Ethical Decision Making: What should Mathew Do?

Your assignment for this week is to read the attached case and answer the associated question ("What Should Matthew Do?") This case was developed in a collaborative effort between faculty and students in the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame.
Before beginning to write the assignment, you should take a few minutes to read A Framework for Ethical Decision Making (Links to an external site.). This should put you in the right frame of mind to extract from the case what you see as the pertinent, justifying reasons behind your position.

Suggested Format
These reflection assignments are meant to help you develop ideas, issues and questions to contribute to the class. Unlike formal papers, they do not have to defend a thesis, though they may. They may also have a personal (“I think”) and searching (“maybe”) quality to them. They must, however, demonstrate that you have engaged in a close reading of the assigned material. You must quote and analyze specific passages from the reading and use parenthetical page references.
Here is a suggested format to follow in these reflection papers:
a. in the first paragraph, introduce a specific issue, problem or question that the reading raises for you with respect to the case scenario
b. in two to four paragraphs, use specific evidence from the text, including quoted passages, to develop your thoughts about how the larger reading helps you address this issue, question or problem (use parenthetical page references)
c. in a final paragraph, sum up what you have learned from engaging the text in this way—for example, what you now think in response to your opening question or problem, or what new questions or issues your analysis has raised for you
