At a recent board meeting of Co., a non-executive director suggested that the company’s remuneration committee should consider scrapping the company’s share option scheme, since the executives could be rewarded by the scheme even when they do not perform well. A second non-executive director had a view that, even when the executives act in ways which decrease the agency problem, they might not be rewarded by the share option scheme if the stock markets were in decline.  REQUIRED:  Explain the nature of the agency problem and discuss the use of share option schemes and performance-related pay as methods of reducing the agency problem in a stock-market listed company.

Day 1/Chapter 1 Case Study: Guided Practice WILLIAMS MACHINE TOOL COMPANY For 85 years, the Williams Machine Tool Company had provided high-quality products to its clients, becoming the third largest U.S.-based machine tool company by 1990. The company was highly profitable and had an extremely low employee turnover rate. Pay and benefits were excellent. Between 1980 and 1990, the company's profits soared to record levels. The company's success was due to one product line of standard manufacturing machine tools. Williams spent most of its time and effort looking for ways to improve its bread-and-butter product line rather than to develop new products. The product line was so successful that companies were willing to modify their production lines around these machine tools rather than asking Williams for major modifications to the machine tools. By 1990, Williams Company was extremely complacent, expecting this phenomenal success with one product line to continue for 20 to 25 more…

ETHICAL DILEMMA 2: Bounty Hunters His SUV carefully obscured behind a row of trees, Rick Raymond, private investigator, was on another case. This case was not to catch the unfaithful spouse or petty criminal in action. Instead, Raymond was tracking an employee, at the request of an employer, to determine whether an Orlando repairman was sick as he claimed today and as he had claimed to be several times recently. As we have seen, absenteeism is a huge problem for organizations that has left them desperate for solutions. One solution is to investigate. In the typical routine, when an employee calls in sick, the employer asks for the reason. If the reason is illness, and illness has been the reason for an abnormal number of times in the past, the employer hires a P.I. to follow the employee and photograph or videotape his or her activity outside the house. Private investigators also are used to ascertain whether individuals filing injury claims (and drawing worker’s compensation…

Case 1:Ethics vs.Profit A large American company participates in a highly competitive industry.To meet the competition and achieve profit goals,the company has chosen the decentralized form of organization.Each manager of a decentralized center is measured on the basis of profit contribution,market penetration,and return on investment.Failure to meet the objectives established by corporate management for these measure is not accepted and usually results in demotion or dismissal of a center manager An anonymous survey of managers in the company revealed that they felt pressured to compromise their personal ethical standards to achieve corporate objectives.For example,certain plant locations felt the pressure to reduce quality control to a level that could not ensure that all unsafe products would be rejected.Also,sales personnel were encouraged to use questionable sales tactics to obtain orders including offering gifts and other incentives to purchasing agents.

Topic: Launch Management and Public Policy Issue Read and explain briefly what I means. “The worst thing about product liability is what they call strict liability. Now, I know it’s hard to prove negligence against a typical large corporation of today, but that’s no reason to go to the other extreme and say a company is guilty when there is no evidence it did  anything wrong. We market thousands of products in- volving thousands of people.   Strange things are going to happen. Employees are not robots—they make human errors. You’ve probably already made a mistake or two today, yet if you were in a business, you could be sued, found guilty, and then hit with a punitive damages ruling like a common criminal. That’s just not fair.”

Integrity, Objectivity, and Ethics in Business Loan Loss Woes During the economic crisis of 2008, many of the largest U.S. banks were accused of having provided mortgages to marginally qualified borrowers. Such loans, called "sub-prime" and "Alt-A" loans, were made to earn mortgage fees. When the borrowers were unable to pay their mortgages, the banks incurred large losses on defaulted loans. These losses were so large that the U.S. government had to provide money (TARP funds) to many banks to bail them out of their financial distress. During the middle of the crisis, the FASB voted to provide banks more flexibility in applying fair value accounting for bank assets, such as defaulted loans. These FASB rule changes allowed banks to minimize the impact of their defaulted loan write-downs and improve their earnings. Some criticized the FASB as succumbing to political pressure and reducing overall financial statement fairness. Source: lan Katz, "FASB Eases Fair-Value Rules Amid Lawmaker…
