It terminates any chemical or drug residue left on the meat before packaging. The meat inspection also avoids any type of false labeling on any products.

Case Solution: Continue with the "Buzz" marketing campaign. Justification: Kayem Foods Inc, a privately held meat processing company has almost 100 years of experience and success as a processor and distributor of delicatessen meats, hot dogs, and sausage. Their years of experience in the industry establishes Kayem as a rival competitor and company that can steal market share. The fact that Kayem has almost 100 years of experience also means that the company has learned from past mistakes but also has documentation of their successes and triumphs. I would recommend Kayem Foods, Inc. to continue with the "Buzz" marketing campaign because the Buzz marketing campaign for Al Fresco was an overall success.
Sandwich Blitz and Integrity Unit 8 MT140-01 7/14/2014 The Executive Managers of Sandwich Blitz, find themselves in an ethical dilemma. A government inspector has found that they are in violation of the new local health codes, laws which require trash dumpsters be a minimum distance of 30 feet (9.144 meters) from the rear entrance of the building.

The enclosure that houses the trash dumpster is 5 feet (1.524 meters) from the property lines, which is in violation of those laws. So the government inspector is willing to look the other way if Sandwich Blitz provides the food for his department's holiday party.

Case Study #1 – Monsanto 1. Does Monsanto maintain an ethical culture that can effectively respond to various stakeholders? We can start by defining what ethical culture is. According to our book Business Ethics, it is the component of corporate culture that captures the values and norms that an organization defines as appropriate conduct (Ferrell, Fraedrich, Ferrell, 2008). By what we read, around 1960 Monsanto did not have any ethical culture.
