Why Toshiba Is Getting Hit With A Record Fine

These three elements are important to what ethical culture the company is portraying. Management must be very clear in the code of conduct, where employees understand what the organization expects of them (Ferrell, et al, 2013). Without a clear and strong written code of conduct, employees and management can act in an unethical behavior as they did in the financial breakdown. During this time customers did not have faith in the financial world because of the unethical behavior. My belief is absent of poorly communicated code of conduct creates an environment for all parties of the organization to behave in a manner that benefits the organization or themselves over the

Drs. Jeffrey and Veiga believe that there is a direct correlation between high economic returns and high involvement management practices. This management includes those practices in which employees are highly engaged by the management. The first example is Apple Computers, in which Apple downgraded its workforce numbers to try to regain their market leadership. Instead of increasing their profitability by decreasing labor costs, Apple made its employees insecure about their futures and became less engaged. It resulted in the damage of brand name.

The case study that was analyzed is, “Unauthorized Disclosure: Hewlett-Packard’s secret Surveillance of Directors and Journalists,” by Anne T. Lawrence, Randal D. Harris, and Sally Baack. The ethical issues presented through the case deal with Hewlett-Packard Company (HP). HP is a major international company in the computer and technology market. The company describes itself as a “technology solutions provider to consumers, business and institutions globally.” Their credo is called “HP way”, which focuses on points such as trust and respect for individuals, high level of achievement and contribution, business conduct with uncompromising integrity, objectives through teamwork, and encouragement of flexibility and innovation (Newman).

It is only during moral lapses and corporate scandals that interest groups and the broader public ask themselves the fundamental ethical questions, who are the managers of the organization and were they acting with the ethical guidelines. For a long time, the issue of ethics was largely ignored, with organizations focusing on profit maximization. However, this has changed, and much attention is now focused on ethics management by researchers and leaders. The issue of ethics has arisen at a time when public trust on corporate governance is low, and the legitimacy of leadership is being questioned. Leaders are expected to be the source of moral development and ethical guidance to their employees.

To make this goal a reality, they created a company culture that encouraged “rule breaking” and went so far as to “discourage employees from reporting and investigating ethical lapses and questionable business dealings” (Knapp, 2010, p. 14). They insisted the employees use aggressive and illegal

The international business environment can be defined as the environment in different sovereign countries, with factors exogenous to the home environment of the organization, influencing decision-making on resource use and capabilities (Morrison, 2011). Global business environment can created challenges for companies that are found to be linked to unethical business practices.
