...Business Ethics and Globalization Checkpoint Robbie Cartwright Organizational Ethics and Social Responsibility XMGT/216 February 24, 2012 Jeoffrey Bispham Business Ethics and Globalization Checkpoint The globalization of business has presented various ethical issues. For example, there is more interaction between the people from different cultural backgrounds. In addition, the need for adequate support and cross-cultural training with clear guidance about goals and expectations associated with the overseas jobs is vital to the success of the expatriate manager (Trevino, 2007). Ethical issues, such as dealing with payoffs and bribes, child labor, or worker safety can be different in other countries. The expatriate manager or employee must be trained in the workings of the cultural and governmental beliefs and laws. Child labor may be an ethical issue in America, but is allowed in another country. At the same time, business negotiations based upon bribes and gifts might be allowed and encouraged in yet another country. The manager must understand and recognize that perceived similarity can cause failure because of the lack of preparation for the cultural differences (Trevino, 2007). Being familiar with the culture and the study of the target country’s governmental structure can enable the expatriate manager’s development of effective ethical codes and guidelines.

...eventually closes the sale. Ethical issues arise when the tactics used by the salesman are revealed in an email sent by the VP of sales, Jeremy Silva, celebrating the success of landing the account. This paper explores and describes how to identify risk factors for ethics problems, and how once identified determining steps to mitigate that risk. Employee actions should be conducted with honesty, full disclosure and the upholding of confidentiality. While the actions of Chris Knox in the World-Class Bull Case may be deemed to have crossed the line the mitigation of his actions should have been handled differently. The responsibility of this “could have crossed the line” behavior lies with management, specifically the sales manager and secondarily the organizations lack of proper ethics training. Building relationships and friendships with potential and current customers is all part of being a salesman. The question in this case is whether the success of Chris in landing the deal was because of the friendship he had deceptively formed. While it is permissible and advisable to forge friendships with potential and existing customers, care must be taken in order to not allow these methods to appear deceptive. “Questionable ethics, specifically within the sales...

...Design Scenario 1: Adam’s Peak GROUP A1: Nikolce Mitrevski Joe Doyle Shihab Khan Zhenpeng Dong October 20th 2014 ABSTRACT The purpose of this scenario is to reduce the amount of waste along the “Adam’s peak” mountain. The local population of various cultures as well as tourists have failed to recycle or properly dispose of their wastes that they bring onto the mountain and Group A1 aims to significantly eradicate this waste and provide a long term solution to keeping the waste down on the mountain. Transportation is the main issue on the mountain as the only access remains by foot, and the combustion of the waste by use of steel drums in-situ causes a pollution issue, which raises a serious concern for the future of the mountain. Group A1 found the best way to resolve the issues on the mountain is to create a solution at the source of the waste. The group found that installing a gate at the base of the mountain and charging access would provide a cost-friendly and effective solution. The caretakers would then provide recyclable bags to the population entering the mountain, which then would pickup rubbish along the mountain until the bag reaches full capacity. Upon returning to the base of the mountain with a full bag, a rebate would be offered for their contribution in collecting waste. The idea is that the population would be paid for their efforts in assisting to the mountains health and waste collection. Coupled with extra signage, installing of a compost...

...opinion over rights and duties of press. The media owners and journalists are always of the view that there should be liberty of they are bound to the futile rules and regulations and have no freedom to express the truth. On the other hand the ministries of the information argue that they have given extra ordinary freedom to the press. In fact these two opinions are the two extremes. The situation is in between these two states. Media insists on knowing more and more in order to astonish their viewers and readers. There is a lot of evidence that media aggrandize the matters always or conceal facts due to some overt purposes. Each and every country has formulated laws to control the media. There is code of conduct for the journalists everywhere but many a journalist does not observe this code just for winning the report. There are also many evidences that media created stir among the masses without any basis. The decades old stunt of Skylab and oft quoted aliens with their flying chariots are a few examples. The media crosses its limits and the states act. Sometimes the dictators clip the feathers of the...
