Ethics Game Simulation

Ethics Game Simulation

G-BioSport is a company that sells health care supplements. This company did not have to meet prior approval with the Federal Drug Administration (FDA); therefore, they put the product on the market. After test had been run, there was a trace of contaminant in 100% of the samples they received. The quality control manager must identify the problems and development solutions in order to save the company. In this paper, I will define and defend decisions that were made in the simulation. Next, the relationship between concepts of virtue, values, and morals will be described. Examples of how concepts in this simulation relate to my workplace will be provided.
