemma, “The Case of the Hot New Market,” challenges the participant to deal with Conflict of Interest. The second, “The Case of the Competing Suitors” challenges the participant’s ethical approach to Non-Compete/NDAs.
In the first dilemma, the participant is approached by a board member who wants to expand a training company he owns to include continuing education for medical professionals. The board member is asking for financial support in exchange for product placement in the training materials that are produced for this new audience. Product sales tend to increase following such sponsorship, but the challenges are how to partner with the Board member, whether the financial support should be disclosed, how to place and or discuss the products within the training materials, and how to avoid conflict of interest.
In “The Case of the Competing Suitors,” the participant is put into a difficult situation with two Clinical Research Organizations competing for a partnership on a new product. One is a company with which the participant has had significant recent success and is known to be making investments in anticipation of a continued and growing relationship. The other is a company that is better suited for this particular product and one previously courted for a relationship. Can a relationship with both companies be achieved and still maintain integrity?
About the Author: Catharyn A. Baird, J.D., is the CEO and Founder of EthicsGame and Professor Emerita of Business at Regis University, Denver, Colorado. She began researching personal and professional ethics when she was a practicing attorney, representing children and parents who found themselves enmeshed in the juvenile justice system. As she worked with families, she became intrigued by the question of why some children seemed to know the “right thing to do” while others did not. [more]
