Final Case Analysis Paper
Focus of the Final Case Analysis Paper:
The Final Case Analysis Paper should focus on real life,
real time application of topics covered in this course; the uses you have seen
and the uses you can envision.
Read Mattel and Toy Safety, which is Case Eight in the Cases
in Business and Society section at the end of the book. This case describes the
2007 Mattel toy recalls, which were in response to findings that several
children’s toys were coated in lead-based paint.
Write an eight to ten page paper that addresses the
following questions. Support your opinions with scholarly research.
Do you believe that Mattel acted in a socially responsible
and ethical manner with regard to the safety of its toys? Why or why not? What
should or could Mattel have done differently, if anything? Be sure to support
your answer using your research findings.
Who or what do you believe was responsible for the fact that
children were exposed to potentially dangerous toys? Why do you think so? Be
sure to support your answer using your research findings.
What is the best way to ensure the safety of children’s
toys? In responding, please consider how the following groups would answer this
question: government regulators (in the U.S. and China); consumer advocates,
the toy industry, children’s product retailers; and standard-setting
organizations. What might explain the differences in their point of view? Be
sure to support your answer using your research findings.
What do you think is the best way for society to protect
children from harmful toys? Specifically, what are the appropriate roles for
various stakeholders in this process? Be sure to support your answer using your
research findings.
