The Express store currently in Kava is currently a basic store and unable to meet the needs of the island. Expansion of the store would introduce new products to the community that would provide assistance during a disaster. With expansion come questions from the stakeholders. With Kava having the ability to be involved in a great amount of disasters stakeholders may not think expansion is worth the risk. However stakeholders must understand the putting the community first outweighs the cost.
There was no method that I could be informed about the drug companies trying to further speed up the process of drug approvals so it makes sense as to why I was being misled. The perspective that I have on the pharmaceutical companies has changed drastically. Before taking this course, I was naïve to believe that although pharmaceutical companies were just like any manufacturing company, they still had their best interest in the health care of their consumers since they are making their product to better the health of
Ethical Issues in Business - Objective 310.2.1-05 Evaluation It is clear that Company Q has protected its shareholders investments as well as the company’s profits by closing failing stores in high-crime areas which were consistently losing money. However, there are many areas in which Company Q has not lived up to their ethical duty to be social responsible, by failing to have a positive effect and not making attempts to decrease their negative effect on society. The lack of response to consistent customer requests for more healthconscience and organic products demonstrated a complete disinterest in their community’s health, customer satisfaction, and consequently return business. Lack of return business creates revenue loss, and affects both the business and the shareholders. When the requested products were finally available in the stores, the prices of the products were very high and the product variety was extremely limited.
The author fails to take other opponents of Natural’s Way into consideration. Thus, it is very likely that competitiveness in healthy food markets in P is tremendous sharp, while Natural’s Way has no advantages to outweigh its opponents to fire for a success battle. If that is the case, a new store in P, just as the author claimed, might not be a sensible decision, though healthy food and related healthy products are badly needed in
Many companies selling these products make claims, for example, that creatine monohydrate is poorly absorbed and or poorly metabolized by the body. This is simply untrue: research has found that creatine monohydrate is highly absorbable. Some claim less “bloating” or other supposed effects of monohydrate, but don’t have a drop of data to support the claim, or even a feasible theory as to why their form would not have the effect vs. the monohydrate form. They often claim dramatically improved absorption over monohydrate (without data), fewer side effects (without data), the ability to reduce the number of non-responders to creatine (without data), etc. Are you starting to see a theme here?!
These treatments, with limited Medicaid reimbursement, will place RUMC at a great disadvantage. So the combination of uninsured individuals and the lack of Medicaid reimbursement will indeed affect RUMC in a negative manner. Of course the lack of funding will not be disregarded. Nothing is free, and unfortunately, the needed funds will be at the expense of taxpayers. Rush will continue to treat uninsured patients, and eventually the accumulation of unreimbursed costs for health care services will be shifted to taxpayers.
Cranfield Inc. (B) Capital Budgeting I. Problem Statement Cranfield, Inc. had Maria Lopez and Robert Walker analyzed a lite cranapple cocktail project. However, they failed to analyze the risks, which play an important role for the company to decide whether to accept the project. Cranfield’s executive committee then required a new analysis on the risks of the project. In this report, the background of the project, the alternatives of the project, the analysis of the risks (both in general terms and applied to the lite cranapple project), and recommendations for their decision will be discussed.
It was during this time that the American Red Cross could have showed the country that they were an ethical company. However, many began to question their ethical practices because of how they responded to the crisis. As a result of this, their “benefits of business ethics” was destroyed. ARC failed to properly manage and monitor employees and volunteers which lead to the occurrence of fraudulent activities. There was also a lack of communication amongst FEMA and ARC, which contributed to slow response times in both instances (347).
Patients who were admitted came to the hospitals much sicker, and you had more folks to care for at the same time, with less help. This was not fair to you or those in your care. Conclusion Managed care was born out of a good idea, basically to help curb the rising cost of health care. In essence it should have been the answer. But because of the greediness of some just as in other models what started out as good ended up not being able to provide the quality care at an affordable price like was promised.
GlaxoSmithKline Case Study Identify ethical lapses that may have impacted product quality at GSK. GSK’s billions may benefit many stakeholders but certainly cannot prevent lawsuits. Ethical lapses have cost GSK dearly, but more to the detriment of consumers, have impacted product quality. Two of GSK’s drugs, Paxil and Avandia, had their research trials ‘fixed’ to either falsify outcomes or ‘gloss over’ results. The antidepressant Paxil, while alleviating the common symptoms of depression, was found to aggravate side effects, such as “birth defects” and “suicidal tendencies” (page 439).
