A Critique of Lockheed Martin

In this assignment you
will be asked to review Chapter 4, the final chapter of Terris’ book, and to
spend some time applying your critical thinking skills in evaluating Lockheed
Martin’s efforts.
Case Assignment
1.
What do you think
about the notion presented by Terris that Lockheed’s ethics program does little
to prevent ethical breaches at the highest level of the organization?
2.
Are the efforts put
forth—such as making sure higher level executives participate in
training—enough to help executives navigate what Terris calls the ‘ethical
minefield’ faced by leadership in such an organization?
3.
What are some things
that could be done to address the issue related to ethics at higher executive
levels of the organization?
4.
Terris points out that
the company’s program is overly focused on individuals and that it doesn’t
really address group dynamics that can impact ethical situations. For instance,
there can be a tendency for groups to ‘go with the flow’ of the group decision
making process and overlook ethical issues in the process. What would you
recommend that Lockheed Martin do to address this situation?
(Hint: reviewing p.
128 and the following pages – before section headed “Personal Responsibility,
Collective Innocence” – of the text might be helpful).
