The author of this article, Jeannine Aversa, is stating that key economic indicators point to the likelihood of a recession. Aversa supports her thoughts by noting the real GDP; “crawled at a 1.3 percent pace in the opening quarter of 2007…even weaker than the sluggish 2.5 percent rate in the closing quarter of last year.” The author suggests the main cause of the economic slowdown is due to “the housing slump.” Consumer expenditures are driving the economy, but Aversa worries about a “fallout from risky mortgages and rising energy prices.” Uncertainty of the Feds actions concerning the interest rates is leading to lower investment spending. The author also states that the Feds decision on raising or lowering the interest is due to the
They do this because they do not want to raise their prices so they can stay on the top of market. However Tesco has different pricing strategy of getting their profit so the indicators like inflation or GDP do not put big impact on or prices. That’s because we are global company and we set our prices not bases on average national economy prices but we set our prices similar in all counties pretty much without looking at the exchange rates.

Before they made any decision, they should hold an ethical meeting about the improvement of fuel tank, if they would change their mind by paying more then people would not have to die. In this case, I think Cost-benefit analysis should not be use in this case, because it is very unethical and inhumanity to determine a number of life that have to sacrifice, just because the unwillingness of Ford to pay more for the adjustments of fuel systems. When applying cost benefit analysis in this case study, Ford will either improve the fuel tank or chosen not to go ahead with the fuel tank adjustment, then at least 180 will burn to death, 180 will be injuries, and 2100 vehicles will be burned. Ford was making a decision based on numbers that seems to be right, but it is allowing a certain number of people to die or be injured even though they could have prevented it with paying more for the alteration of fuel tank. This seems to be a disregard for human life.
It is ethically wrong for them to keep it, regardless of if they were let go from the company. Further, this connects with Deontology in that if they were to keep the money from their former place of employment then it may become universally acceptable. As Kant states, “An individual must act as though his or her action would become the general rule of society.” Keeping the money would set a bad example for others in similar situations and may even lead to society believing it is acceptable to “swindle” from their employer. In order to follow a standard of morality and ethics it would be in their best interest to return the money to their former employee rather than risk their reputation and the negative trend that they could set for
Suppose that Cornelius believes that Elliot is not a good hire for Pharma. Can he fire Elliot? Although Adams may have had the legal right to hire Elliot without the consent of the others, it was a morally wrong decision not to seek the consent of the other shareholding partners. As a privately held corporation which is small in size, the promotion of business efficiency is an objective best served by enabling the owners to arrange the organization of the enterprise as they choose unless such decisions are outside the scope of the partnership business which would make it impossible to
Evaluation of Company Q’s Current Attitude towards Social Responsibility Jennifer Salisbury Western Governors University Evaluation of Company Q’s Current Attitude towards Social Responsibility Section A: Evaluation Company Q’s current attitude towards social responsibility is being perceived as a costly nuisance that they are avoiding. The lack of concern in assessing the organization’s current culture is apparent due to the recent store closures in the higher crime rate areas. Also, consumer requests are not being addressed in a timely manner, and if they are, it is below satisfaction, by offering a bare minimum of high-end products. The fact that a local area food bank approached Company Q should have set a new standard in its conduct
Under this situation, if the other members just conform blindly for the fear of being left alone by others, the out-of-date food sold in the market might hurt the health of the consumers and negatively harm the company’s long term benefit in the end. On the other hand, there is also another reason why we should avoid conformity that is because to conform blindly to the former conclusion might limit the process of innovation. Think about all the great inventions in human history, none of them is result of conformity but instead they are the result inventor’s innovation and the result of breaking the stereotype. Only by getting rid of conformity can we increase the speed of a society’s

Which Wall Street did not have in place or this would have never happen. Their virtues are money, how much they can get no matter what it costs others in the long run. Proof of this is the bail out that the taxpayers paid for. And that the government had to step in to or the economy would have been even worst.
