...products in third world countries. First, there is the ethical dilemma of business versus health. The opening and development of the tobacco business in Third World countries like China, Malaysia, Indonesia, India and Africa, is considered against the health consequences of tobacco use which according to an Oxford University epidemiologist, has estimated to cost 3 million lives annually rising to 10 million by 2050 without effective tobacco control program A second ethical dilemma is employment versus impoverishment, where the opportunities for work in the tobacco industry are considered against a background of malnutrition. This is a problem that is certainly worth consideration, but with those who have the power to change things reaping huge profits, I am not sure if anything will be done. 1. Use the model in Exhibit 1 as a guide and assess the ethical and social responsibility implications of the situation described Exhibit 1 is a decision tree. A model for incorporating ethical and social responsibility issues into multinational business decisions. The decisions are decided by the users’ responses to a number of relevant questions regarding the matter at hand. The first question the model asks is whether the decision efficiently optimizes the common good or benefits of the business firm, society, the economy, and the individual. From the tobacco business standpoint, the answer is yes it does. They are making huge profits my doing business in the Third World international...

...One of the cases of recognition of Hasan’s crime as a terrorist attack is Bakker & de Graaf’s article “Preventing Lone Wolf Terrorism: Some CT Approaches Addressed.” Similarly to Hoffman, the authors consider the case to be the one of “leaderless resistance,” “freelance terrorism”, and “individual terrorism.” Respectively, Hasan is qualified as a lone wolf terrorist, i.e. the one that “acts on his or her own without orders from — or even connections to — an organization” (Bakker & de Graaf, 2011). This type of terrorism, the authors admit, has become increasingly popular since the beginning of 2000’s, and has actively been used by the radical Islamic...

...McDonald’s started as a small business in the USA in the 1950s (Stonehouse, Campbell, Hamill & Puride, 2004). Today, it has grown to be a global phenomenon with 34,000 restaurants in over 118 countries (McDonald’s Australia, 2014). Through this expansion, McDonald’s has faced the challenge of transferring a symbol of American culture to places where there are significant national, cultural and religious differences. This essay will analyse some management issues that McDonald’s has experienced. Firstly, the strategic debate regarding global integration versus national responsiveness will be examined. Associated with this issue, is the matter of diversity across different regions. Finally, the essay will consider McDonald’s corporate image of social responsibility in relation to environmental sustainability and increasing problems of worldwide obesity. McDonald’s as we know it today is a result of Ray Kroc taking the entrepreneurial hamburger ‘stall’ established by the McDonald brothers, and franchising the business with Ted Turner to create an international organisation (McDonald’s Australia, 2014). In the 1950s there was significant domestic growth in the United States of America. International expansion began in the late 1960s and 1970s, initially targeting Canada, the United Kingdom and western European countries of Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden (Stonehouse, et al, 2004). The first restaurant opened in Australia in 1971 (McDonald’s Australia, 2014). In 2001, McDonald’s...

...The purpose of this report is to explore the cultural determinants of both Japan and United States. The report elucidates the differences between the two countries in terms of leadership styles as influenced by their respective different cultures. The reason in selecting Japan as one of the research countries is because of its deep rooted strong cultural beliefs and group centered style in a business perspective. It is well known to the world that Japan is a closed economy but at the same time, extremely competitive. On the other hand, United States make a good contrast in terms of its open culture and individualistic style of doing business. Despite the differences, both are amongst the most competitive and successful nations in the world. The compromising Japanese and confrontational Americans do make this research journey an exciting and interesting one. Different cultures exist in the world and their impact on leadership styles in their respective countries is significant. As defined by Luthans and Doh (2009, p96), “Culture is the acquired knowledge that people use to interpret experience and generate social behaviour.” And culture is gained through transmissions between individuals in forms of symbols, rituals, languages, stories told and etc. It will be interesting to find out that the countries’ cultures do in fact influence their leadership styles to quite a great extent. In this report, two entirely different cultures; Japan and United States will be explored in...

...Paul Bass D . EID: pdb586 Writing Assignment Final Draft Due Date: Mar 5, 2014 by 12am Housewife vs. Courtesan in India In the early 20th century, life as a woman in Indianociety S (and in the rest of the world at the time) was not glamorous. The common consensus was that a woman’s natural place was to be within the domicile and that women held less power than men, despite all their contributions to the family. “In the average Indian family the strictest domestic economy is the rule of life, and the household work is done by the women of the household” (Temple 64). It was a woman’s job to keep the household in order, raise the children, and keep her husband satisfied. “vulnerable in a maledominated world”, marriage was considered an impending fate for women as India’s workforce was primarily male dominated omen , w were dependent on men for financial support (Nijhawan 103). Getting married was also a must for women and was seen as the only ‘respectable’ course of action in a womans life. Widows in Indian society were treated poorly and had a low social standing, even though they had followed all respectable social norms “How much the women dread widowhood is exhibited to the full in the fact that to call a woman a widow is to offer her a dire insult” (Temple 65). The courtesans of the time seemed to live outside of these sociocultural norms. Analysis of ...

...and Catholic religions do have similarities, they also have differences, such as their services, communion, and views regarding salvation. The Catholic Religion - The world has more than one billion Catholics and with the ever growing population, it will only get larger in number. To be a Catholic means to have complete faith in God and his divine grace. Having God's divine grace means to obey it and keep it holy as it was created by God and given to his people. The religion itself is based on this and the people take it very seriously. Catholics believe that all people are of good nature but when one commits a sin it not only hurts that one person but the people and the Church....
