After reading Ch. 3 in the Collins/Kanashiro text, Gansan's assigned Ch. 2 & 3, and the Barbosa & de Oliveira (2021) article (link on syllabus) … respond to one of the following questions with 2 full analytical paragraphs of solid arguments to support your discussion. We will use these questions to inform our discussions in class on Thursday (be sure to cite your sources at the end of your posting):
- Q1: Regarding corporate leadership, what is the role of ethical values for the six traditional shareholder-oriented governance systems? Why?
- Q2: What are the specific best practices for corporate governance as it relates to stakeholders (i.e., labor, or consumer, or other stakeholder issues) that challenge the idea of an ethical free market system? How does this relate to AI?
- Q3: Why should corporate leaders take on social responsibilities for diversity and equity beyond focusing on increasing profits for their owners and obeying the law? How does this relate to AI?
Grade points determined based on focus, clarity of ideas, and a comprehensive discussion with reference citations.

Weekly Memos and Forums require that you respond to my posted questions about the assigned chapters, readings, and to one another on some assignments. Your writing must be analytical, researched, and individually written 3 – 4 full paragraphs in your own words ( NO copied wording; NO quotes!)
Hint: Does your written discussion demonstrate: 1) your comprehension of the assigned readings, 2) your own edited analysis of the key concepts/arguments from the readings with corrected spelling and grammar, and 3) a Reference section at the end of your posting listing your cited text pages and external business news/website/other research sources in APA reference format (Wikipedia is NOT a permitted reference!)
Memos / Forums are Due: prior to the start of each class (submission portal closes at exactly 3:30 pm each Thursday) [NO make-ups, late, or emailed submissions!]
GRADING: 0 – 10 pts. each week's submission. Excellent and complete analytical writing uses clear references to the assigned readings without grammatical errors. Points are reduced for incomplete, vague, inaccurate, off-topic discussions and needed edits. Did you list your references at the end of your document – Author, Text/Article, pg. numbers used?? Copied or plagiarized memos = 0 pts and a discussion about academic integrity / referral to Office of Student Conduct (https://conduct.sfsu.edu/academic-dishonesty).
