The purpose of this case study is to familiarize business management and entrepreneurial students with the complexity of ethical dilemmas that impact decision making in challenging business situations. In the presented case, Steve, a senior executive at a US-based construction and civil Engineering firm in Dubai, is positioned between two decision making options with distinct natures, dynamics, and consequences. The case also sheds light on challenges of global business that influence ethical decision making. Questions at the end of the case facilitate a holistic decision making approach (the key to making moral decisions) by encouraging the employment of multiple ethical judgment philosophies.
