Assignment: General Model of Ethics

In the attached article by Zhou and Piramuthu , the authors propose a general model of ethics that speaks to the governmental/legal environment, social/cultural environment and individual/professional/work environments. They then display this model using quality function deployment (QFD). Further, they apply this model to ethical concerns with the use of radio frequency identification (RFID). Identify another innovation in supply chain management and apply Zhou and Piramuthu's general model. The innovation you consider can be technological (as was the case in RFID) or a business practice (such as outsourcing).

Develop a 4-page document that shows:

• Analysis and evaluation of the ethical implications of a supply chain management innovation.
• Analysis and evaluation of the impact of the governmental/legal environment, social/cultural environment, and individual rationality and subsequent technology selection.
