If we don’t follow the laws, regulations, and conventions then we take responsibility for the action and accept the consequences. The fifth CRT principle speaks of support responsibility to globalization. The business should support improvement of domestic rules and regulations where they unfairly get in the way of global trade (Caux Round Table, 2003). This could be compared to White’s second guideline regarding honesty. Even though we will often be unsuccessful, our objective must be total honesty (White, 1978).
They get involved with their own desires for career success, as well as their desires for positive outcomes for their own countries. Doing poorly and conceding often requires that negotiators not be embarrassed; that is, that they "save face" for themselves personally and for their governments at home. Let's start this discussion with the famous leaders mentioned so far in the course: In the Week 6 readings you see their own need to "save face" for themselves and their countries. What are some of the great examples shown so far of "saving face" on the part of diplomats? What does "saving face" mean in diplomatic
Overall, I think filling the safety complaints was a great choice and that he did the right thing in doing that. The company violated OSHA and didn't take the complaints seriously. They also violated the employee by not acting on a serious issue. The courts verdict would reflect my job in this case because I would feel as If I didn't protect the employee and that I could of prevented the lawsuit. If I were a human resource manager, I would be ashamed and I would feel like I didn't do my job, and that I just ignored a safety issue that was serious.
In the primary interest of our entity, its incumbent upon employers to find a right balance between the exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine to avoid liabilities associated with the violations of the exceptions. The company in this scenario has grounds to terminate the supervisor, but I would issue him/her a written warning hoping that this situation can be resolved among us within our company. This is the case where the potential act of whistle blowing would help reveal the wrongdoing of the business world. I strongly believe that it takes a special person with strong morals to take the ramifications of whistle blowing. Losing a prized job, having to down size your life, and your life being wide open to scrutiny are effects of whistle blowing.
Paine states that, “ethics has everything to do with management” (Paine 106). In addition, she continues by saying that, “unethical business practices involves the tacit, if not explicit, cooperation of others and reflects the values, attitudes, beliefs, language, and behavioral patterns that define an organization’s operating culture” (106). While we were a small business with 10 employyes, Ms. Paine’s words are the truth. My Father was obsessive about behaving ethically at all times, and he never had a situation like mine in all of the year’s managing stores. He set the tone by demanding ethical behavior and holding people accountable if they did not live up to those standards.
Staying within the budget is very important for a company to measure growth. Purchasing expensive programs or systems can become a waste of company resources. A company will need to look into their assets, vulnerabilities, and network features before purchasing anything to ensure that it will fit their needs. With the proper security program in place all security threats that could harm the company will be revealed and addressed to further protect the Bloom Design Group Corporation. The Bloom Design Group will need to apply their best practices to ensure IT systems not only reach a known and trusted state but that they also preserve that state of compliance.
I recommend the company should respond to the former employee’s charge of constructive discharge by first apologizing. This former employee has had a negative impact on their life do to our company, and an apology would not hurt the situation. The government has various laws and statues pertaining to constructive discharge, management needs to avoid anything that could be misconstrued as discrimination in the work place. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to processes and techniques of resolving disputes that fall outside of the judicial process (Alernative Dispute Resolution Law & Legal Definintion, 2011). Legally, this could save the company bad publicity, a great amount of stress, and money that isn’t necessary to spend.

One of the flaws that the opposition notices is that in way shield laws afford extra privileges to journalists and that no citizen should be able to ignore a court ordered subpoena. Simply put, journalist would be placed above the law. Justice Department Official John Ashcroft stated that “reporters today are driven by their editors to deliver tersely written “scoops” usually whispered to them by individuals with political or self-serving agendas who refuse to be identified” and that they “should ultimately be held accountable for acting recklessly and irresponsibly.
