With more than a third of American children and adolescents overweight, you would think that Mattel’s slender Barbie doll would be a good role model for little girls. Not so, according to some critics. If Barbie was a real woman, she would have less than 17 percent body fat, a neck too thin to hold her head up, a waist too small to house a full liver and intestines, and ankles and feet too tiny to walk. One group of researchers estimated the likelihood of a woman having Barbie’s body at one in 100,000. Yet some women strive for impossible bodies, with more than 20 million suffering from eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. Other research has shown that 40 to 60 percent of preadolescent girls are concerned about their weight, and almost 70 percent of elementary-age girls who read magazines say the pictures of thin models influence their perceptions of an ideal weight. Statistics like these cause consumer advocacy groups such as the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood…

Alex and Bianca were looking forward to the birth of their second child soon. They were already the proud parents of Xavier, who was 7. Alex and Bianca were due to attend a routine ante-natal appointment at the local hospital on Monday morning. They waved Xavier goodbye, and watched him walk down and across the road, where he was due to follow the pavements along the side of the quiet streets which led to his primary school. They waited until Xavier was out of sight, and then went back into their house to get ready. Unbeknown to Alex and Bianca, Xavier rarely kept to the streets on his way to school. Instead, he preferred to cut across a steep grassy field (owned by Yolande County Council), and around which there were erected a dilapidated fence and several ‘Do Not Trespass’ signs. The field was criss-crossed with narrow dirt pathways, worn into the grass by those in the neighbourhood who chose to ignore the signs and fence and use the field as a shortcut. Also in the field were some…

Harry and Mike were both skillful and efficient workers in the cutting room of Excellent Garment Factory. Several months ago, there was a vacancy for a supervisory position in the cutting room. Everyone in the factory knew that either Harry or Mike would get promoted to that position. Mike was given the supervisory position, and, as the two men were friends, Harry was not too upset or disappointed. They remained good friends, and Mike made a special effort to spend a lot of time with Harry to show that he had not changed. In fact, he even granted Harry a slight increase in pay in recognition of his good performance. Moreover, since Harry was good at his job, Mike often requested him to demonstrate his cutting skills to other workers so that they could learn from him. However, this did not seem to work. The productivity even seemed to get worse instead of better. Mike often worried that his subordinates did not like him. He tried to talk to them to win their friendship. However, he was…

SUBJECT: ENTREPRENEUR No.1 CADBURY The case describes revelations that the production of cocoa in the Côte d'Ivoire involved child slave labor. These stories hit Cadbury especially hard. Cadbury's culture had been deeply rooted in the religious traditions of the company's founders, and the organization had paid close attention to the welfare of its workers and its sourcing practices. The US Congress was considering legislation that would allow chocolate grown on certified plantations to be labeled "slave labor free," painting the rest of the industry in a bad light. Chocolate producers had asked for time to rectify the situation, but the extension they negotiated was running out. Students are asked whether Cadbury should join with the industry to lobby for more time? What else could Cadbury do to ensure its supply chain was ethically managed? (You may answer same questions stated above.)
