...Phase 4 Individual Project, Ethics in the Business Environment Hope Green Colorado Technical University Professor Sweet MGM365-1401B-01 Phase 4 Individual Project, Ethics in the Business Environment Morals and Values Good morals and values are things that we should have in regards to not only our personal life and the way we act and treat people, but also in regards to our business life and how we treat both coworkers and customers. Values are the actual beliefs that we live by in our lives such as do unto others as you would have done unto you. Morals are the values that we believe in that can usually be attributed to an external place of learning them such as one’s religion or the society they live in. It is our morals that help us to determine the difference between right from wrong and choose to do the right thing (Career Education Corporation, 2010). Code of Conduct Plan Having a code of conduct plan in place for any business is crucial to its survival. If there is not a plan in place, some employees may not know how to act in certain situations and they may do something that could really hurt the business. Proper behavior cannot be expected unless leaders tell the population what they expect and how proper behavior is supposed to look (Editorial Board, 2012). Doing Business Abroad One thing to think about when doing business overseas is the U.S. Department of State. The U.S. Department of State is instrumental in issuing Apostilles and Certificates of Authentication...

...Abstract Juvenile Delinquents are also known as youth crime. Juvenile Delinquency is an illegal behavior by a minor under the age of 18. There have been many studies on families with children that commit crimes. If juvenile crimes not prevented at an adolescent age, these children are more than likely going to become greater criminals when they are adults. It has been proven that intervention at an early will more likely prevent the child from committing at an adult age. If a child proceeds in criminal activity they are likely to become violent not only to themselves but to innocent people in their destructive path. Juvenile crimes do not affect just one race. It doesn’t have a sexual preference either. Young men are though known to be more aggressive than young woman. Younger siblings of older siblings are also at risk for crimes because they will follow in their footsteps. There is known preventative actions for children that start to show signs in behavioral actions. Causes of Juvenile Delinquents There are many reasons why young children become juvenile delinquents. For instance, fetal substance exposure, prenatal difficulties, an abusive and violent families are all factors of poor executive functioning. Poor parent supervision, criminal parents, low intelligence, and low educational attainment are other frequent precursors. Early onset antisocial behavior has more severe outcomes than antisocial behaviors that occur later on and...

...Unit 4 IP G**** N******* American Intercontinental University This unit’s case studies seemed to focus a great deal on growth of production and overall company growth. In the following pages will be a basic overview of the case study answers from the excerpts. All of the readings contained a tremendous amount of useful knowledge. The excerpts: Denver Goes Alfresco, Firewire Surfboards Lights Up with CAD, Colgate-Palmolive keeps managers smiling with executive dashboards, will be analyzed and discussed as listed. In the first excerpt, Denver Goes Alfresco we go over a major growing point in Denver’s economy, city-state government, public relations and community involvement. These major changes, once started, took 15 month period of 6-12 week cycles. Before every implementing this project The city-government and its various agencies were in a blinded state of turmoil. They were have so many issues with technological communication that the only option was change! So change they made by implementing a single centralized IT group whose sole purpose was to bring the city-government out of the ashes. This of course meant saying farewell to the existing 14 management systems, saving costs in doing so anyway. The new system, the enterprise content management (ECM) system had to fill 3 major roles records, security, and finally communication.

...90=$2.50. The breakeven point by definition is the sales level at which a company neither earns a profit nor incurs a loss. To find the brat even point all a business manager needs to do is divide the contribution margin per unit into fived costs. You must find the fixed cost first. To find the fixed cost you subtract the total variable cost per unit from the sales price per unit. The break even formula for this one is $1,750/$2.50=$700. 20,000 units times $12 per unit equals $24,000. To find the operating cost for 20000 haircuts all you would have to do is multiply by the price per unit. With the company only performing haircuts the unit price is still $12. If Andre revises the compensation method and gives $6 for each haircut and $4 per hour the new contribution margin per haircut would be $2.00. The breakeven point for the new revised compensation would be $870. For the contribution you would do $12-$10=$2. For the breakeven point you would do $1,750/$2=$875. If all the stylist where to perform 20000 haircuts in a year a long side their hourly rate per year the total expense for all five stylist Andre would have to pay is $120,000. The total for the hourly rate plus the compensation a year is $40,000+$120,000=$160,000. The best method for Andre to apply for his business is to use the flat hourly rate of $9.90. With the compensation method of $6 an hour, the variable cost would change based on the number of clients the company has on a week to week, month to month and...

...Grade Received: "B-" Abstract This essay will talk about why abortion is immoral and should be illegal. Although abortion is legal in the state of Texas, doctors should exercise their rights to not take part in abortions. Legal and Moral Stance of Abortion Abortion is a very touchy subject, not only here in Texas, but pretty much everywhere. Some will say it is moral, some will say it is immoral. As a healthcare provider, I feel abortion is immoral all the way, and that even though it is legal here in the state of Texas, it should be illegal. If I were actually a healthcare provider, this could potentially create challenges in a healthcare setting. Although the amount of abortions has decreased during the 1990s, there are still about 1.2 million legal abortions each year (Fremgen, 2012). Here in Texas, three very significant laws have been passed since Roe vs. Wade. In the late 1980s, abortions that were done in the last trimester were outlawed, which put an end to the alternative left behind from this particular decision. Following Roe vs. Wade, in 1977, a law was passed that protected any health care provider that both refused to participate as well as those that participated in abortions. Private facilities did not have any legal obligations to do abortions except if the mother’s life was in danger (Abortion Laws in Texas, n.d.). During 1985, the Texas Abortion Facility Reporting and Licensing Act decided that every abortion...

...the business. The ability to educate one another requires modesty, and comprehension that individuals have more power when they aide each other’s growth. Both of these are traits of a strong team (Martin, 2013). 2. Making Decisions: Also within a strong team, individuals are aware of what role they play as well as the chain of command in their business; this makes for easy decision making. Each member of the team knows who has the power to make a decision, and this individual’s choices are accepted. Each member has the chance to give his/her opinion, and the leader will consider them (Martin, 2013). 3. Clear Expectations: When each team member is aware of what is expected of them, they tend to be more efficient and feel better about their occupations. Team members tend to trust each other, depend on each other, and work independently all at the same time. When a team member does not know what is expected of them, they get frustrated and begin to feel hostile, as well as feeling that other teammates ask too much, or other people are doing too little (Martin, 2013). 4. Strong Communications: Strong teams have solid communication networks. As individuals start to work from different places, this network becomes more necessary. Strong teams are aware of how to get in touch with each other, and it is necessary to keep each other aware of what is going on at all times. Each individual knows which data is most important for each person as well as who is responsible for sharing...
