Case needed for forthcoming OB Textbook

  • 1.  Case needed for forthcoming OB Textbook

    Dear friends,

    For a problem-focused OB textbook entitled Your Life in Organizations (to
    be published by PrenticeHall) I am looking for a case of 2000 words or
    more, or materials that I might use to write such a case, on business
    ethics and the natural environment.

    I am specifically interested in materials that might be interpreted using
    concepts of:
    1) Leadership: For example, how do leaders hold their followers
    accountable for their behaviors?
    2) Group decision making:
    How do issues of deindividuation, group membership, and group
    decision making processes affect the ethical quality of the
    outcome?
    3) Organizational culture: how does organizational culture affect
    ethical outcomes?
    4) Power and politics: How do internal power and politics affect
    ethical outcomes?

    I am NOT looking for something involving individual level ethics (crises of
    conscience, for example) or macro level issues such as power struggles
    involving external stakeholders.

    Any recommendations will be most appreciated. Thanks for your help!
