This website is perfect for teaching the difference between legal and ethical behaviors. First, the website provides a brief description about the difference between legal and ethical behaviors. The rest of the website provides interactive activities for students to become familiar with the content. I would recommend just the two exercises titled “the difference” and “legal or ethical” since those are most related to our topic. Students can complete these exercises individually, and then as a collaborative activity, students can discuss their answers with a partner. The goal of this activity is for students to be able to distinguish between legal behavior and ethical behavior, provide examples of the two, and explain the differences.

Between choosing wording for labels, selecting packaging materials, and monitoring product quality, product managers often face serious ethical dilemmas. In this LAP, students will examine several common ethical issues that product managers deal with on a daily basis – and gain an in-depth understanding of the importance of ethical behavior in product/service management. In the Gray Zone, students will consider the case of a product manager who is facing pressure to label a new product with “no sugar added,” despite the product’s naturally high sugar levels. LAP modules are comprehensive instructional packages that include all elements of a performance-oriented lesson plan. This LAP includes a student narrative that includes information about ethics in product/service management, a (So What?) discussion of why it's important to learn, and a short (Gray Zone) case addressing ethical issues. The instructor section features a comprehensive discussion guide, complete learning guide (short answer) and post-tests (multiple-choice) with descriptive keys, student activities, and more.
