For in-class exercises, I like Stanford's "Leadership in Focus" video cases, which are free. The only problem is that not all of them have teaching notes.
For ethical issues: https://www.leadershipinfocus.net/presentations/video-cases/topic-id/5/
I have used:
- Right, Wrong, or Just, Business?
- Walking the Line (I like this one to learn about lay-offs)
- Policy or Principle (about Don't Ask, Don't Tell)
- Paying Bribes (very useful to teach about international context and ethics)

Subject: Re: [SIM] suggestions for an in-class case?
I'm also scouting about for MBA cases. I've not gotten around to building the course yet for my upcoming summer course. I use the Lance Armstrong Case and How Will You Measure your Life? Both from the Harvard collection and I employ them in my undergraduate course. I'll have to scout out the what George has recommended. I appreciate that input as well.

I recommend a Harvard Business Review Article titled : "The Parable of Sadhu" ... Ethical questions include: what is our responsibility to other people who are in need and effectively and unintentionally obstructing our preferred outcomes. Usually creates good discussion.
LeQuin's "Those Who walk Away form Omelas" is another thought provoking collision of utilitarian and rights based thinking, For that matter you can do the Trolley Problem itself, with the principle of double effect residing at the center. All seem to engender good discussion and have application to business

Hi. I'm nearing the end of teaching three MBA sections of Strategy. I hadn't taught it in about 20 years and had little time to prepare. An emergency, as you'd gather.
We haven't been using cases but rather the companies the participants work for (or, in a few instances, companies that can be researched).
The last chapter in the text I'm sort of using (Rothaermel) includes ethics (and, to its credit there are ethics comments in each chapter).
What I'd like to use next week is an in-class, hence short, account - from a magazine or some other free source - that has these properties:
demonstrates some of the ways that moral choices face managers - in other words, that isn't an exemplar of an ethical theory but of ethics in practice;
has shades of gray;
should elicit discussion.
I haven't listed "strategic." So long as it deals with something of consequence for the company that's fine. I have gravitated to the approach Richard Rumelt has been favoring: strategy is focused problem solving on key problems or opportunities - and required due to change.
Thanks kindly for suggestions,
Alex
