Although the companies include the diverse backgrounds, upon entering employment, each individual brings their own set of values, goals, and perception of acceptable behaviors (Lankard, 1991). In respect to the organization, these multicultural individuals are asked to work together in obtaining the corporations goals and policies.

This could be to do with giving or withdrawing treatment, or as simple as sharing risk information (Glover, 1997). Ultimately, the practitioner must be able to rationalise any decision they have made (Morrison, 2009).

Due to the many corporate, social and environmental effects of the BP oil spill, genuine ethical and legal questions of social, corporate and business responsibilities that resulted in negative externalities were raised. Many of these pertain with BP PLC complying with environmental laws, making efforts to build and maintain shareholder values to a range of organizations, and with health and safety methods ensure the safe practice and well-being of the workers. Individual vegetations along the gulf coast were damaged resulting in defected food sources, flouting the Endangered Species Act, and creating an avoidable conflict with the EPA. In addition, it affected people who were in no connection with the company and its dealings, but still had to suffer the consequences both economically and environmentally. Thus, it brings about the many legal issues that pertain to the bogus claims by BP PLC and its cooperating companies, like Transocean and Halliburton, about the methods in which the ridge would be covered, how families would be compensated for the loss of their relatives who were either harmed during the explosion or afterwards during cleanup times.

Traits associated to a psychopath include irresponsibility, manipulation, grandioseness, lack of empathy, asocial tendencies, inability to feel remorse, refusal to take responsibility for one's actions and superficial relations with others. Modern day corporations display every one of the previously listed characteristics. Is it right that an institution, whose power now rivals that of the State that once created it to seek the better welfare of its citizens, display the psychological traits of a dangerous personality disorder? Many say no: there is a rising discomfort with the corporation and its pervasion into every sphere of human life and it is this uneasiness that has prompted many academics to further study the corporation and its

The purpose of this assignment is to review and analyse a business case which features an obvious ethical dilemma. The chosen business case for this assignment involves: Egg farms in Iowa America, bad practices highlighting the ‘ethical dilemma’, and a crooked entrepreneur named Austin Jack DeCoster, a man responsible for making unethical decisions. Austin Jack DeCoster first started operating his egg business in the late 1940’s at the age of 15 and built up his empire to become one of America’s top ten egg producers in the country (Endo, 2010), housing a “flock of more than 15 million chickens” (Friedman, 2010). Although there is a time line of crooked behaviour from Mr DeCoster reaching back as far as the 1950’s (Fassler, 2010), the specific dilemma mentioned in this assignment came to light in August 2010. The ethical dilemma recorded was that salmonella-tainted eggs had sickened an estimated 1900 people, which then led to the recall of 550 million eggs according to (Foley, 2011). These eggs were produced by Wright County Farms, owned and operated by Mr Austin Jack DeCoster.
