OMM 640 Ethical Dilemma and Ethics, Compliance and Training

/in /by

Discussion 1:

Gonzalez-Padron (2015) wrote,

Ethical dilemmas occur when a situation requires an individual to choose among alternatives that create a values conflict among stakeholders. In these situations, a conflict develops between the personal moral philosophy of the employees and the organization’s goals or culture. (Introduction, para. 4)

Organizations are always at risk for ethical dilemmas of some kind. Without revealing names of specific individuals, explain how an organization similar to the one you currently work in, or an organization that you may be aware of, is at risk for ethical dilemmas. Why is this? What other fields are at risk?

Discussion 2:

From a managerial ethics perspective and considering some of the areas that were brought up in Week Two, Discussion 1, consider the following statement by Hagel (2015):

The demand for greater transparency from consumers and stakeholders across the world has pushed the areas of ethics and compliance up the corporate list of priorities in recent years. In addition, the risk to reputation and potential damage that can be done if evidence of unethical practice is discovered have increased significantly with the advent of social media.(para. 2)

In addition, consider the legislation that was brought up in Chapter 4 of the textbook.

Your organization (you can represent Starbucks) has asked you to create a training presentation on ethics and compliance to be presented next week. Referencing the Hagel article, the Gonzales-Padron textbook, and at least two other journal articles, present an outline for your training as a response to this thread.

Read the article on creating supportive environments, “Including Children with Special Needs: Are You and Your Early Childhood Program Ready?”

Often in early childhood programs, the environment is seen as the third teacher as it guides and invites children to interact in various ways. As you reflect on this idea of the environment supporting children’s play, list and describe in your discussion three ideas that you would implement from the reading into your classroom that will support all children (e.g., smooth and predictable transitions).

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates. As you think about these environmental changes, how do you see these supporting children’s growth and development? Include how you see these environmental changes supporting physical, social-emotional, and cognitive domains. Name one new idea you gained from reading your peer’s work and how you might implement that change in an environment for young children. This might be a classroom, a museum, or a home setting. Give one suggestion to expand on their environmental strategies.

Carefully review the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.

Your Chief Nursing Officer has provided you a summary report indicating a steady increase in patient wait times over the last six months. You will need to identify the various resources available for tracking wait times, establish a clear bench mark and design a specific plan of action for reversing this trend.

These points should be a focus of your change initiative.

Infections that occur have the potential to not only affect patient care outcomes, but can also have a high impact to the financial operations of the organization if intervention must occur or the infection results in an extended hospital stay. Develop a plan to reduce and/or eliminate hospital acquired infections in a particular patient population in the facility.

3. Violence in the workplace is a hot topic in nursing and healthcare. Taking into account risk factors such as understaffing, family member’s anxiety, and inadequate security, devise a plan for improvement for your facility; ensure you include staff education and ongoing monitoring.

Organization structure for A travel agency and answer following questions

/in /by

I need to plan for my new organization called A Travel Agency.

  1. Write down the mission or purpose of the organization in a few sentences.
  2. What are the specific tasks to be completed to accomplish the mission?
  3. Based on the specifics in question 2, develop an organization chart. Each position in the chart will perform a specific task or is responsible for a certain outcome.

Please see a background below.

Organization is a way of gaining some power against an unreliable environment. The environment provides the organization with inputs, which include raw materials, human resources, and financial resources. There is a service or product to produce that involves technology. The output goes to clients, a group that must be nurtured. The complexities of the environment and the technology determine the complexity of the organization.

Just need a the introduction for the final paper.

You are a new associate at a CPA firm. Your boss has explained that a new client has come to the firm with a small but growing company that makes a granite cleaning product which is sold in several major retail stores. The client has been operating as a sole proprietorship, but now thinks that because of the growth of the company a different business entity might be advantageous. The client has also informed you that they have recently encountered a problem with their distributor. When the product arrived at the distributor’s location, the distributor rejected the product, saying that they have received complaints from consumers that the spray bottles did not work correctly. The distributor further stated that the bottles sprayed the product in a dangerous way that caused injury to several consumers.







Discuss this topic

/in /by

please talk about the downsizing/closing of major chain stores (ex. Sears, JC Penney, Best Buy, Gander Mountain, etc.) and provide support as to why you think this is occurring. Discuss the emerging online piece of strategy for all of these firms as well as for WalMart and Target (ex. Walmart recently purchased JET–why did they do that? Amazon recently purchased Whole Foods–why did they do that?). Take this discussion any direction you wish but do bring out what is happening from a strategic point of view.

An age-old question is “Does structure follow strategy or does strategy follow structure?” The new, successful firms appear to be on-line driven and not really interested in brick and mortar. Amazon is the obvious example. Does the rapid growth of Amazon and similar firms put pressure on Walmart and Target, etc. to change or can they still survive (can anyone still survive) without creating online revenue streams to go along with their traditional strategy of storefronts? Is Amazon a true Technology company? They never really developed or wanted to develop a brick and mortar strategy. Is ecommerce, in all its forms, the Blue Ocean of today (soon to become Red)? Is this truly the future, the destiny of retail and many other industries? These are just examples of threads/directions that you can discuss along with the many others that you all will develop over the time frame this board is open.
