Aaron and I didn’t have the opportunity to meet and go over our presentation together. Aaron works nights, making it hard for him to meet during the day.

...“The Corporation” (http://informationclearinghouse.info/article12998.htm), is a documentary-style film about the ethical behavior of companies. It mainly focuses on American based multinational corporations. While the film has a clear and pervasive bias against corporate culture and behavior, it does raise many disturbing questions. As the views presented in the film are not necessarily outside of the mainstream, corporate entities should endeavor to understand the basis for the accusations, determine if there is any truth to them, formulate ways to change business behavior (if appropriate), and communicate the truth about intentions and actions in a clear and compelling way in the public forum. Section I: Five Principle Ethical Arguments The film argues that multinational corporations continue to act unethically in the following capacities: Human Rights Violations Corporations systemically use child labor. Conditions in depressed geographic areas constitute unsafe work conditions. Wages are intentionally kept at “poverty level” to increase investment and decrease cost. Corrupt authoritarian regimes are backed by multinationals to maintain control of the population for pure profit with wanton disregard to the acts of that regime. Human capital is regarded is expendable, and once the area is used up or wages rise too high, the corporation simply moves on to a cheaper locale. Intentional Environmental Harm Companies intentionally pollute the environment...

...Hydraulic fracturing, otherwise known as fracking, is a 60 year old practice of pumping high pressure water into shale rock thousands of feet below the earth’s surface. The pressurized water is pumped through cement encased pipes at pressures reaching 9000 pounds per square inch. The treated water is forced into small cracks in the gas-rich shale rock, resulting in the breaking of the rock and the release of natural gas that would otherwise be unobtainable. Hydraulic fracturing is a safe, economically efficient way to drill for natural gas, create jobs, and lessen America’s dependency on foreign oil. Safety is always an important factor when considering new methods for obtaining raw energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural and shale gas. The process of fracking can be considered relatively safe when compared to oil drilling and mining. For example, in 2010 an offshore drilling station suffered a malfunction in a blow back valve that caused a massive explosion killing 11 people and spilling an estimated 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico (Center for Biological Diversity, 2011). While the cost of lost lives is immeasurable, the costs of lost profits from the spilling oil, and the clean-up, are astronomical. The consequences of oil spills are not only immediate, but can also be felt for years after. Similar to the BP oil spill, in 1989 the Exxon Valdez ship ran aground spilling an estimated 750 thousand barrels of crude oil, an amount that equals almost...

...1. Employee participation is defined as a process of employee involvement designed to provide employees with the opportunity to influence and where appropriate, take part in decision making on matters which affect them in the context of their employment. Employee participation is part of a process of empowerment in the workplace. Empowerment involves decentralising power within the organisation to individual decision makers further down the line. Team working is a key part of the empowerment process and team members are encouraged to make decisions for themselves. Examples of employee participation include: i. quality circles or project groups in which employees work on projects where considerable responsibility is delegated to the team. You often see this in industrial manufacturing companies for assembling products ie. cars. ii. Suggestion system - where employees are given channels to provide suggestions or new ideas to managers within the organisation. iii. Team meetings or town halls where employees are encouraged to share ideas freely without retribution from management. iv. Delegation of responsibility within the organisation. In modern organisations the entry level employees need to be given considerable responsibility because they are often the face of the company. Their direct contact with customers on a day-to-day basis is where many customers form their image and opinion of a company. Furthermore, these employees feedback are often critical...

...Operations Management 4BIM502 Assignment No. 1 Abdurahman Haji 12159352 Adam Al-Ghariyani 10594805 Word Count: 2650 Question 1). The post-construction issues that have come to surface regarding the Northstar HyperMall within the last three months are varied yet linked. These issues are of such importance in relation to the reliability – (According to Hollins and Shinkins, 2006 ) “The most important aspect of any product or service...something performing to specification” that they became the focal point of the General Manager’s (GM) area of concern. These problematic reports have dealt a destabilising blow to the future of the newly constructed Mall by Northstar, forcing the management to ensure that measures are taken both to identify and devise a solution in order to rectify the situation, ultimately restoring efficiency and thus heightening the chances of a success. Issues with relation to Customer Service are of great value, as this is where the interaction between the customer, the staff and all other products and services encompassed within the Northstar Mall facility take place. However, validity of the feedback/suggestions and general comments/complaints must be assured in order to gain a non-bias and factual foundation on which to view options to proceed. In the world business, on multiple planes, the quality of the service provided to the potential customer is paramount, as this service is what, when placed in conjunction amongst other variable factors...
