Techniques Used For Salvage A Performance Or Interaction That Is Going Sour

SIS was developed by Mayon-White in the 1980s. Its purpose is to provide a cyclic structure for analysing business systems, but, unlike soft systems methodology, it is relatively quantitative (rather than qualitative).

Moreover, situations like this and many more are what many people call a slippery slope; because what one person can think is harmless behavior, can quickly lead to a crime. With this being stated, in our current culture of near constant litigation, we must be careful to avoid any appearance of wrong doing—especially our leaders, who will undoubtedly be held accountable when things go wrong (Kistner,

The principal agent theory applies to this Whistleblower’s Tale because the Navy, (we are going to call them shareholders)

Many pivotal managerial principles and practices are exemplified in the Case Study, Outrage at Eastern. In this particular story a manager, Charles Jackson, is faced with many difficult decisions regarding problems concerning one of his workers at Eastern Plating. One of Jackson’s workers named Marty Reid is accused of molestation of his stepdaughter. His allegations are made public in a recent writing in the “Evening Beacon”, the daily paper of the 10,000 town’s population. Reid also has his wife going against him as well, which automatically makes him guilty to the majority of the town. When Jackson reads the paper he immediately understands what he might be faced with in the next upcoming days of

Our journal for the third week of class was to watch the movie A Civil Action, since we would not be in class. This movie was interesting because Jan Schlichtmann who was originally a greedy personal injury lawyer decides to take on case due to the potentially large settlement involved. Unfortunately, the case eventually bankrupted him and his staff. At the end of the movie, the viewer is able to see that he did not continue the case for the money once he began understand the entire situation. This movie chronicled the progression of Schlichtmann accepting the case to becoming broke. Because the movie carefully showed the underlying issues of water contamination in Woburn, Michigan. This allowed the viewer to understand that there is a fair amount of meetings and negotiations that happen behind the scenes in the legal system. Despite the fact that he was a talented lawyer who could negotiate. It was awfully apparent that in the short term the legal team with the most money and power would win the case, but not in the long run. When Schlichtmann decided to hand the case to the EPA they were able to out power and outspend Beatrice foods, Riley Tannery and chemical company W.R Grace; the companies involved in the water contamination issue.

Management in this scenario handled Beverly’s incident appropriately. Beverly expressed denial and tried to manipulate her situation by trying to make management feel sorry for her home life. Management stood their ground with the action plan and did not give into the guilt that Beverly hoped they would.

It’s quite easy to say that we do not live in a perfect world. Several people wish that they had the tools to fix the world. But it not an easy task, because the tools that are needed are not already assessable. However, in the movie The Yes Men: Fix the World Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno think that they have found the tool to fix the world: impersonation. Andy and Mike impersonate corporations that they believe to be “big-time criminals in order to publicly humiliate them, and otherwise giving journalist excuses to cover important issues.” (Identity Correction, n.d.) They create fake website of those corporations and wait to be invited to conferences, once invited to these conferences they use that platform and they use different antics to that they believe will “wake up their audiences to the danger of letting greed run our world.” (The Yes Men: Fix the World Story, 2009). The Yes Men targeted corporations that affected large groups of people, two of those corporations were Dow Chemical and HUD, U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development. Dow Chemical is claimed to be responsible for the Bhopal gas leak incident in India, since they bought out Union Carbide, while HUD had a hand in keep Hurricane Katrina victims out of their homes. In retaliation to these corporations not admitting “to have been in the wrong” Bichlbaum posed as a Dow Chemical spokesperson on BBC World in Paris and “announces that Dow will finally clean up the site of the largest industrial

Were there any early warning signs that may have predicted this type of behavior in Mr. Scrushy? “Perhaps what we need is a scale for measuring the moral development or character of the officers to whom the financial status and reports of the company are entrusted” (Jennings, 2005, p. 44-45).

First, the “un-engineered” dam violated two laws; second, Pittston knew the dam was not safe; third, Pittston did not have a warning system in place to alert residents in case of disaster; fourth, by convincing the deputies to discontinue their warning efforts, Pittston negated the last-ditch effort that could have saved 125 people (Nugent 183). The most tragic finding from the multiple investigations and studies is that Pittston could have built a safe dam for less than 200,000 thousand dollars, an amount that was a mere “one-half of one percent of its 1971 profits” (Nugent 184), a small sacrifice that could have saved many lives. Pittston’s culpability lies in its reckless greed. One of saddest reminders of the horror of Pittston’s wanton disregard is a tombstone that reads: “This Tiny Trio / Boy-Girl-Boy / Who were the Victims of the Feb. 26, 1972 Buffalo Creek Disaster are unknown to us by name but to Our Heavenly Father they are known as three little angels” (Stern 47). The article Remembering Buffalo Creek, 40 Years Later commemorates the tragedy saying: “We have a responsibility to teach each future generation what happened and why, so that they cannot only reverently remember but make certain that history does not repeat itself” (1). One can hope all companies have this etched in their minds and hearts and souls when they think of sacrificing safety for a

To start off, a critical response needs a critical analysis. Responding to something after research and finding more information on a topic is a critical response. The response itself is putting it into a form from ideas and brainstorming to essays. That is what critical response is, for example in English 100 I was given an article to analyze on E-waste. I had no knowledge in that case nor did I put to account that we would ever face a problem like that, disposing computers and electronics. But there was more to that than you can think, the basic idea of that concept could lead to many ideas and deep thinking on what happened to that topic. After constant research I and putting it into a critical response I came up with my research essay. The response itself cannot come without a critical analysis these words cannot come to be without one another. As mentioned in class.

Brenda Franklin had been serving Allied Tech for the past 8 years. As any other organisations, Brenda used to be a part of the lunch hour conversations with her colleagues. One day when her colleagues were discussing about corruption and politics, something occurred to her. As a result she prepared a list called “Ethically Dubious Conduct” and pasted it on the common notice board. Her colleagues were taken by surprise. Brenda was now anticipating the next lunch where she was expecting her list to be analysed among her colleagues.

He was placed into a situation where he had to decide between his own reputation and the safety of other people. He had to assess the good consequences (a safe skyscraper) and the bad consequences (a potential harm to his reputation by admitting that the tower was faulty), and weigh the outcomes. He acknowledged his errors in engineering the Citicorp Tower and he acted as a faithful agent to his employer by telling them this. He ultimately fixed the tower and kept the public safe, which according to the first fundamental canon of the NSPE code of ethics is the most important rule of practice for

3 Greg’s response to the allegations against him was characteristic of an authentic leader because he was sure to be transparent. He was open, honest and straightforward with himself and everyone else seeking answers. Additionally he showed internalized moral perspective by disregarding the advice of his legal advisors and chose to speak publicly about the situation, based on the fact that he was driven by his ethical beliefs and fairness, and felt that this was the right thing to do.

More specifically, they were trying to avoid the blame and further their individual motives. When I saw the film I thought to myself there’s no possible way this happens in real life, but the article shows two examples. The Challenger case as well as the Macondo Well blowout showed that even though engineers might have noticed a problem, in the end management or other engineers decided that it was safe enough to proceed. Then during the investigation, the leaders of the company or project managers decided to play innocent and ignorant. The other thing that I found interesting is the “practice defines facts” model. If correlations are found, then they become facts until they are disproven; this is the problem with the model. A fact should not be able to change, if a fact is truly a fact then the evidence should always support it. When we spread misinformation by stating a correlation is fact, it can lead to many people thinking that it is the truth. It goes back to the first articles we read in class about misleading information in science. Not only does the Macondo/Challenger article tie into the film that we watch it also ties into other topics that we learned about ethics. People in certain situations have an innate self-interest that hurts

The movie The Insider literally provides a seeing glass perspective into the summation of ethical issues in businesses that directly affects the consumers physical and psychological health and the alleged methods that the tobacco company would resort to in order to safe guard itself from litigation and from disclosing information that will adversely affect the sale of its sole money making product yet is ultimately crucial to its customers understanding of the contents of the product that they are purchasing and its implications on their personal health.
