T-Mobile Ethics

In the world today, when you hear the words AT&T, Cox Cable, DirectTV and Comcast the first thing that would typically come to mind is enjoying sports and family television. Often time’s customers don’t really know into the weeds of a company until something goes wrong. A consumer may find interest in the event they have bought stocks into a company and they see it all fall. Companies such as this service millions and millions of people all over the world. It is sad to know that some of these organizations while looking squared away on the inside have such serious ethical issues going on or that went on within their organization. The last thing a customer wants to do is tune into the t.v. and find out that one of their providers was

At Company X, it is our upmost desire to comply with rules and laws pertaining to our business, and to hold our values at a spectacular level. Our company values include responsibility, equality, honesty, confidentiality, respect, and integrity. These values are the building block of our company, and should be followed by all employees, management, and any persons associated with our business. By adhering to the code of conduct, our work environment will be comfortable and reliable, and will help avoid unethical behavior.

Using the competing values framework as a point of reference, how would you describe Verizon’s current organizational Culture? Provide examples to support your conclusions.

“As one of the fastest growing wireless carriers, T-Mobile has permeated pop-culture to become relevant and meaningful to the lifestyles of their young consumers,” said Heidi Ueberroth, NBA Executive Vice President. “We are confident that this wide-reaching partnership will further accelerate their growth in the wireless space.” T-Mobile is confident that these partnerships will broaden its exposure and enhance its youth-targeted image.

As corporations and businesses evolve, they must adapt to the changing landscape of societal, environmental, and corporate-success needs. To achieve such responsibility, Verizon Communications Inc. has, and continues to, meticulously plant its feet into the web of the triple-bottom line. While maintaining their credo which is “a blueprint that directs us to live up to the highest standards when serving our customers, shareowners, communities, and each other”, Verizon aligns their overall goal to “design, build, and operate global networks, information systems and mobile technologies that connect people, grow businesses and economies, and improve communities” (Verizon.com).

In this report, I prove that Apple’s iPhone has dominated all other smartphones in the years leading up to 2016. It is the epitome of what a globally recognized product can accomplish when considering how quickly it globalized and the image it provides for those who buy an iPhone. Owning one of these phones is not only a statement, it holds power and value that other smartphones simply cannot top. The company owns the stage when compared to other smartphones, and it’s journey to become the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturer is truly incredible. In fact, not only does it lead in technology and phone production, it’s become the largest publicly traded TNC in the world. Everything from its assets to its brand loyalty prove why it has expanded across the globe, and will continue to for many years to come. Apple Inc. has globally expanded by outsourcing nearly every level of its production and became one of the most successful and revolutionary TNC’s in the world, mainly due to the release of the infamous iPhone in 2007.

When bringing up the idea of a “100 percent ethically sourced” smartphone, Caroline Winter quotes from researcher for the company Fairphone, “‘That would be nearly impossible, ’says Bibi Bleekemolen, a researcher for the company”(Winter). This was followed by a conversation of the main suspect guilty for causing the production

The company ranks among the top position at training its employees since 2012. It is also ranked among the top telecommunication companies in America. This paper will look at how Verizon’s organisation structure and culture play a role in making sure they remain top of the telecommunication industry and attain their main goal to focus on shareholder value (Sbeit, 2008).

The third ethical dilemma is related to problems with the iPhone's exclusive carrier, AT&T. Currently, the iPhone comes with a 14-day trial period. But AT&T service provides a 30-day trial period. This definitely puts customers in an uncomfortable position when they decide to cancel iPhone service after the 14-day trial period. Apple is clearly trying to minimize consumer's rights by contradicting its own carrier's service plan. Lastly, the most important fact consumers need to realize is that personal information can be

ethical approach can be taken in the best interests of the company. Again, to maintain a strong

As the turn of the 21st Century evolved, it appeared as if Adelphia Communications Corporation was on a direct path of success; unbeknownst to their investors and the public, they were in reality on a direct path of destruction instead. Unfortunately, Adelphia is not the first major company in the history of the United States’ business world to lose the trust of the American public, but it is certainly one of the most notable ones to do so. As the events surrounding the Adelphia scandal unfolded in full view of the public eye, a multitude of media outlets were there to broadcast the destruction and distrust to the masses leaving many wondering if the term “business ethics” was actually nothing more than just an oxymoron. Throughout this

In analyzing Verizon's strengths, it is apparent that they have strong brand recognition in the market and industry. They are not only the leader in market share for wireless presence in the U.S., they were also ranked at the top for branding and customer loyalty in the wireless phone category and received the 2005 BrandWeek Customer Loyalty Award as a result (Verizon Customer Satisfaction – Award & Recognition, 2005). In addition to strong brand recognition, Verizon is ranked the

“Connecting People. Our goal is to build great mobile products that enable billions of people worldwide to enjoy more of what life has to offer. Our challenge is to achieve this in an increasingly dynamic and competitive environment” (Nokia, 2014)

Since the smartphone industry is knowledge-technology-based, highly specialized, undergoing rapid changing, internationalized and undertaking a great deal of information acquisition and transaction, therefore, their activities and operating requires support of public sector (Parker, 2005). HTC Corp. while committing to comply with national laws and regulations, HTC also has its company code, which covers the General Moral Imperative, and Conflict of Interests and Suppliers and Customer Relationship area (HTC’s Code of Conduct. 2012). Otherwise, HTC Corp. necessarily to concern participates and in cooperation with organizations as the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which is a statutory authority within the federal government portfolio of Broadband, the Digital Economy and Communications, including telecommunications, the internet and radio communication.
