- management science tools and solutions are capable of fundamentally changing the structure and operation of business organizations and the societies in which they operate and of significantly changing, for good or ill, the lives and fortunes of every stakeholder. As a result, management science has raised significant ethical issues since its inception. For example, the introduction of scientific management in the first part of the twentieth century significantly increased the productivity of workers and helped fuel a dramatic rise in the standard of living. At the same time, it ushered in an era of regimented, mind-numbing assembly-line work; generated an uninspiring stream of cheap, standardized products; and, some might say, contributed to the creation of an excessively materialistic and wasteful society.

- Most people think of them as the walking dead, a being without a soul or someone with no free will. This is true. But the zombie is not an alien enemy who’s been CGI-ed by Hollywood. He is a New World phenomenon that arose from the mixture of old African religious beliefs and the pain of slavery, especially the notoriously merciless and coldblooded slavery of French-run, pre-independence Haiti. In Africa, a dying person’s soul might be stolen and stoppered up in a ritual bottle for later use. But the full-blown zombie was a very logical offspring of New World slavery. write this paragraph on your wordarrow_forwardOscar Munoz started as United’s CEO in 2015, by March 2017 named “Communicator of the Year” by PRWeek.

The fourth, Dr. David Dao, refused, saying “I can’t get off the plane. I have to get home. I’m a doctor.
