Greenwich did not do any “due diligence” which is the reason for getting sued because they did not check and that’s how Madoff was able to get away with the scheme. Greenwich should have seen that he was using his own money while he was pocketing the money from investors and they could have stopped him. 8. The SEC did not act upon the information by Markopolos because Madoff had a good reputation at the SEC and had many connections with the people within the SEC, so they didn’t even bother conducting an investigation. 9.
They have a plethora of business associates, and consider themselves leaders in the customer service business. Their motto is: “a strong organizational culture is the foundation for making a good company a great one.” (Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, 2011). I chose them because of their company background, culture and their international operating formats. Even though Wal-Mart is advancing in the industry I have seen other corporations do the same thing and fail due to their neglect when it comes to social responsibility.

Together, our purpose and core values form the foundation of who we are and what we do (About Us: Our Company, 2015) One weakness of the La Quinta Inn and Suites is it limitations in the international market.
Working with people for long periods gives room for relationships and repore to be established. In a business setting between employees and clients this can cause moral and ethical issues to arise. As an employee of a substance abuse treatment center, it is encouraged that staff build a repore as well as a relationship with clients, but the relationship is to be stopped when a client graduates the program and is discharged. This causes a moral dilemma in decisions that can be life-changing for both the client and the employee. Moral dilemmas are best defined as “to be faced with a situation in which no matter what one does, one does wrong” (Hughes, 2012, p. 1).
Barriteaun didn’t care who he hurt with his racial comments and pictures and definitely didn’t care about his ethical commitment to protect his community from people like him. What is more amazing is that when the report came out about who was behind this hatred Facebook page, Barriteaun was put on paid administrative leave and not terminated as this was a huge surprise to everyone. The Boston police department could have made a very good example of Jason Barriteaun’s case, they proved that they would not tolerate support or standby a police officer that turns his back on his ethical commitment to his
