...Apply the Ethical Decision Making Method at Small Unit Level 158-C-123 Conditions: As a leader faced with a situation which requires you to make an ethical decision. Standards: Resolved the situation ethically by appropriately applying the Ethical Decision Making Method FM-1 FM 6-22 AR 600-100. Training and Evaluation Guide Performance Steps: 1. Clearly define the ethical problem. Im sure many people would consider not informing their chain of command of this situation given the circumstances(new to the unit and SFC Sharps reputation) and the fact that SFC Sharp is on his way out of the unit. However the ethical dilemma for me is, do I confront him, alert the chain of command or contact the Military Police to launch an investigation. 2. Employ applicable laws and regulations. Im sure that the 99th INF BN has established SOP's for found documents and false reporting. I would likely follow that SOP to the letter. Given SGT Days' proposal i could be inclined to think that this may happen often therfore i would also be considering investigation even if its not apart of the SOP. When classified documents are reported destroyed and arent Im sure my chain of command would support this 3. Reflect on the ethical values and their ramifications. First things first, I will not compromise my integrity with SGT Day, his first impression of me cannot be one that puts my integrity into question. This incident will be reported...

...December 7th, 1941 the United States was attacked at Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces. American forces already stationed in the Philippines as a deterrent against a Japanese invasion of the islands, were attacked by the Japanese hours after Pearl Harbor. With more than 72,000 American and Filipino soldiers fighting with outdated weapons, lacking supplies, stricken with disease and malnourishment were forced to lay down their arms to the Japanese on April 9th, 1942. This was due to the promise of reinforcements after General MacArthur and a few select officers evacuated the island on orders from the president. The Japanese however had only accommodated for 10,000 to 25,000 thousand POWs and the Us and Philippine soldiers were forced to march 60 miles to the Cabanatuan and Bataan prison camps. On October 20th, 1944 General Douglas MacArthur’s forces landed on Leyte, as Americans prepared for the main invasion of Luzon the Japanese captors continued to execute their prisoners. Several plans were submitted for possible rescue attempts of the prisoners but most fell through simply due to logistics or possible traders amongst the ranks of the Philippine guerillas. On January 26th, 1945 major Bob Lapham, the American US Army Forces Far East senior guerrilla chief and another guerilla leader Juan Pojota, traveled from his location near the prison camp to the Sixth Army headquarters. Lapham proposed to Lieutenant General Walter Krueger’s intelligence Chief Colonel Horton White that a rescue...

The basic function of any language is to serve as a means of communication. In this context, the purpose of accounting is to communicate or report the results of business operations and its various aspects. Though accounting has been defined in various ways. According to one commonly accepted definition. "Accounting is the art of recording, classifying and summarising in a significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events which are; in part at least, of financial character and interpreting the results thereof'. Another definition which is less restrictive interprets accounting as "The process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic information to permit informed judgements and decisions by the users of information" 1.2 SCOPE...

...9-906-415 REV: NOVEMBER 14, 2006 CHRISTOPHER A. BARTLETT VINCENT DESSAIN ANDERS SJÖMAN IKEA’s Global Sourcing Challenge: Indian Rugs and Child Labor (B) After more than a decade spent struggling with the issue of child labor, Marianne Barner felt good about how IKEA had responded. But occasionally, she found herself wondering whether the progress the global furniture retailer had made was real and durable. Just as it had in the mid-1990s, in 2005 the company could still find itself on the defensive in dealing with the issue. Even more troubling to Barner was that after 10 years of working to prevent child labor among IKEA’s suppliers— introducing a clear code of conduct, developing internal controls and third-party audits, training its suppliers, supporting their corrective actions, and instituting stiff sanctions against offenders—the company was still finding cases of child labor in its supply chain. The latest issue had been drawn to Barner’s attention by Kaisa Mattson, the head of IKEA’s compliance office in south Asia. Like Barner herself a decade before, Mattson was facing the decision of whether to terminate a relationship with a long-standing major supplier. This one, however, had violated not one but several items in IKEA’s detailed code of conduct, known as “The IKEA Way on Purchasing Products”—or IWAY for short. Venkat Industries was a textile mill with over 10,000 workers, and a recent audit had shown that it had stopped using the water treatment plant it had...

...projects with which they have been acquainted. Although not a comprehensive compilation of failure causes, this article outlines several areas that should demand your attention. few years ago marked the rollout of what could have been called a Titanic of military projects, except the original Titanic was ahead of schedule when it sank. Hundreds of millions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule, the first phase of this huge military system was finally "tossed over the wall" and over the top of a network of separate programs used by thousands of practitioners. Although long hampered by quality problems, big hopes were again riding on the system once it passed acceptance testing. The intended users refused to use the system. It lacked features they said were essential to their jobs while requiring steps they considered unnecessary or burdensome. The project eventually died a visible, painful death amid litigation and congressional inquiries. This failed project was not atypical of chronic problems in the software industry. According to the Standish Group [1], in 1995, U.S. government and businesses spent approximately $81 billion on canceled software projects, and another $59 billion for budget overruns. Their survey claimed that in the United States, only about one-sixth of all projects were completed on time and within budget, nearly one third...
