Final q3

Is the practice of earnings management ethical? Is the practice of international transfer pricing ethical?

Final q.1

Michael Porter and Mark Kramer’s “Creating Shared Value” has been criticized as not being original — that people have been writing about much the same thing for decades and that it is just a relabeling of strategic CSR practices and that, in a move very much reminiscent of Milton Friedman’s famous critique of CSR, CSV “presumes compliance with the law and ethical standards, as well as mitigating any harm caused by the business”. Of course, as long as you can presume them away, then you don’t have to deal with them. Do you agree with these criticisms? If so, why? If not, why not?

Instructions:

Your research paper should be at least 1200 words long (the Works Cited page is a part of this word count requirement).

For your research paper, you should pick a debatable ethical, social, or political topic.

Choose a side to argue and support your argument with evidence. Make sure to also present the arguments of the opposition and argue against them.

• You should make your own arguments, rather than simply report on where others stand on the issue.
• You may not make faith based arguments in your research paper (ie: “The Bible clearly
  states that

is frowned upon by God, so people should not engage in that

activity.”)

• Your argumentative research paper should be presented in MLA format, and include page numbers and a proper heading (1″ margins, 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, check the box under paragraph which reads “don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style”).
• Properly introduce your argument, clearly stating your thesis (position on the subject) in your introductory paragraph.
• Your paper should include an introductory paragraph (which introduces your argument, both sides of the argument, and shows which side you are arguing for), body paragraphs (which flesh out the position you are taking on your topic, while stating the arguments of the opposition and refuting them), and a conclusion (which wraps everything up neatly and restates your thesis and explains why your position on the matter is better than that of the opposition).
  Do NOT use “I,” «we,” or «you” pronouns or contractions (“she’s” or “can’t,” for example) in your paper.
