...Ladreka Daniel PAD 500 November 16, 2011 Case Study of George Tenet George Tenet was the director of the central Intelligence Agency from 1997 to 2004; it was a very trying time for the Clinton and Bush administration. Tenet would cover many things in his career and that would have a major impact on the terrorist attacks of September 11 and U.S. invasion of Iraq. There were many intelligence directors that sever before him, but none that were more establish or had a drive for controversy. During George Tenet career, he played a big role in many events, such as invasion of Iraq and reorganization of the nation’s intelligence. Tenet involvement with the White House decision making, intelligence priorities, and his own agency kept him occupied (DANIELSON). George Tenet dealt with many cross coded ethical dilemmas, which were in violation of national and international human rights. He was also faced with ethical dilemmas and his dishonest to the People within the government. Tent was a laissez for Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Yasser Arafat was an ethical concern to the United States. His involvement with those ethical dilemmas left a bitter impression on his effectiveness in more ways than one. When the CIA administrator chooses to act as laissez faire among Israeli prime minister and Yasser Arafat, some of his affiliates inside of his administration did not see it in a positive way. Tent always acts as though he was the best man for his position. This...

...GEORGE DAVID Case No. 1 CASE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What makes George David such a highly regarded manager? George David can be a highly regarded manager because he has a good vision and strategic in management. He knew that values are very important in management. It is not about only about achieving goal through people but also about how people and organization has good values. He is a risk taker and creative thinker; he changed the system in organization so that he can control the performance of every division easily. He was respected because he had respected people first. From the text we know that he was not only demanding, but he was a good listener too. As a good listener, I’m sure that George David has always tried to listen to his employee’s story and feeling. It makes people really respected him. He also respected anyone who worked hard as what Sandy Weill said “when somebody can’t do the job, he’ll try to help; but if that person is not going to make it work, that person won’t be on the job forever and with all over George is not only had managing skill but also good on character. 2. How does George David get things done through people? I think in this case there are 2 objects, ‘the things’ and ‘the people’. To make something done through people, he must have ‘the things’, a goal, what the organization want to do, something clear and realistic. Even a great manager and employee can’t take that all if the goal is not clear and absurd. Another one is...

...Applying Ethical Codes: Case studies Case Study 1 George Babbage is an experienced software developer working for Acme Software Company. Mr. Babbage is now working on a project for the U.S. Department of Defense, testing the software used in controlling an experimental jet fighter. George is the quality control manager for the software. Early simulation testing revealed that, under certain conditions, instabilities would arise that could cause the plane to crash. The software was patched to eliminate the specific problems uncovered by the tests. After these repairs, the software passed all the simulation tests. George is not convinced that the software is safe. He is worried that the problems uncovered by the simulation testing were symptomatic of a design flaw that could only be eliminated by an extensive redesign of the software. He is convinced that the patch that was applied to remedy the specific tests in the simulation did not address the underlying problem. But, when George brings his concerns to his superiors, they assure him that the problem has been resolved. They further inform George that any major redesign effort would introduce unacceptable delays, resulting in costly penalties to the company. There is a great deal of pressure on George to sign off on the system and to allow it to be flight tested. It has even been hinted that, if he persists in delaying the system, he will be fired. What should George do next? Case Study 1: Relevant Clauses Principle...

...George Washington's Greatest Challenges George Washington's Greatest Challenges Good Morning, Everyone. My name is Jeremy Beltran, and today I will be talking about George Washington. At the time of the American Rebellion Washington was a great leader of the continental army. Following his role as a leader he was elected as the first president of the United States of America. Yet, he had two issues that became his greatest challenges; the military and government development. One of the issues Washington faced was with stock for the military forces. There was an old saying. "amateurs study tactics while professional warriors study logistics." (Facts about Washington, n.d., Para#6) Not being able to provide the army with all the required material effected combat efficiency. As an active duty member myself receiving required materials is what I would expect the government to focus on. As well as it being conducted effectively. "George Washington urged congress and the thirteen states to replenish the desperate need for the following items: shoes, shirts, blankets, and gunpowder." (Facts about Washington, n.d., Para#6) Yet it became difficult for him to get these resources due to the selfishness of the thirteen states. It seems George Washington was adamant about the military, and if he wasn't so strong willed it may have consumed him. During the Valley Forge winter military camp of 1777-1778 it became very difficult to get supplies to them. "Rather than snow and cold temperatures...

...Development: MGT 585-02W Fall 2013 Case Analysis Does this milkshake taste funny? George Steins’ Ethical Dilemma * Discuss all of the reasons why you believe George might act unethically and remove the filters, allowing the maggots to remain in the mix. The first reason George might act unethically is due to Social Learning Theory. “Analysis revealed that perceived learning opportunities were shaped, enabled, and constrained by a variety of social, cultural, structural, and process-related imperatives. This was manifested through two learning systems: (1) a formal learning system directly managed by the organization and (2) an informal system that was fostered through strong social networks and driven by the organizational culture. From this investigation, we posit a social theory of learning, which encompasses sharing knowledge and experience through social interaction” (O’Toole, 2011). This is an article for developing learned systems by the Australian Army in their ‘fighting for knowledge’ campaign to understand learned systems in a military setting. Using a focus group of over 150 armed personnel to understand some of the cultural and social systems enforced. Social theory is a theory that states that we learn through observation and our direct experiences with others (Robbins. 2013). The social learning theory is enacted by both formal learning systems, decreed through management, and informal social networks. In the case George is faced with an ethical dilemma....

...In the case, George Stein is a college student who was employed by Eastern Dairy during the summer. George Stein found Eastern Dairy was lack of quality control and quality management, so he was faced with an ethical dilemma. I will analyze the case from George‘s perspectives. George’s position required him to remove the filters form the plant’s piping and allow the current production run of milkshake mix to be contaminated with maggots. On the one hand, if George could do Paul told him to do, he can have many benefits. George can go on the good job to make money and he can avoid to study. He could go back home on time. And, Working at Eastern Dairy seemed relatively easy for him since it paid twice the amount he used to earn in his previous job. One the other hand, if refuse to remove the filters, and report the maggot problem to management, he will have some advantages and disadvantages. First, he would be happy because he can avoid all innocent kids to drink milkshakes contaminated with pulverized maggots. Also, he will win praise from all kids’ parents because of social responsibility. However, he have some disadvantages about the job.

...Literature Review The study of organizational justice refers to the perceived outcome of fairness in the workplace. Organizational justice come in three forms: Distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice. McShane refers to distributive justice as the perceived fairness in the individual’s ratio of outcomes to contributions compared with a comparison other’s ratio of outcomes to contributions. Where as procedural justice is the fairness of the procedures used to decide the distribution of resources (McShane, 2013, p. 155). Interactional justice was also first introduced as the sensitivity to the quality of interpersonal treatment they receive during the enactment of organizational procedures (Bies & Moag, 1986). Distributive justice refers to the perceived fairness of the outcome. This was primarily based off the equity theory: a theory explaining how people develop perceptions of fairness in the distribution and exchange of resources (McShane, 2013, p. 156). This meaning an individual perceives whether or not there is a fair ratio between their inputs and outcomes. An individual’s input can range from numerous things such as: knowledge, effort or experience in exchange for outcomes such as: rewards, recognition, pay or satisfaction (Foster, 2008, p. 26-27) Procedural justice focuses on the fairness in the procedure in which resources are distributed. The first way to improve procedural justice is to give the employees a voice thus making them feel...
