Additional Instructions:
From our reading, we will explore accounting and finance and to look more closely at an ethical approach to the environment. With this in mind, read chapter 8 from Rae & Wong – Accounting & Finance (uploaded) and chapter 9 from Hess & Cameron (uploaded) as they explored the concept of forgiveness in an organizational context. Forgiveness is not often discussed in the workplace, but it has its place in any work environment and has a clear biblical basis. For paper, answer the following questions:
1. Compare the way the case at LTL Trucking reflects forgiveness with the way Scripture teaches us to forgive. What are the similarities and differences? How can leaders shape the way this concept is applied in the workplace?
2. What biblical connections can be made to the values displayed by this case? Are these values discussed in current business/organizational literature?
As you answer these questions, move past offering information and into analysis and synthesis. In this manner, you move to a higher order of thinking and writing that reveals your insights on the topic. In addition, respond clearly to the questions with a full answer and analysis. Ensure the citations conform to APA format/standards 6th edition.
