...Discuss how personal differences and preference can impact organizational ethics. Possibly one of the most important aspects of organizational ethics lies with the systems of belief of those in upper management positions. Those who feel as though they should be allowed to get by with poor business practices and unethical decisions will obviously be in conflict with those who feel as though the business should only be operated under the most ethical conditions. As in any business organization, there are always differing ideas and opinions regarding how the business should be ran. However, when personal differences and preferences involve differing opinions regarding what is right and what is wrong, tremendous problems can develop. The most troubling situations can arise when workers at lower levels in the organization realize that upper management is not operating in an ethical manner, this brings up the problem of whether or not to keep quiet in order to retain their jobs, or speak up and possibly be let go. This problem does not only exist in upper levels of organization, it can take place within all levels. When employees have differing opinions and preferences at subordinate levels it can tend to cause personal conflicts within departments which can lead to reduced productivity and personal conflicts which may be detrimental to the organization as a whole. Many employees feel as though they cannot make a difference in the ethical policies and procedures of their organization...

...International Management Name: Institution: Course: Tutor: Date: Free market economies stimulate greater economic growth, whereas state-directed economies stifle growth A free market economy is a type of market economy where forces of supply and demand exist freely without interference from any authority such the government or any price setting monopolies. In this system, prices are controlled by supply and demand forces. The buyers and sellers make decisions that they themselves determine solely (citing in Watkins, 1959). State-directed economy refers to a system where the state controls means of production but the economic activity is mostly directed to some extent by the government or ministry of planning through indicative planning. According to Alec Nove (1987) State directed economy is also commonly known as centrally planned economy. The main government or central government is the body concerned with directing all sectors of the economy. “The free market is the only economic system consistent with personal freedom. It thus not only provides the basis for greatest improvements, it also provides the basis for remaining free off political control over our lives.” (Kates, 2011,p. 4). Ignoring the role of individuals ignores everything important about how a market economy works. Free market economy stimulates economic growth as they rely on individuals to purchase and sell goods and services freely and proactively. Free market stimulates economic growth because...

...18. The Sixteenth Amendment (1913) gave Congress the power to collect an income tax; it was proposed and ratified to replace a law that had ben declared unconstitutional in an 1895 Supreme Court case. The income tax had been seen as means of putting into effect the concept of the progressive taxation, in which the tax rate increases with income. The Sixteenth Amendment put the progressive taxation on a constitutional basis. Progressive taxes helped promote social equality through the redistribution of income; that higher-income people are taxed at higher rates to help fund social programs that benefit lower-income people. This being said progressive taxes are very important to our democracy, it helped promote social equality. The Commerce clause is the third clause of the Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to regulate commerce among the states. This was very important to the Constitution because the commerce clause was a major factor that increased the national governments power. After the Revolution ended and independence was a reality, it became clear that the national government had neither the economic nor the military power to function effectively. In 1786 a sever problem happened in Massachusetts where high interest rates and high state taxes were forcing farmers into bankruptcy. The Shays Rebellion revolted against established order continuing until 1787 when Massachusetts appealed to the constitution for help. The rebellion demonstrated...

...COMM 10- Elements of Public Speaking Master Make-up Artistry (Informative Speech) Specific Purpose Statement: To inform my audience about the three major types of make-up needed to be a master make-up artist. Central Idea: High Fashion, Character and Prosthetic/Special effects make-up are all skills required in order to be considered a master make-up artist in the industry. Introduction When I was about 3 or 4, I remember watching my mom put on her make up and being completely fascinated by it. Well being the curious little kid that I was, I decided to be exactly like mommy and do what she did. Bad idea! I ended up in the emergency room because I had super glued by eyelashes together. Needless to say, my first experience with “make-up” was not what I’d call great. Since then though, I have grown to love make-up and so I started to wonder what makes someone a master of makeup. Body I. High fashion make-up is the foundation or rather the basics of all three make-up types. A. It’s used to identify a person’s skin type, bone structure, eyebrow and face shape. 1. Identifying all these factors into helping determine what products to use on an individual. B. Its application is solely for beauty purposes. 1. You mostly see this kind of make-up done in editorial spreads in magazines, on television, in films or on the runway. II. Character make-up is to help define and develop the characteristics needed for a certain role. A. This process helps age...

...Informative Speech Introduction 1. In the contemporary world, underage drinking has become a global phenomenon especially in the developed countries such as in the US. As a result, the Oklahoma State has taken various measures to curb the vice. This is the reason behind the enactment of the Underage drinking laws-Social Host Law. The law was enacted in order to; a) Minimize the circumstances that lead to death of a minor or suffering physical injuries b) To enhance concentration at school especially for the minors c) To make societies responsible for their young people and develop virtues that would lead to productive work in future d) Promote healthy social life Body (Translation: I will begin by outlining the aspect of underage drinking, Oklahoma’s Social Host law and specifically where Cody’s law emanated from) 1. Consumption of alcohol by the young people in the US is prohibited especially for people who are below 21 years. However, despite the minimum age that is set for people who buy alcohol being 21 years in all the states, the legal requirements varies significantly. For instance: a) Wagenaar and Melvin argue that some states have exceptions whereby they allow some individuals who are below 21 years to consume alcohol (37). This indicates that the laws are not uniformly implemented across the states. b) In Ohio State, the social host law has not been limited to the drinking parties by the underage. Therefore any action that is undertaken by an underage guest...

...Ma. Sarah Katrina F. Santos June 16, 2014 11229888 SPEECOM - C32 Informative Speech How many of you thinks that having more customers is better than having fewer customers for a business? Can I see a show of hands? Alright. I presume that for those who said yes, which is the majority, raised their hand for the same reason. More customers mean more people buying and more people buying mean more profits for the company, isn’t it? Sounds sensible but I hate to break it to you but those of you who said yes are wrong. Today I will transform that thinking to exactly the opposite. I will introduce based on a new study the idea of ‘less is more’. Focusing on a smaller number of customers could help a company speed up growth, increase profit and improve long-term health. I am going to talk about how top companies gain customers, how they keep them and how these customers help them in expanding their business. They don’t need a lot of customers, just the right ones to keep them on top. First point is, fewer customers can speed up the company’s growth. Would you believe that some companies actually go out of business because of too many customers? Yes, that is true. The problem with these companies is they get very overwhelmed with the influx of customers that they forget to establish a connection with their customers. According to Forbes, this is one of the top 5 reasons why 8 out of 10 businesses fail - because they are not really in touch with their customers...
