Dear class, we’re helping each other read a whole slew of articles in business ethics. We’re doing this by reading one and telling the class all about it. Fill out the questions below to complete this assignment. I will take them by next week Thursday. (Emailing them in is fine!)
In addition, by next week Tuesday please take this review. It is required.

For this assignment you need to find a relatively recent article in one of the serious journals in business ethics: Business Ethics Quarterly, Journal of Business Ethics, or Business & Society.
Title of article:
Journal:
Author:
The abstract gets you to expect the paper will be about:
What is the thesis? Identify it *very clearly*. What is it in the author’s own words (find it!)?
Put in your own words:
What is the structure of the paper? What parts does it have?
How did you figure out this was the structure?
What is philosophical about the thesis?
What, in the paper, does not seem philosophical?
What understanding of the justification of the market is at play?
What account of ethics is used?
Type up five complex statements in the article, and decipher them for us.
If you had to give the “other side”, what would it be?
If you were describing to a friend outside of class what articles in business ethics journals are like- what would you say?
If you were working in business, how would this article help you?
How is your paper like and unlike this one?
If you were writing a study guide for us on this article– assume we need to learn it for a test and that we know everything you listed above- what else would this cheat sheet (study guide) include?
