According to the dictionary Ethics is the “moral principles that govern a person’s behaviour or the conducting of an activity” cite here;; Ethics very simply are beliefs of what is right or wrong. Essentially what is good or bad and considerable what is considered to be ethical behaviour something that conforms to our personal belief about what is wrong or right. The interesting thing about ethics is it something that is kind of in the eye of the beholder meaning people have a different based on their personal belief. Unethical behaviour on the other hand something that does not conform to an individuals belief about what is right or wrong which is based on their moral values and also their social context in which they grew up in. so for example,if you grew up in home where it was considered to be okay to maybe forge on your tax returns ,then the likelihood is when you grow up ,tax forgry will be an acceptable behaviour to you.

...Competition The moment of truth was upon me. The official times, this includes whom qualified for finals, for the 400m relay had been posted. My eyes scanned the page for the bold letters that spell ANDERSON. As I ran my finger across the page to where the times were posted, my ears began to shut out all outside noises, leaving me alone with the thump of my heart and the inhale and exhale of my lungs. Both began to increase in speed as my eyes narrowed in on the time. My sophomore year had begun and I wasn't sure whether or not I was going to do track this year. Last year I played football in the fall and soccer in the spring. Not really enjoying it, the decision was made to play " real futbol" (soccer) in the fall, leaving the spring sports season open. My friend kept telling me how fun track was, so I decided to give it a try. As the first meet neared, things were going well. I made it onto the 4x100 team making me the third fastest kid on the team. The other members of the relay were Jason Schmidt, Jeremy Willard and Rodney Schmidt. Jason and Jeremy were both the top dogs and Rodney and I were second from the bottom of the barrel. The 400 relay was my best event. We placed in every meet and even took home some medals as the season progressed. As the track year rounded for the home stretch, we had only three more meets to compete in: the Tiger Invitational, regionals, and state. As the Tiger rolled around, there arose a question of whether or not to keep the...

...The Pacific Oil Company “Look, you asked for my advice, and I gave it to you,” Frank Kelsey said. “If I were you, I wouldn’t make any more concessions! I really don’t think you ought to agree to their last demand! But you’re the one who has to live with the contract, not me!” Static on the transatlantic telephone connection obscured Jean Fontaine’s reply. Kelsey asked him to repeat what he had said. “OK, OK, calm down, Jean. I can see your point of view. I appreciate the pressures you’re under. But I sure don’t like the looks of it from this end. Keep in touch—I’ll talk to you early next week. In the meantime, I will see what others at the office think about this turn of events.” Frank Kelsey hung up the phone. He sat pensively, staring out at the rain pounding on the window. “Poor Fontaine,” he muttered to himself. “He’s so anxious to please the customer, he’d feel compelled to give them the whole pie without getting his fair share of the dessert!” Kelsey cleaned and lit his pipe as he mentally reviewed the history of the negotiations. “My word,” he thought to himself, “we are getting completely taken in with this Reliant deal! And I can’t make Fontaine see it!” Background Pacific Oil Company was founded in 1902 as the Sweetwater Oil Company of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The founder of Sweetwater Oil, E.M.

...Choices and Evaluation Christel McCrory STR/581 April 23, 2012 Professor Frank C. Bearden Strategic Choices and Evaluation Target Stores Strategic Choice and Evaluation The first Target Store was opened in 1962 by the Dayton Company. Though there were other discount chains in the US at that point of time, many of them do not exist today. Target was able to adapt itself to the changing environment and by 2002; it was the second largest discount retailer in the US (Target.com, 2012) http://www.icmrindia.org/casestudies/catalogue/Business%20Strategy/BSTR164.htm] In June 2002, Target Corporation (Target) had 1,330 retail stores in 47 states of the United States. Even though it only had a fifth of the sales and profits of Wal-Mart, it had a loyal customer base that was looking for a trendy, yet, affordable range of merchandise (Hays, 2002 pg. 2). Target's customers, whom it referred to as 'Guests', were younger and more affluent than that of its rival Wal-Mart | | An early strategic choice to build a brand around the Target name fostered the company's steady growth. From the very beginning, George Dayton's strategy was to position Target as an upscale discount chain at which the prices would be just above the lowest prices. To achieve this upscale image, it offered trendy and stylish goods in an environment that was bright and attractive, unlike other discount stores of the time (HBS Working Knowledge, 2004 para 2). Once a generic strategy is selected Target will...

Capital Mortgage Insurance Corporation (A) © The McGraw−Hill Companies, 2007 Case 1 Capital Mortgage Insurance Corporation (A) Frank Randall hung up the telephone, leaned across his desk, and fixed a cold stare at Jim Dolan. OK, Jim. They’ve agreed to a meeting. We’ve got three days to resolve this thing. The question is, what approach should we take? How do we get them to accept our offer? Randall, president of Capital Mortgage Insurance Corporation (CMI), had called Dolan, his senior vice president and treasurer, into his office to help him plan their strategy for completing the acquisition of Corporate Transfer Services (CTS). The two men had begun informal discussions with the principal stockholders of the small employee relocation services company some four months earlier. Now, in late May 1979, they were developing the terms of a formal purchase offer and plotting their strategy for the final negotiations. The acquisition, if consummated, would be the first in CMI’s history. Furthermore, it represented a significant departure from the company’s present business. Randall and Dolan knew that the acquisition could have major implications, both for themselves and for the company they had revitalized over the past several years. Jim Dolan ignored Frank Randall’s intense look and gazed out the eighth-floor window overlooking Philadelphia’s Independence...

...BIRD’S EYE VIEW SWOT Analysis of easyJet easyJet is Europe’s leading low fares airline. Formed in 1995 by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, it has grown rapidly to become Europe’s fourth largest airline by passengers carried. Sir Stelios has credited easyJet’s success to two strategic imperatives. The first was “sweating the assets”, that is making sure that the planes were as full as possible and flying as much as possible. The second was a sophisticated yield management system which would set an infinite number of fares for a given flight, based on the demand and supply position for that flight. The prices for the seats fluctuated depending on the demand for them at a particular time. easyJet was the first LCC to start the sale of its airline tickets online. In 1999, Stelios was voted London Entrepreneur of the Year at the London Electricity Londoner of the Year Awards. In the same year, easyJet was voted «Best Low Cost Airline» by readers of Business Traveler magazine for the first time. easyJet was selected as a Business Superbrand by the Superbrand Council which recognizes companies with an outstanding brand name in November 1999. Other Superbrand companies include such globally-recognized names as Virgin, Coca-Cola and Manchester United. In December 1999, ‘Marketing’ magazine described the launch of easyJet as «one of the 100 great marketing moments of the 20th century».
