...Value Alignment Learning Team A Michelle Bolte, Jason Rodriguez-Galarza, Ryan Worsham, Jennifer Patton, Carol Odom BUS/475 March 24, 2014 Ryan Simpson Value Alignment Organizational values are established by the individuals that develop the business and are carried out in the plans and actions of employees and executives of the firm. Although there are inevitable differences between the two, alignment of individual and organizational values help to shape the culture in which the company operates and often the direction of the firm to include both long-term goals and the strategic short-term methods by which they are reached. Below we will analyze how organizational and individual values are reflected in the plans and actions of the Coca Cola organization. Individuals are born amoral, without established values. As each matures and evolves, they develop a sense of moral obligation and a system of values that derives from the people and cultures that they are subjected to.

...Case Chapter 14: Coca-Cola What do you think is the most important emerging issue in the design of work? In my opinion, some of the most important issues that are emerging in the design of work are the specific aspects of a job. Telecommuting, alternative work patterns, technostress and skill development are some of these issues.
