...author will identify personal values and professional ethics and examine ethical theories and principles. Examples of applications of legal and ethical issues to current practice will also be provided. Relationships Between Legal and Ethical Issues “Ethics is the branch of philosophy concerned with evaluating human action” (Guido, 2010, p. 3). It is based on the principles of right and wrong and provides structure to behaviors and actions. Ethics are closely intertwined with morals and values. Morals are “personal principles that are acquired from life experiences, family and peer relationships, religion, culture, and the law” (Guido, 2010, p. 3). Values are “personal beliefs about the truths and worth of thoughts, objects, or behavior” (Guido, 2010, p. 3). Therefore, ethics are subject to an individual’s personal interpretation. In contrast, laws are rules and regulations established by some authority and enforced by judicial decision (Dictionary.com, 2011). The legal system governs actions and behaviors without regard to personal values, beliefs, and views. Laws are constantly evolving to promote the greater good of society, rather than the individual within society as with ethics. In the health care setting situations often present itself in which both ethics and the law overlap and it becomes difficult for the health care professional to distinguish between the two. Nurses and health care providers can navigate difficult ethical issues by gaining a better understanding...

...This report is an analysis of a case study “Social Strategy at Cisco Systems” written by Mikolaj J. Piskorski, Daniel Malter, and Aaron Smith. It emphasis on a main concern, which is aligned with Cisco Learning Network and Internet of Everything (IoE) and is presented in a question; how can Cisco’s phenomenon of “Internet of Everything” be attained through Cisco Learning Network? The issue highlights the importance of Cisco’s strategic commitment of advancing and supporting the Internet of everything. The Cisco Learning Network, a social learning community focused on the IT industry, allows members to learn and interact with each other through a social platform. Whereas, the Internet of Everything is the networked connection of people, process, data, and things. Correlation of the two ideas can help Cisco increase certification by 2018 and retrain all of IT workforce; hence bringing major opportunities for the Cisco Learning Network. The report goes into further details by analyzing the three main reason of why this is an issue and what implicit opportunities does it present, who is effects of the main issue and what are the alternatives. Growth/expansion, competition, and future challenges and opportunity are three main point led to the goal of IoE (Internet of Eveyrthing) . Expanding the CLN (Cisco Leaning Network) and social platform, can attractive members all around the world and help develop ideas to attain IoE era.

...Strategic leadership capabilities Hitt et al. (1998) and Ireland and Hitt (1999) described the capabilities needed for effective strategic leadership in the new competitive landscape expected for the 21st century. They argued that effective strategic leaders had to: (1) develop and communicate a vision, (2) build dynamic core competencies, (3) emphasize and effectively use human capital, (4) invest in the development of new technologies, (5) engage in valuable strategies, (6) build and maintain an effective organizational culture, (7) develop and implement balanced controls, and (8) engage in ethical pratices. 4.1. Develop and communicate a vision First, strategic leaders–—hopefully in concert with others in the organization–—must develop a vision and communicate that vision broadly, to help guide the formation and implementation of strategies to achieve that vision. This form of guidance is important to establish the direction of the organization for its growth, types of products, and market focus, and to achieve the desired targets. Without the guidance provided by a vision, organizations can become chaotic and are unlikely to be as successful. 4.2. Build dynamic core competencies A core competence is a major capability to perform important tasks (e.g., a function) quite well, and makes a valuable contribution to a firm’s competitive advantage. A dynamic core competence implies that the firm continues to develop and update the competence to be the leader...

...CONFIDENCE IN LEADERSHIP THROUGH TRUST AND RESPECT Northcentral University The problem to be investigated is that in today’s business world, is there a need to use many different leadership styles in order to gain the trustworthiness and ethical stewardship required to be a leader in today’s diversified organization? According to Lussier and Achua (2004, p. 5), leadership is ‘‘the process of influencing leaders and followers to achieve organizational objectives through change.” Would it not stand to reason that in order to influence others, they must and should have to use different styles of leadership in order to achieve the ultimate goal- success of the organization? A leader who is flexible in their leadership styles and can just to the member personalities without injecting their own bias can prove to be an important asset to the organization. Transparency of characteristics of leadership, values, beliefs, religious views, and morals combine together make for a uniquely well-rounded strong and versatile leader that most people prefer to work with. The art of influencing others to get the desired results is no easy task. This task is a continuous effort of leadership behavior, consideration of others, commitment, and positive feedback. It takes a combination of leadership, trustworthiness and ethical stewardship in order to achieve success. The organization will have to do this without compromising their ethical values and beliefs. In today’s business...

It is clear that investments in technologies can generate greatly improved operating efficiencies, higher hotel revenues and enhanced guest services. The pace of change, however, has been so extreme as to leave many hotel organizations uncertain about what types of technology to adopt and the best ways to create a seamless integration of systems company-wide. In the current climate of reduced revenues and cutbacks in expenditures, introducing new products to the hospitality market is more difficult than ever. Companies in the hospitality industry around the world face a highly competitive environment in which differentiation and innovative customer experiences are key elements in improving...

...Oluwadamilola O. Adeyemi Dr. Msthali CIS 500 November 16, 2012 In comparing and contrasting using mobile technology to the ageless standard of in patient visits and all the procedures handled within the office or hospital setting, vital signs have been measured frequently to access the condition of a patient. Since the days of Florence Nightingale who is the mother of nursing, the standard in health care has been that taking the patients vital signs has always been a hands on in person experience. This at many times has caused days of agony and drudgery as you would deal with the discomfort of having to sit for hours upon hours in an office field with coughing, sneezing, hacking, wheezing and nauseous individuals. Each visit leaves you feeling that at any time, you may leave this office visit in a worst condition than when you came in. The assessment and monitoring of patient vital signs has typically been looked upon as one of the most routine aspects of nursing care. Monitoring patient vital signs became so mundane that usually the responsibility of taking the vital signs, even though ordered by a physician would end up being handled by a lowly Patient Care Technician. While in the hospital, vital signs are monitored on a scheduled basis. This is only interrupted if there is a change in the patient’s condition, the worse the change, the greater the increase in scheduled vital sign monitoring. However, this can also be affected by nursing judgments which...

Lance Moir Cranfield School of Management Lance Moir Cranfield School of Management Cranfield University Cranfield Bedford England MK43 0AL Tel: +44 (0) 1234 754374 Fax: +44 (0) 1234 752554 E-mail: l.moir@cranfield.ac.uk WHAT DO WE MEAN BY CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY? There is an increasing focus by firms on examining their social responsibilities. For example, Business in the Community published ‘Winning with Integrity’ in November 2000. This has as part of its objectives ‘to produce materials and resources on how companies should measure and report their impact on society’ (Business Impact, 2000). It lists twenty such initiatives in various areas of furthering corporate social responsibility, not including its own report. Similarly, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD, 1999) seeks to develop a clear understanding of corporate social responsibility, including a matrix of corporate social responsibility indicators. But what is meant by Corporate Social Responsibility (‘CSR’)? Responsibility for what and to whom and who is calling for firms to be socially responsible? This article examines the broad development of the ideas behind CSR within the literature and some of the current attempts to define the social responsibilities of business. It starts by examining the debate about the nature of corporate social responsibility...
