... Individual Organizational Issues – Simulation Reflective Summary The ethical issues that were presented in the Week Three Ethics Game Simulations were from The Mysterious Blogger and The Veiled ID. The ethical issues on “The Mysterious Blogger” were whether the information obtained by Jamal Moore, the IT Tech was enough to discipline Aaron Webb, the blogging employee for violating the NDA policy. As for “The Veiled ID”, the ethical issue had to do with how to develop a security policy that provides for employees’ physical safety and accommodating special needs. The decision making steps taken to work on these ethical issues were based on the job position giving by the simulation. These decisions making were to protect the interest of shareholders and the effects on a long and short terms. Everyone who made a contribution or an investment to the company will be affected by any ethical issues that arise or are brought up by the organization or an employee. It will also affect the individual and the company. Apart from always doing the right things and following company’s rules, it is also about protecting the shareholders and the interest of the company. If the companies policies are broken in any way, a good decision has to be taken that will produce the best outcome in the situation, that way order and discipline will be maintain within the company. The ethical perspectives that were used to make the decisions taken during the simulation were based only...

...Ethics Game Simulation Luz Del Solar MGT/216 Lurleen Evans October 2011 Ethics Game Simulation Nowadays it is very hard to manage a business with good ethics and making profitable decisions at the same time, especially in a business world where the moral, values, and ethics are acceptable only after the profit is ensure. A valuable professional would make the difference and face the situations taking in to consideration ethics first. The ethics simulation game would provide two different dilemmas that would help the students to practice their managerial skills trying to make the best ethical decisions possible. In the simulation game, two dilemmas were presented. First the laboratory communicated to Quality Management that the analysis has shown that there is contaminant in the GBS – Fibranafren, which is an ingredient used in the majority of the company products. The results from the laboratory arrived after the products were already released and after taking into consideration the facts that everything indicates that the products are contaminated. However, the contamination is bellow FDA standards, and it would only affect a limited group of people with continued use of the product. The dilemma in this case is, whether the company should warn the consumers about the contamination and what kind of information should be provided to them. In the second scenario the FDA increased the official standards and under this new regulation the contaminated...

...Week 5: Confidentiality and Bioethical Issues (Nov 20 - Nov 27) Welcome to Week 5! This week, we discuss issues related to bioethics. Since the time of Hippocrates, “First Do No Harm” has been the medical mandate. It is the basic concept that drives all of the codes of ethics for the health professions. The concept is one of the first you learn in school. From this comes the duty to make ethical decisions “in the best interest of the patient.” While all medical professionals would agree that this is the goal, not all would agree on exactly what IS the best interest of the patient in a given situation. Healthcare workers—and specifically physicians—work hard to save lives. Many times, death is seen as a medical failure. Health professionals go to great lengths to preserve life with the assumption that saving the life—at all costs—is in the best interest of all patients. In the past, if that left the patient paralyzed or in a vegetative coma, it was still success - they were alive. Today, this assumption is being reconsidered as patients themselves demand to decide for themselves what is in their own best interest. Of particular interest is Oregon law which states, "an adult who is capable and has been determined by the attending doctor to be suffering from a terminal disease, and who has voluntarily expressed his or her wish to die, may make a written request for medication for the purpose of ending his or her life in a humane and dignified manner." In short, the patient can...

...The individual assignment this week was titled Ethics Reflection Paper. The focus of the paper was the role of ethics in the workplace as well as awareness of personal views regarding ethical behavior. Students were given the opportunity to participate in the Williams Institute: Ethics Awareness Inventory and the Williams Institute: Ethical Choices in the Workplace and discuss my results. This information was reflected in the paper. Furthermore, the focus was the importance of ethics in Strategy Management and the values of First Solar, Inc. The Role of Ethics in the Workplace Individual ethical standards reflect the importance of character, results, and equity and the ineffectiveness of obligation and rules. The individual rating was above the mean. Character, results, and equity are an integral component to ethical behavior in the workplace. Conversely, the personal rating is below the mean in regard to obligation. Ethical behavior is not a requirement. Obligation implies coercion to comply due to cultural norms and standards. Morality is an option. In order for a firm to ensure that ethical behavior is practiced by employees, the strategy plan must delineate the importance of individual decisions in ethical behavior. “A focus on the rules alone can cause a person to lose sight of the role ethical principles play when individuals are faced with ethical decisions” (University of Phoenix, Ethics Awareness Inventory, 2012). The results reflect ethical behavior’s...
