I will describe moral and ethical issues faced by managers dealing with this type of situation including how these issues affect other people. I will explain how the relationship between social issues and ethically responsible management practices apply to managers as role models. I will provide a workplace example of an ethical dilemma involving a manger as a role model as well as what laws govern the managers actions. There are many moral and ethical issues faced by managers dealing with managers as role models. Many of these issues also affect other people. Some of the moral and ethical issues of being a manger as a role model are that you have to be very careful what you do and say and especially how you act. When you are a role model for your employees it is very important to keep a professional persona. I have seen many managers that abuse their position also. When a manager abuses their position It makes it difficult for the other employees to respect you and they no longer will look up to you as a role model. Being a role model is a very important role as well as being a manager. You want your employees to respect you and look up to you. It is tough being a boss and not everyone is cut out for it. All of these issues can and will affect other...

...XMGT/230 Week 6 Assignment Organizational Structure One organization that I am very familiar with as a consumer and as an ex-employee is Walmart. Walmart is one of the largest non-union successful corporations in the United States. Walmart’s organizational structure, organizational function, and organizational design make it a place consumers rely on for a number of things and for a number of reasons. The organizational structure of Walmart is fairly simple for a corporation as large as it is. Walmart’s organizational structure can be defined as a geographic structure, in which divisions are created to support the needs of customers in a particular region, country, or world area. (Jones: Introduction to Business: How Companies Create Value for People) Walmart as we know it here in the United States operates in a number of different countries under numerous names, all the same corporation. Walmart consists of three main business divisions. These include Wlamart United States, Walmart International, and Sam’s Club. These main divisions are the core of its’ organizational structure. From these divisions leadership and management is then regionally developed and divided into regions of each division all the way down to store managers. The headquarters of this nearly billion dollar corporation still lies in the state of Arkansas where it was began, which would make Walmart United States the top division of the three. This organizational structure is for a global...

...Memo To: Senior Management From: Dana Armijo Date: April 25, 2015 Labels on water bottles There has been an issue that needs to be addressed concerning the labels on our water bottles. We got a call on how the label on our fresh spring water shows a mountain and says it is fresh water. After reading the fine print they realize that it is not from freshwater spring. They say this is false advertisment. I am looking at this situation closely and realize that we need to move some things around on the label. We are known for the mountains on our labels and I do want to keep that image. We keep the fresh spring water logo. On the back I think that we should put the facts of how and why we have fresh water. After doing some research I found out that it is ethical for us to show the facts and show that we do have natural spring water. By showing the facts that we have natural spring water we will be confident and stand out against the other companies that look like they are hiding something Mineral water must not contain less than 250 parts per million of total dissolved solids. It has relative proportions and a consistent level of minerals and trace elements stemming from the moment the fresh water was removed from its source. Spring water is fresh water that comes from an underground formation where water naturally flows to the earth's surface. Purified water is water that has been distilled, deionized, had reverse osmosis or gone through a similar...

There are internal and external factors that can hinder and improve the experience. For example let’s use B-EZ T.V.s, a manufacturer of televisions. As a business manager for B-EZ T.V.s you have four basic functions; planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. There are many internal and external factors that may affect managing the company. Part of the success of your job will depend on the strength of your employees. Sometimes hiring dependable, hard-working staff can prove challenging, especially when the demographics you need to hire are in short supply. Population growth can greatly affect your ability to hire younger more innovative employees. On the up side of that theory an increase in population can provide an abundance of qualified individuals, as well as an increase in the demand for televisions. Due to economic reasons employees past retirement age may choose to remain in the work place because they cannot afford to...

...Identify a time in your life when you had to make a personal or professional decision, such as buying a home, changing jobs, enrolling in school, or relocating to another state or region. Write a 200- to 300-word description in which you discuss your decision-making process. Support your ideas with academic research. Include the following: • Describe each step of your process. • How similar was your decision-making process to the one described in the text? • How might your decision be different if you had used the same steps included in the text? I recently decided to purchase a new “used” car from a dealership. I didn’t want to go up there and have the salesmen to walk all over me because I am a female and do not know the first thing about vehicles. I decided I was going to do my research and plan this large purchase out every step of the way. I knew I wanted a Dodge Avenger, so I began researching the value of the car, as well as what the listed price was a dealerships around my town. The planning process was similar to the text, but I did not anticipate enough for the future as to what the car would be worth three years from now as I am still paying it off. I did focus on the value and how well the car would suite my every day needs, which is discussed in the text. I may have used different internet resources and expanded my search further than my town if I had followed the same steps as the text. All in all, I did purchase a good car that was worth what I paid....

...Internal and External Factors D. Rams XMGT/230 8/10/2015 Beverly Williams Internal and External Factors There are four functions of management; planning, organizing, leading and controlling. Planning happens within these functions and helps to deliver strategic value to a business. Organizing builds a dynamic business, and leading helps to mobilize employees. Controlling is a part of learning and changing as a business grows and expands. All four of these functions are necessary and are key factors to having effective management. Internal and external factors influence the decision-making process, which therefore affects management. Competitive landscapes are constantly changing, so managers must consider businesses and people from around the world. Globalization, innovation, technology, diversity, and ethics require comprehensive planning, and are essential in every aspect of management. One such organization is Apple, who uses strategic planning and organizational tools to successfully manage and market technology. Globalization is an external, driving factor that has a major impact on the way managers run businesses. It is the result of a notable increase in cross-border trade, cultural exchange, investments, emergent economies and population growth (New World Encyclopedias, 2008). Globalization affects the four functions of management directly, or directly affects the core competencies...

...The ethical dilemma that I faced happened around ten years ago when I was the manager of a sporting goods store the summer of my first year of college at the university of Toledo. I got the job because of being an athlete my entire life and I love being around sports so for a summertime job I figured being football player for Toledo it would be beneficial for the store and myself to be a part of the team and also to help increase profit and sales because of my athletic background. Well after about a month of working there I had become pretty good friends with many of the employees that also worked there with me. We all bonded pretty quickly because of athletics being our common bond. At play it again sports people traded in there used sports equipment for newer stuff they would get either consignment, trade, or cash all based on condition and also based on market value of the products being traded. After a couple months I started to notice golf products and summer sports products missing granted as an employee we were allowed to sign out any used golf item to take out and try and the goal of that was to be able to give customers imput on how the club or clubs felt played and worked on the course. But as an employee you were only allowed to take out clubs for no more then 72 hrs because of potential profit loss/customer loss as well. A couple of the employees were putting more money into other items people were trading and basically in a way stealing another product because...

...Ryan Matzek Management Theory and Practice Professor Gregory Peterson 01-12-2014 Organizational Chart I currently work at a company called Co-ax Technologies Inc. The experience I have had with this organization has been very satisfying. I think that they have good communication and coordination within the company and they are very organized with the changes that are going to be implemented and introduced to the employees. I do enjoy the working environment and the new position I have obtained. I will be part of the decision of changes that will take place and watch how much the business grows. It is an honor to be part of the process and see how well it works for the company. This company is set up with a differentiation. The specialization takes effect by having a group of people performing specific parts of the larger tasks. In my company, the computer boards have several different processes that they go through before they are ready for the customer. All of the employees in the different departments will have a higher authority to report to. We have a different department for each one of these processes and one person per department is a team leader. The team leader is the one to go to if the employees within the department have any questions or issues that need to be addressed. If the team leader does not know the answer, you can go to the department supervisor and they will be able to resolve the issue. The department managers communicate with the plant...

...As an operations professional, you need to be able to interact effectively with many internal customers—from corporate managers to field representatives. One of your peers is Jessica, who is a talented operations professional but who is downright rude to her internal customers. Her attitude is so bad that people around your company ask specifically to deal with you instead of Jessica. You’ve heard many tales about her sarcasm and her unwillingness to deliver anything other than the absolute minimum to other employees. You’ve thought about talking to Bruce, the manager to whom both you and Jessica report, but you and everyone else knows that they’re dating. In the meantime, your workload is increasing because of Jessica’s reputation. How do you handle Jessica and Bruce? The ethical issue is Jessica and Bruce are dating and Bruce is in a managerial position. This is making it hard on everybody involved. It is making hard on you because he is the manager that you and Jessica report to. Jessica is not doing her job very well and you need to take this problem to her first. You will try and make her see your point of view in a professional way; don’t make an enemy of her. Try as a friend to make Jessica see what is going on, this can be done by explaining that this could be a problem that the other employees could make hard for you and her. They could go to Bruce themselves and as we don’t want to make Bruce’s job any harder we could settle this between the two of us. If she...

...Business Ethics Across Cultures XMGT/216 May 24, 2015 Diane Garvey Business Ethics Across Cultures The first article I read was about business ethics in China. According to this article, the Chinese value gifts and actually see them as a form of respect by the person giving the gift. Chinese people also believe in sages rather than a single God and they believe everything should be in harmony. These people place a special emphasis and are even dependent on the relationships of relatives and friends while attaching importance to the feelings of others. They see all relationships as lifetime commitments. In China, privacy is not highly valued, as they tend to work in groups rather than individually. This culture is made up of introverts who would rather sit in silence with courtesy, which is highly valued, rather than confront an issue. In marketing and advertising, the Chinese tend to value inner beauty and wisdom over looks and exaggerations. Chinese people do not like touching and actually avoid eye contact as a form of respect for one’s personal space. When making a deal or negotiating any business with the Chinese people, it is inevitable that such meetings will be carried out over food and drinks as they work to form lasting friendships with the people they do business with. Since they do not like the pressure of making strictly contractual arrangements, they avoid doing this over a meal. By eating with potential partners, it takes some of the focus off of contracts...
