I am concerned that even the owner doesn’t care enough to ensure the safety and well-being of his employees as he said, “You cannot prove that there is an explosion hazard here. You should only come to me when you know definitely that there is a safety issue. I will consider anything else as slander against me and my company. I do not take too well to disloyal
What would be the consequences for each stakeholder for each of the alternatives? CEO won’t know truth about system. Joe might lose job for not listening to Mary. His family will suffer from his unemployment. Nothing will happen to Mary.
Personal Values Ethics in business practice is critical to the longevity and livelihood of an organization. Without a true understanding of the ethics and values by which a company abides, one can never be successful within the organization. Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) has a distinct understanding of what is important to their organization and the people who run the organization. In this paper I will discuss my personal thoughts on ethics based on the Williams Institute Ethics Awareness Inventory (EAI) (2006) and relate how my ethics and values align with a managerial position at Kudler Fine Foods. Recently, I had the opportunity to use a tool to test one’s perspective on ethics.
The organization has a separate code of ethics for their partnership program. Microsoft defines what they feel is unacceptable behavior when conducting business in the company behalf. Some of those include: not allowing unauthorized copying, distribution, or use of computer software under any circumstances. Microsoft also recognizes that if a partner is caught doing any of these offenses, they will be held responsible for their actions. The ethical program that Microsoft has in place is very effective.
1. Which internal and external stakeholders are positively and most negatively affected by Micky Arison’s decision to avoid contact with the media? The Board of directors was the ones who were negatively affected by Mr. Arison’s decision in keeping quiet because to the outside world people assume if they aren’t talking that means something is being hidden from customers. Going through that type of assumption can cause a lot of issues for future customers to purchase a cruise ticket from them. The competitors were the ones who were affected positively in this situation because it gives them the opportunity to pick up the customers, since there was an accident in that ship line and now customers are not going to want to purchase from that
He also failed to communicate effectively his plans to his boss and his co workers. The reinforcement theory comes from E.L. Thorndike. According to Blanchard and Thacker (2007), Thorndike stated that behavior which results in pleasant experiences tends to be repeated while behavior that results in unpleasant experiences does not. (p.69) In this case, Rick’s behavior resulted in an unpleasant experience (loosing his job). We can draw the conclusion that Rick will not repeat the same mistake of not communicating
Camenisch’s view is that the goods and services are the center of the business ethics for they promote the profit. However, the goods and services must be in the interest of all persons and all future generations of people. Business should not use resources irresponsibly at the risk of leaving nothing for others. It should be the focus of business ethics to interact within society while enabling “its members to flourish, specifically that part which deals with the provision if the material means for sustaining and enhancing life.” (p. 288) D. W Haslett’s argument is that inheritance is unjustified. Wealth is the accumulation of money that is passed on to future generations which is different from income which is the money earned in one’s lifetime.
Political competence is what can really make the CC part of it shine and in turn CC will make political competence shine. Political competence is one of the skills necessary to apply good cooperate citizenship. Both are related to ethics. Whereas good corporate citizenship is about an organization acting ethically toward society as a whole, political competence is one of the necessary skill required to apply good cooperate citizenship, which is a number of related skills. Good CC, for example, a company CEO of a HCO defines good corporate citizenship as meeting the growth and demands placed on health companies by society in an economically, environmentally and socially responsible manner (“The Power to Change: Mobilizing board leadership to deliver sustainable value to markets and society”, 2001).
The demographic makeup of leaders differs from organization to organization which reflects in policies and procedures differing and resulting in no concrete principles for all organizations to follow (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011). If no organizational policies and procedures were in place, the organization would be susceptible to major problems which could undermine their profits or bottom line. By having these organizational policies and procedures in place, employees are aware of the significant consequences that can result if unethical activity occurs, which can include or lead up to termination of employment. Also, these policies and procedures lay the groundwork for defense against frivolous lawsuits set off by employees who have acted
This will cause a lack of consistency in teaching from the management side and discipline of the employee in balancing both clients and management. Every district manager might not have the same goals for each salesman. District managers may have different expectations on how the salesman should perform during a sales call. This could be why each manager had different records of Marsh’s performance written down in the reports. When Marsh started working with Ted Franklin, it made a negative impact on his attitude towards his career.
