MGNT920 Organisational Analysis

Detailed Information

Employees, managers and shareholders are experiencing considerable uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the pandemic in mind, explain why it is difficult to make accurate predictions about the future under conditions of uncertainty. Then discuss the ethical problems that arise when – in a state of uncertainty – a member of a profession or an opinion leader (e.g. a CEO, an economic forecaster, a politician, or a journalist) makes predictions that can have a detrimental effect on other people. Give examples from the media commentary on the pandemic. To what extent, if at all, can symmetrical ethics overcome these ethical problems?

You should cite in your essay Sandis and Taleb (2015) on symmetrical ethics, Pol and Reveley (2017) on uncertainty, as well as at least five other academic journal articles relevant to the topic. Media commentary can be obtained from websites (appropriately referenced).
