...Latoya Harrell Cathy Whitfield Business Ethics-MGMT 368 13th January 2015 Kohlberg’s Scale On Kohlberg’s scale, I consider myself to be falling under the fifth stage of the third categorization. The third level which is post conventional morality has two stages, which is stage five which is social contracts and Individual rights and stage six: universal principles. I consider myself to be in stage five. This stage is concerned with a person’s ability to embrace and recognize the reason why differences exist in people’s values, beliefs, opinions and other inclinations of others. The level also maintains and recognizes the importance of the rule of law in maintaining order in the society (Ashford & Lortie, 2010). Kohlberg came up with a scale which he used to explain the learning of morality and the subsequent development of morality among the children and even adults. In an attempt to explain the process of morality development, he established the scale which is mainly based on learning of what is moral and what is not moral, with no regard to the actions of people. Kohlberg’s scale is divided into three main levels and each of the three levels has two stages of the process. The first level is the pre-conventional level. This level has stage one and stage two. Stage one is on obedience and punishment. Under this stage, both adults and children perceive rules as absolute and rigid. Total obedience of the rules is not a choice since it means avoidance of punishment. Stage two...

...MGMT 338 International Business August 26, 2012 KFC’s Radical Approach to China The Factors Behind Their Success Westernized fast food chains are steadily growing in foreign countries. Kentucky Fried Chicken is one of the leading U.S. fast food chains currently in China. There are several factors that have contributed to KFC’s rapid expansion and success in China. The story of KFC in China is one of great success on an economic level, as well as a great example of international business. There are many factors behind KFC’s success in China which include, five competitive advantages: infusing a Western brand with Chinese characteristics, expanding rapidly, developing a logistics network, training employees in service, and focusing on ownership rather than franchising. KFC is part of the Yum! Brand, which also owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. KFC China’s success in the international market has all been due to its five competitive advantages. The first of these advantages is infusing a Western brand with Chinese characteristics. KFC China makes sure that even though it is a US chain and restaurant it has worked hard to assimilate into the Chinese culture. They have done this by offering a variety of menu choices that cater to the local cuisine. They have also expanded their kitchens and their workforce to be able to produce and accommodate for the additional menu options. Extended families are a big part of Chinese culture; KFC China has acknowledged this by increasing...

Introduction The article “Are vulnerable workers really protected in New Zealand?” is written by two authors namely, Danae Anderson, researcher at Work research Institute, Auckland University of Technology, NZ and Rupert Tipples, Associate Professor of Employment Relations in Faculty of Commerce at Lincoln University, Christchurch, New Zealand and is published in New Zealand Journal of Employment Relations, 39 (1): 52-67. This article is concentrated on exploring the working condition of international migrant workers and pacific workers in primary sectors and are categorised as vulnerable migrants using Sargeant and Tucker’s 2009 framework. The writers have claimed that though protective measures have been adopted to defend the vulnerability of the workers, the result is still speech making only. The article has clearly identified the research topic and used secondary sources of the information to address the research questions. The article has been successful in raising the concerns of vulnerable workers in primary sectors such as exploitation at work, underpayment, employment dependency, visa conditions, lacking of formal written contracts for employment likewise, the article has been able to pull the attention of the concerned authorities to work and rethink to promulgate the protective...

Remember, all of Chapters 3, 5, and 9 are on it AND the SWOT we did on the Ski Shop Engagement Sheet (SWOT is found in Chapter 6, but we’re only doing the things we did in class …) Here’s a dozen to try. Don’t forget … you might see these questions again! Directions: Please read the following scenario, then answer the questions that follow. “Managing a Ski Shop” Your best friend’s sister and brother-in-law run the local ski shop near campus in your college town, but they have recently bought another type of business in another town. They want you and your friend to take over managing the ski shop. If you run it successfully, you and your friend will gradually be given substantial equity in the shop and eventually would own the whole business. So far, the shop has been only marginally profitable. Although the shop carries ski equipment and ski clothing, it has habitually run out of both during the peak skiing season. Extra merchandise hastily ordered to meet the demand has often arrived so late that it could not be sold until the next season, if at all. In addition, the shop does very little business from March through August. Due to a dispute over the size and prominence of the outside sign displaying the shop’s name...

...Report of my experiences of The Everest group simulation Jialing GUO Z5027270 Executive summary This report is an overview of my group experiences in the Harvard Everest simulation .Everest simulation is group work of students to use their own background knowledge of management attending to reach the summit of the Mountain Everest. It is required to complete by a group of students and students play one of five different roles on a team of hiker. Each member of the team has their unique goals to complete and there is also a common goal of reaching the Everest summit. During the simulated six-day climb, team members should analyze information on weather, health conditions, supplies, goals and hiking speed, and then determine how much of that information need to communicate with their teammates. Every decision that each member made will influence the team performance eventually. The aim for this simulation is to explore influences on collective decision-making, including opposing interests and cognitive biases, analyze different leadership approaches and team responses. Our group members include Raymond Duong, Anthony Le, James Peter Reid, Jialing Guo, Siqi Liu, Kazuya Ogino and Biljana Popovic.

...Derivative Losses at JPMorgan Chase LaVita Rodriguez Business Government and Society Case Study: Derivative Losses at JP Morgan Chase 1. Does this case indicate that JPMorgan and the federal government were in a collaborative partnership or working at arms length? Why do you think so? In a collaborative partnership the government works closely with organizations in efforts to achieve a common objective that is mutually beneficial. Working at arm’s length is the opposite of a collaborative partnership due to the objectives of the organization and government being opposite, creating an adversarial relationship between them. In the case of JP Morgan and the federal government, they demonstrate working at arm’s length. The federal government imposed regulations that would extend government oversight in the trading of derivatives by implementing government rules that required trades involve intermediaries in public “clearing houses” so that regulators could closely inspect transaction (Lawrence, A. T., & Weber, J., 2014). JPMorgan opposed the idea of trading derivatives in public because it would potentially benefit rivals and compromise the profit of the bank (Lawrence, A. T., & Weber, J., 2014). The objectives of the federal government and JPMorgan do not align. The federal government wants to implement regulations that would work to restructure JPMorgan from being able to take excessive risks that would result in large bailouts being forced onto taxpayers who are already...

...Managers and employees work together every day to produce the world we see today. Common misconceptions exist about a manager’s role and the driving force behind employees. Managers are commonly seen as the role that plans, coordinates, and controls what an employee does (Mintzberg, 1990, p. 1). Then the employee is simply motivated with money to do what the manager says. My successful experiences have proven otherwise. I have been fortunate to experience an employment environment that practices job enrichment and contemporary motivating techniques. I started as a temporary hourly wage employee with entry level IT responsibilities. The managers around me observed my personality and interests. They soon discovered my intrinsic motivators. Intrinsic motivators are the internal personal interests that naturally motivate a person (Herzberg, 1987, p. 2). Through day-to-day work interaction, they learned about my interests in software development and my studies in computer science. The managers compared the company’s to-do list with my personality and interests, where many of them aligned. After a few months, I was hired as a full time employee in the applications development department. I modified business applications aiding in business growth decisions. I also grew individually. Every day I was fine tuning my skills as a programmer. The employee/employer relationship was mutually beneficial. Sharing new ideas I learned in college shattered myopic thinking in the company....
