Write a 700- to 1,050-word evaluation of ethics in innovation and product development.
Choose a product from your childhood such as a favorite toy.
Evaluate the external environment related to the product at the time this product was sold or owned by you. Consider questions such as:
o Who was the intended market for the product?
o What was important to the intended market at that time?
o What ethical considerations do you think were addressed in the development of the product at that time?
o How might those ethical considerations have influenced the product development?
Evaluate the external environment and potential ethical considerations of the product from today’s perspective by considering:
o How has the intended market for the product changed over time?
o What is important to that market today?
o What ethical considerations (such as sustainability, environmentally-friendly, socially-conscious, etc.) must be addressed in the development if you were to develop this product today?
o How have the ethical considerations changed over time?
o Would the product be marketable today as it is? If not, how would the product have to change to be marketable?
