United States Military Academy

Team Members: Matthew Rowe, Sarah Get, Mike Porges, Timothy Cunningham

Advisor: Cpt. Chris Mayer (Not Pictured), Sgt. Terry Hargraves

Topic/Audience: Wal-Mart: Government Accountability Project

Executive Summary

Our premise would be to teach them of the protection that should be afforded to whistleblowers, and then use the case study of Tyco to explain how the situation warranted whistle-blowing. We will make a recommendation that an entity independent of executives should be created to ensure certain executives comply with ethical business standards. Also, we seek to promote, through legal protection and financial compensation, Wal-Mart promote this ethical decision making like GAP affords to Government employees. We also explain from a consequentialist approach, since it provides a more tangible view of the good and the bad as results of actions, just why whistle-blowing is good for business.
