...Mike should identify who will primarily be affected by his ethical dilemma (in this case and Dianne).He must reach out to her and explain the situation 3. Mike checks down the actual occured time and simply tells his senior(Alex) about how he was not comfortable with eating time. What are the pros or potential upside of each alternative you listed above? Alternative 1: Dianne may be impressed by him on finishing on time and Mike and Alex may receive good evaluation. 2. Dianne may appreciate Mike's honesty and grant him more time. 3. Alex could be in trouble however the future staff auditors won't be pressured too much and this may help seniors learn more about young staff auditors What are the cons or potential downside of each alternative? Alternative 1. Since Mike ate time, the seniors won't learn their lesson and they'll continue to put pressure on the future staff auditors and the next year budget will only be six hours. 2. Dianne may say the same thing as Alex and Alex will probably get angry at Mike for going around his back to talk to Dianne. Mike may risk his future at the company. 3. Mike may still risk his future at the company or at least get a bad evaluation. Both of those will make his school look bad. What are the implications of "eating time" for Mike, the firm, and others involved?

...What are the greatest ethical challenges for Hyundai? Over the years Hyundai has had its share of ethical challenges to overcome. Probably the most notable of these challenges was the prosecution and subsequent conviction of the Chairman, Chung Mong Koo in 2006 for embezzling funds. Chung was essentially responsible for turning Hyundai into the global success that it was and is today so this had an enormous impact on the future of the company. He was accused of making questionable deals that benefitted him and his son and he was sentenced to three years in prison; however in September of 2007 he was granted a suspension of the three year prison sentence due to the fact that his imprisonment and the impact on Hyundai would negatively affect the Korean economy. Chung promised to donate $1 billion if he was freed and in February 2008 he was re-elected as the Chairman of Hyundai Motors. According to the text, this behavior is that of an immoral manager. Chung was obviously not interested in what was “the right thing to do” but was more interested in his own best interests and that of his family. He put the reputation and image of Hyundai at risk. However, given the economy in Korea and the political issues that exist there he basically got a slap on the hand and was allowed to be reinstated. This ethical challenge of immoral behavior did have some impact on their reputation; however given the fact that they are still one of the leading auto makers in the world, obviously...

...Thesis: The challenges of being a single parent include managing finances, responsibilities and resources The challenge of being a single parent has become harder over time. The fact is that over time things have changed but not for a single parent. Statics show that there has been a steady rise for five decades and that the births to unmarried women has crossed a threshold. An example of this would be, a single mom that can’t provide day care for her child because her income is not enough to pay the bills and day care. The challenges of being a single parent include, managing finances, responsibilities and resources, their work is never done nor are their struggles. One of the challenges a single mom has raising her son and daughter would be getting up at 4am taking 3 buses to transport her children to her mother (who lives on the other side of town). Spending 2 hours getting there and another 3 buses and a hour and a half getting to work. There is a limit on everything she does because she does not have the opportunity to get an education, she has to work and provide for her family. Pawning valuables to make ends meet when money is short, living from pay check to pay check. Child support is another challenge for a single mom when the children’s father does not work, all the financial responsibility is on the single parent. Another challenge to a single mom is that because she is a woman, to keep from being taken advantage of, she will pay more money for rent to keep...

Change in a new career is very scary and thought of going back to school that I have not attended since my oldest daughter was born was even scarier. Not only those challenges occurred but during this time I was engaged and married a few weeks before I was laid off. Now I have brand new family to care for, my wife, her two kids and my high school daughter came to live with us. Moved in to a one bedroom apartment with 5 people, no job, receiving unemployment, my wife also had no job except for what she receives for her son’s SSI got really challenging. Yes, of course negative thoughts and negative attitude started settling in. Job application after job applications no calls and no interviews for 4-6 months.

...| Overcoming The Challenges | What lies ahead for the new pediatric satellite clinic | | Abstract The purpose of this document is to discuss the opening of a new pediatric satellite clinic in a place of my choosing. For this document, I will be choosing Charlotte, NC; which is close to my hometown. This essay will discuss several challenges that lay ahead with this project, such as; recruiting and retaining staff; types of services and resources; building rapport with the community and surrounding counties; finances and profitability of the clinic; technology; and compliance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations. These challenges will also be further broken down and explain ways that administration can overcome these challenges so that the project is successful. Lastly, there will be a discussion on specific skills and knowledge that administration needs to utilize when opening the new clinic and to manage staff. The decision to expand the Pediatric Community Care Center has provided other communities the chance to receive quality care close to their home. This decision also poses great risks and challenges. Overcoming these challenges will be no easy feat; however, with careful consideration and implementing the right course, this project should be a success. The new Pediatric Satellite Clinic will be located in Charlotte, North Carolina. This area has a population of around 773 thousand, with around 20% of that population being children...

...Women face greater challenges at the workplace. Do you agree or disagree? Write an essay, giving reasons to support your viewpoint. A photograph recently caught my attention. It was a mother carrying her 18 month old daughter in one hand and a document in the other. What’s special about it? She is a member of the European Parliament, Licia Ronzulli, and this photograph was taken when she was addressing the parliament. This epitomizes modern motherhood, and takes multitasking to new dimensions. Just stringing together the two words “women” and “workplace” automatically conjures the third word in our mind- “Challenge”. But as work places are constantly evolving, what one perceives as a challenge is indeed changing. A few decades ago nurse , receptionist or secretary was all a working woman could aspire to be. Any woman who dreamed beyond was ridiculed and her integrity was questioned. Corporates viewed women as weaker and less committed than male counterparts. “Lady Candidates Need Not Apply”- was the common last line in job advertisements. Those 5 words in a ‘TELCO’ advertisement sparked Sudha Murthy to send the famous postcard to JRD Tata in 1974 saying “I am surprised how a company such as Telco is discriminating on the basis of gender”. When I first walked through TML factory, I wondered how Sudha would have felt 37 years before, knowing that hers were the first feminine footsteps there. Did she possibly know then that she had taken a giant leap for her kind in TELCO...
