...1001 Assignment Title: Assessment 1: Critical Essay Tutor’s Name: Sean O’hara Tutorial Day and Time: Wednesday, 9AM Name of Company: Samsung Electronic Title: Samsung Electronic Social Performance Semester/ Campus Details: Trimester 2A 2015- Singapore Word Count: 1505 words Introduction Nowadays, doing business is not just a matter of earning profit as much as possible, but the entrepreneur should be able to do business in the right way, which is getting the expected profit along with fulfilling the society needs (Okpo 2013). Most organizations have realized and believe that it is important for the company to engage with the society since giving back to the society will create value for the business itself (Miluwi 2015). Having that in mind, according to Broomhill (2007), the organization should think that profit is beyond the objectives without doing business in ethical and socially responsible ways. The multinational corporation, Samsung Electronics is a division of Samsung Group that was established in 1969. Samsung Electronics aimed to enter the television and consumer electronic industry. At first, Samsung Electronics only produced black and white television and then they developed it into several electronics products. In the last decades, Samsung Electronics also manufactured, shipped and sold the products throughout the world (Reference for Business 2015). However, the bigger a company grows, the more challenges...

...Governance in Non-Profit Healthcare MGMT 640 Executive Summary Good leadership, financial management, and governance are the essentials for success in any organisation, whether the organisation is a non-profit organisation or a for-profit organisation. In non-profit healthcare the seamless interaction of all the parts makes the organisation successful as a whole. Service provided must be consistent with the goals of the organisation. Agencies and watchdogs have become even more visible seeking accountability and transparency. But how do leaders within the organisation work together to make it a success, how are they governed to achieve the goals of the organisation? In for-profit effective governance is easily recognisable, and achieved. The most important element in an organisation that operates for profit is its balance sheet, great sales and rising stock prices, profits being paid out as dividends, no mention of fraud in the company accounting, these are all excellent indicators of effective governance. In non-profits more so in healthcare, it is terribly difficult to measure or see effective governance. Also, the idea of optimum efficiency may have differing connotations for each stakeholder. Non-profits benefit from the luxury of not having to suffer agency conflicts; nevertheless they must ensure that there are measures in place that ensures transparency. Based on the five (5) overarching strategies suggested...

...Greenwashing According to Paetzold,(2010) greenwashing can be described as when you are trying to convince people that you are doing something good for the environment by being involved in small environmentally friendly initiatives, which in some cases can be used to hide environmental damage you may be causing. In this essay I will extend on greenwashing, supporting the definition. I will explain the reason a company may commit greenwashing, using a lot of TerraChoices’ ideas about greenwashing for support. I will also analyse the different forms (the sins) of greenwashing, supporting these ideas with examples of some of these sins being committed by various companies. Concluding the main body of my essay I will include some various ways greenwashing is attempting to be addressed, in particular by the federal trade commission with the green guide. According to TerraChoice (2010) there was a growth of 79% between 2008 and 2009 green products. With green marketing increasing, greenwashing is also increasing. Lane (2013, p.168) states greenwashing can be described as making false or misleading claims regarding purportedly friendly products, services or practices. As a result to the increase in knowledge of climate change and a range of other environmental issues consumers demand that products are more environmentally friendly and are sustainable. This has led to the increase of businesses to engage in greenwashing, or falsely advertising their products. The reason that greenwashing...

...Essay mill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An essay mill (also term paper mill) is a resource that allows customers to purchase an original piece of writing on a particular topic. Customers provide the company with specific information about the essay, including: a page length, a general topic, and a time frame with which to work. The customer is then charged a certain amount for each page. [1] Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Products and services 3 Legal status 4 Criticism and controversy 5 Strategies for combating academic fraud 6 See also 7 Further reading 8 References History[edit] The ideology behind term paper mills can be dated back to the mid-nineteenth century in which "paper reservoirs" were located in the basements of Fraternity Houses. Otherwise known as "Fraternity files". these essay banks were practices in which students shared term papers and submitted work that had been done by other students.[2] These essay banks inspired the commercialization of ghostwritten essay-writing practices. As early as the 1950s, advertisements were circulating college campus that described services that included ghostwritten work for dissertations, theses, and term papers.[2] In conjunction with this practice, the changing attitudes of students in the 1960s and 1970s started to stray away from diligent and engaged course work because they saw an emphasis on the benefits of community involvement. A new focus on activities outside of the classroom took away from...

Berin Date: 06-25-14 Course: BS Accounting Technology Year & Section: 3B Instructor: Elizabeth Bauzon Assignment #1 CS 212: Fundamental of Information System and System Development 1. What is an information system? What are some ways information system are changing our lives? * A combination of hardware, software, infrastructure and trained personnel organized to facilitate planning, control, coordination, and decision making in an organization. 2. How would you distinguish data and information? Information and Knowledge? To distinguish between data and information you need to know what each one means. Data is the raw material for processing and refers to unprocessed information. Information is processed data. Information is that which informs that from which data can be derived. Information is conveyed either as the content of a message or through direct or indirect observation of some thing. That which is perceived can be construed as a message in its own right, and in that sense, information is always conveyed as the content of a message. Information can be encoded into various forms for transmission and interpretation. Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning. Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. 3. Enumerate...

...The Toxic Workplace Organizational Behaviour Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the inter-relationship of incivility and toxicity, how bullies are able to become toxic managers, and how they are allowed to develop in a toxic organization. We also analyze the development of organizational pain and how toxin handlers deal it with. Finally, we hope to assess if there is any validity to claims that ‘Generation Z’ is responsible for the recent prevalence of workplace toxicity. What is a toxic workplace? Overview of Toxicity: “Violence, aggression, bullying, tyranny, harassment, deviance, and injustice …” (Cortina 2001), the ‘magnificent seven’ anti-socialites comprising Workplace Toxicity. A relatively new field of study, the idea of workplace toxicity develops from the impact of bullying, and the emotional consequences it has on the organization. There has been surging interest over the past two decades on the cause and effect of bullying in the workplace (Rayner, 2002); and an ever-growing number of studies, since Leymann in 1990, would suggest that interest in this field may be attributed to the increase of disgruntled employees and employee violence which became prevalent in 1986 (the USPS incident in Edmond, Oklahoma). “There are three inevitable results of toxic workplaces: Poor Performance, Severe Health Issues, and the Loss of Talented Employees. “(Amy Scholten) A toxic workplace can be essentially summed up as any organization...
