...Chapter 1: Perspective on Business Ethics and Values * Identify the good, tragic, comic, satirical and farcical elements in the way in which people and organization deal with matters of ethics and morality * Stakeholder theory * Business case for business ethics * Arguments about the moral status of business and organization Moral conflict between self-interest and public duty, between social and environment duty what takes precedence? Should a business case be proven before an organization commit to appeal fund or should behave in a socially responsible way, beyond the requirement of law because it is the right thing to do? It would seem logical that a company would benefit from socially responsible conduct such as renewable resources, promoting fair trade, empowering gender fairness in employment and support the community in which they operate. However, the translation of benefits into economic profits is not guaranteed. For some consumers the buying decision is influenced by the social image of the company but by the value they get from the trade. Various factors can be employed to measure the corporate social responsibility performance are Dow Jones Sustainability Index, SERM rating and EIRIS. Stakeholder Theory: What responsibilities or obligation does an organization owes to its stakeholders? How should an organization cater to the competing need of different stakeholders? What legitimate interests justify a group of people being regarded as stakeholders...

...Issue: Confronting Ethical Dilemmas Review of Subject: Situation 1, Problem Statement per Assignment 2 Description Kay Smith is one of your top-performing subordinates. She has shared with you her desire to apply for promotion to a new position just announced in a different division of the company. This will be tough on you since recent budget cuts mean you will be unable to replace anyone who leaves, at least for quite some time. Kay knows this and, in all fairness, has asked your permission before she submits an application. It is rumored that the son of a good friend of your boss is going to apply for the job. Although his credentials are less impressive than Kay’s, the likelihood is that he will get the job if she doesn’t apply. What will you do? Discussion Given the situation, it would be best to initially take a utilitarian view to consider what the greatest good for the whole team is. In addition, consideration of the situational context and the issue intensity would help to determine the appropriate level of response. Since Kay is a top performer, it’s not advised to replace her. It would make sense to recommend against her request, but to ensure that she understands her importance to the organization. Then, it would be applicable to take a justice point of view to ensure fairness for her in two folds: 1) Interactional: Thank her for reaching out to request permission and commend her for the initiative and interest to grow her career. And then, provide transparency...

...com/articles/2014-08-06/what-to-do-about-a-bad-yelp-review Article summary When you are an owner or manager of a company your ethics and values are a huge role in how you represent your title and your company. That is one of the jobs you take when accepting a position as a manager or owner. What you say or do could affect your company in a positive or negative way. To be a good manager you always take the route that will satisfy your customers. When, Chris Wagoner, owner of the Union Street Guest House in Hudson, New York wrote a clause in his guest book for his customers he did not get positive feedback from individuals. The clause in the guest book stated that if any guest wrote a bad review on Yelp the hotel could charge you $500. Once this news got out on other websites many individuals got offended even individuals who had never stayed at this hotel. When word got out to Wagner about the rage individuals had towards his clause he issued a comment to say the policy was a joke however this comment did not satisfy the customers they were still offended. To ensure this does not happen again Yelps website now deletes comments that do not follow their guidelines. Clark states that about 3,000 reviews for the United Street Guest House have been erased. Relevance to the Material This article is relevant to chapter three of our textbook because it ties into the ethical responsibilities required as a manager that is talked about in chapter three. In order to avoid negative ethical behavior you need to always think...

Investors have a right to know, while stakeholders have a right to their livelihood. Where do we draw the line (9)?” Corporate Bankruptcy Explained Bankruptcy is a judicial process to provide an individual or a business that no longer can pay its debts with relief from financial obligations. It distributes a debtor’s property equitably among creditors and enables the debtor to start afresh. Federal bankruptcy laws govern how companies go out of business or recover from crippling debt. The most common bankruptcies are Chapter 7 liquidations and Chapter 11 reorganizations. Under Chapter 7, the corporation must stop conducting all operations and goes completely out of business. A court appointed trustee liquidates the company’s assets and the money is used to pay off the debt...

...striving to find answers to them in the textbook Business Ethics by Denis Collins. The first two chapters come down to the practice of ethics in the workplace. In chapter one of the textbook, the first question that starts to find an answer is what is the right thing to do? Starting with an ethical dilemma that seems viable on page three, a small company faces buying a design that might increase sales, but show support for a criminal that has become an antihero. This raises questions about what is ethical on many moral standards. Does the business wish to show solidarity with the community? Should that be a guiding factor in the businesses conduct? Should profits be the deciding factor in behavior, if the behavior is legal? This case study shows that the right thing to do is not always the easy thing to do. The definition of the right thing can become a murky issue. The question needs analyzed and understanding what the implication of acting or not acting will be when faced with a dilemma. Unfortunately, there seem to be more questions than answers. Certainly more complicated than the definition of ethics given on page five. “Ethics is the set of principles a person uses to determine whether an action is good or bad” (Collins, 2012. p5) On page four Collins points out one of the best definitions for ethics in business. “Service to others, one of the most admirable ethical standards, is at the heart of business operations” (Collins, 2012. p4). The sentiment of serving...

...Excerpted from The Tracks We Leave: Ethical and Management Dilemmas in Healthcare, Second Edition, by Frankie Perry, RN, LFACHE (Health Administration Press, 2013) CHAPTER 1 Understanding Your Ethical Responsibilities Hea lt h c a re l eader s and those aspiring to be leaders must recognize first and foremost that character and integrity constitute the very cornerstone of leadership. Organizations have failed and promising careers have been derailed when ethics have been relegated to secondary importance or, worse yet, ignored in the pursuit of more bottom-line considerations. Healthcare managers must understand their role and responsibility in creating an ethical healthcare environment that is honest, just, and always in the best interests of those being served. Whether you are the CEO, an assistant administrator, a department head, a program manager, or a clinician, if you are “in charge,” you have the ultimate responsibility for establishing the culture and setting the standards of conduct in your sphere of influence. This task is not always an easy one. Nor is it easy for well-intentioned managers to always make ethical decisions themselves. BARRIERS TO ETH ICAL D ECIS I O N M A K I NG In our book Healthcare Leadership Excellence: Creating a Career of Impact, James Rice and I identify some of the common barriers to ethical decision making and seven pitfalls for managers to avoid (Rice and Perry 2013, 29–37).
