BACKGROUND THE EXECUTIVE DECISION Clark Faucet Company By 1999, Clark Faucet Company had grown into the thire largest supplier of faucets for both commercial and home use. Competition was fierce. Consumers would evaluate faucets on artistic design and quality. Each faucet had to be avail- able in at least twenty-five different colors. Commercial buyers seemed more in- terested in the cost than the average consumer, who viewed the faucet as an ob- ject of art, irrespective of price. The executive council mandated that another attempt to implement good project management practices must occur quickly. Project management would be needed not only for new product development but also for specialty products and enhancements. The vice presidents for marketing and engineering reluctantly agreed to try and patch up their differences, but did not appear confident that any changes would take place. Clark Faucet Company did not spend a great deal of money advertising on the radio or on television.…

Summary: Professional ethics and reporting division performance. Hannah Gilpin is the controller of Blakemore Auto Glass, a division of Eastern Glass and Window. Blakemore replaces and installs windshields. Her division has been under pressure to improve its divisional operating income. Currently, divisions of Eastern Glass are allocated corporate overhead based on cost of goods sold. Jake Myers, the president of the division, has asked Gilpin to reclassify $50,000 of installation labor, which is included in cost of goods sold, as administrative labor, which is not. Doing so will save the division $20,000 in allocated corporate overhead. The labor costs in question involve installation labor provided by trainee employees. Myers argues, "the trainees are not as efficient as regular employees so this is unfairly inflating our cost of goods sold. This is really a cost of training (administrative labor) not part of cost of goods sold." Gilpin does not see a reason for reclassification of…

ESIC MYSTERIOUS TERMINATION   Earnestwo Salvador Insurance Corporation (ESIC) was, by all accounts, a model insurance company. Profits were strong and had been for several years in a row. The company carried the highest ratings in its industry, and it had recently been voted one of the Top 100 companies to work in the Philippines in recognition of its “very employee-focused work environment”. ESIC offers very generous benefits: free lunches in the cafeterias, on-site daycare facilities, and even free Starbucks Coffee in the employee break rooms. In an industry that was still struggling with massive claims after a succession of typhoons and floods in the Philippines, ESIC was financially stable and positioned to become one of the major insurance companies in the country. So, why were the CEO, Caleb Briones, the CFO, Kristan Chua; and the COO, Vince Javier, all fired on the same day with no explanation other than that the terminations were related to issues of conduct?   QUESTIONS:…

After Spending several weeks on the job, Haleema was surprised to discover that her Uncle had not formally evaluated any employee's performance for all the years that he had owned the business. Waqar position was that he had "a hundred higher-priority things to attend to," such as boosting sales and lowering costs, and, in any case, many employees didn't stick around long enough to be appraisable anyway. Furthermore, contended Waqar, manual workers such as those doing the pressing and the cleaning did periodically get positive feedback in terms of praise from Waqar for a job well done, or criticism, also from Waqar, if things did not look right during one of his swings through the stores. Similarly, Waqar was never shy about telling his managers about store problems so that they too, got some feedback on where they stood. This informal feedback notwithstanding, Haleema believes that a more formal appraisal approach is required. She believes that there are criteria such as quality,…

FACTS:   Donato Martinez is a long-time employee of Permaja Trading and Builders Corporation (PTBC) and was promoted as foreman in the construction department. Donato aka Ato rose from the ranks as foreman, a position usually given to a college or technical education graduate. Ato is a high school graduate but his 15 years with the company has proven his worth for his good performance and his loyalty to PTBC.   Ato’s personal life is not unknown to the management; however, since it does not interfere much with his work in the company, it is not given much attention. Ato has been married for ten years, but never had a child. His wife does not pay attention to him and this led him to drinking sprees after office hours. Family matters worsened as Ato drank too much, he was absent from his work especially after weekends.   The management called his attention due to his absences and he was reprimanded and was given written warnings. For a time Ato would pay attention to the advice of the…

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…

Topic: Ethical Behavior in the Workplace   Ethical behavior in the workplace is paramount for maintaining trust, integrity, and accountability within an organization. Employees are expected to adhere to ethical standards and principles that guide their actions and decisions in all aspects of their work. This includes honesty, fairness, respect for others, and compliance with laws and regulations. Ethical lapses, such as dishonesty, conflicts of interest, or unethical treatment of colleagues or customers, can damage the reputation of the organization and undermine its relationships with stakeholders. Therefore, organizations must establish clear ethical guidelines and codes of conduct, provide ethics training to employees, and promote a culture of integrity and ethical responsibility. Leaders play a crucial role in setting the tone for ethical behavior through their actions, decisions, and ethical leadership practices. By fostering a culture where ethical conduct is valued and rewarded,…

The firm “Company Dew” traditionally provided only those benefits and services, which were necessary for the employees, such as, compensation due to work-related injury or illness. “Company Dew” never actually had that corporate flavor and had always ignored the human aspect. So far, the company had been successful by providing quality products and maintaining aggressive promotional campaign. But, of late, the managing director felt that there were several potential problems with the company’s policies regarding benefits and services. The most critical of them was the employee’s turnover. Historically, there had been massive employee turnovers at the junior level, which many thought to be the cause of long working hours (10-12 hours daily) and also along with very low wage compared to other industry. Of late, there had been remarkable cases of senior employees resigning.  Few years back, some employees went to the managing director, demanding pension and other benefits such as profit…
