...Managing Business Ethics Ask business managers how to manage business ethics and they are bound to receive many answers or quizzical looks. How can managers educate employees about the importance of business ethics in the company? Integrating business ethics into an organization, one must first be able to understand business ethics. Trevino and Nelson’s textbook, “Managing Business Ethics Straight Talk About How To Do It Right” (2011), introduces students to this topic. As a result of many scandals in large corporations today, business ethics is fast becoming an important subject to many business professionals. Not only do they have to learn what constitutes ethical responsibility, but they also have to “understand and manage” (p. 2) it. Companies while trying to uphold a reputable image, slip when there is a profit to be made, and this results in disasters such as the “no doc loans” or “liar loans” (p. 6) and the resulting crash of the housing market. Agencies need to be in place to ensure people are not taken advantage of and coerced into loans that they cannot realistically afford. Trevino and Nelson define “ethical behavior in business as “behavior that is consistent with the principles, norms and standards of business practice that have been agreed upon by society” (p. 19). Many standards and policies were translated into laws, but there are also some behaviors that cross into the ethics realm not considered illegal. Also, some behaviors illegal in the United...

...BUS357 Starting and Managing a Business Assignment 2 – Group based Assignment January 2013 Presentation 1. Executive Summary This document proposes the feasibility of opening a new Pet Lovers Centre Franchise outlet at the proposed recreational hub at the site of the former Parkland Golf Range in 2014. We see a need for more pet friendly facilities at East Coast Park and we believe that of all the pet franchises operating locally, Pet Lovers Centre has the most compatible business practices and values with our intended business. With steady growth in both the pet population and pet product sales in Singapore, we are targeting the middle class segment primarily, with products priced between $1, up to $500. Our main focus is on dog owners who enjoy bringing their dogs out to play at the beach or park. With an existing market share of 49.7 percent, Pet Lovers Centre is well positioned to benefit from the increased exposure towards pet activities once the hub opens. Our financial projections show that the project will be financially feasible with gross profits of about $300,000 annually, and net income of about $100,000 each year. Our monthly breakeven point requires us to sell roughly 67 units of pet accessories with an average worth of $150, as well as 53 grooming and training appointments worth $350 per session to meet costs monthly. Our estimated starting capital required is $300,000, 50% of which will come from shareholders as equity and...

...Leadership: Managing Director of Hayasa In a small team of strangers, like the one thrown together for this module, the Managing Director should be the source of leadership and control over numerous responsibilities and functions of their team. • They should pursue the successful completion project goals. • They should keep the team motivated and happy, • They should ensure that the team is giving sufficient effort to the task. The Managing Director should be the most influential and important member of Hayasa car company. The behaviour of this person directly affects the behaviour of his or hers group members, therefore they must show certain key traits and attributes which will exert their leadership and control into the performance of the team, but also themselves. For Hayasa, the leadership was the key factor which influenced and built the group dynamics, the behaviour and motivation of the members during the practical, but also is what I believe the key problem to our lack of success in three years of trading. “The power and influence perspective focuses on the use of power by effective leaders. Two major themes have been identified: a) social power: how leaders influence followers (b) social exchange: discusses the give-and-take relationship between leaders and followers through which leaders are themselves influenced as they try to influence others” (Bensimon et al., 1989) My questions on the lack of social power our Managing Director would...
