If a company does not have a set of ethical beliefs to instill into their team members, the company is not setting a good foundation on which to stand upon. The mere fact that our ISMs are written in a clear manner using language that is easily understood by all demonstrates the culture of one big family living by one set of rules. The nineteenth ISM establishes the fact that in all things, choosing to do the right thing is the best thing. The only con to having and ethics policy would come into play if a team member violated one of the ethical ISMs.
Section 1: Introduction and situational analysis: In the world of business ethics, there are certain examples and scenarios that have become a commonplace for teaching aids. In the case of Enron and its eventual downfall from a perceived highly ethical and successful company. Enron was once ranked the sixth largest energy company in the world. At the height of its success, Enron seemed to be an outstanding corporate citizen, with all the social wellbeing and business ethics tools and status symbols in place (Brinkman, 2003, p. 244). However, due to a deep culture of rewarding clever strategies to bend, break laws and codes, the company eventually collapsed and filed for bankruptcy.
Existential Issues: William Craig mentioned that even Russel admitted that moral values can never be based on our personal taste and our decisions and he further said, "The point is that if there is no God, then objective right and wrong cannot exist" (Craig). I agree with him because God guides us to the path that leads to success and betterment of many people including ourselves. If we do not have faith in God then there's nothing that could go right since there would be no purpose and no fear of punishment or greed and passion for the reward that can make us follow what's right and wrong in life. “'If life ends at the grave, then we have no ultimate purpose for living'' (Craig). I'd say I agree with him to some extent because many of us

It’s important because this industry is very stable so they have to really focus on growing the company, even though it will be a small numbers, that is still better than nothing. The shareholders will not be happy to hear stable in the report, they would be happy to hear growth. Just like what we learned in class, the things to focus on are profitability and growth. Since they are already in the markets, the growth is really have to be deliberate, as mentioned earlier that they have to cut the fat part that hey don’t need and focus more on what will benefit the company the most. Add up to that the company need a strategic plan, this is when all the corporate culture, branding, and customer focus came into the board in an order to help keep the company growing.
The final tier of the pyramid are desired responsibilities which include discretionary/philanthropic responsibilities. Along with maximizing profits for a corporation’s shareholders, acting within legal limits, and have an ethical supply chain, corporations are desired to contribute resources to the community.

Diversity when properly managed and implemented, contributes immeasurably to the growth of a business. As such, prioritizing diversity in business activities as a social responsibility does not only benefit the community the business is located but also promotes growth within the business environment. Diversity has been seen to be the premise for a healthy human reproduction and development. It is also needed to complement the ever increasing rigidity and interdependence that exists in the global business environment. Nielsen and Nielsen, 2013 postulated that “global firm have been shown to perform better because of diversity.”
Shareholders: When operating ethically shareholders would like to maximise their return on investment. They would likewise need to guarantee that supervisors are behaving ethically and not risking investors’ capital by engaging in actions that could hurt the company’s reputation. Shareholder’s may not be happier as the return on investments would be lower when a business attends to operate ethically but it is possible to persuade them by clarifying the long haul results of the business. Customers: They are the most critical stakeholder for a business.

In an article written by Jeff Smith, The Shareholders vs. Stakeholders Debate mentioned “that a manager’s duty is to balance the shareholders’ financial interests against the interests of other stakeholders such as employees, customers, and the local community, even if it reduces shareholder returns” (Smith, 2003). Another concern of our employees includes the potential stress from removing one of the managers and the feeling of instability for their own jobs. If the stakeholders are happy, the company has a longer lasting stability such that they have
Understanding that both articles had great reasoning I believe that a raise in the minimum wage can have a negative impact in our economy and that it should be something that shouldn’t be completely abolished but carefully monitored. Like stated in Minimum Wage Laws Are Immoral and Harmful, not all employees will give their full effort in the workplace because they won’t need to worry about getting a raise. The act of raising minimum wage doesn’t only affect the employers but as well as the consumers, by causing a rise in the company’s merchandise. I understand that some jobs don’t pay their employees enough, but what are the qualifications that the employees have, do they have enough experience, or a degree and have they simply demonstrated their ability’s. Keep in mind that many people just ask but don’t give to
