THE HISTORY OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND STAKEHOLDER THEORY IN AMERICA

[Pin It]

Towards the end of Chapter 1 of Daniel Terris’ book (2005) he points out that the five ‘strands of thought’ discussed in the chapter represent ‘shades of emphasis’ in the field of corporate ethics and he claims that it is difficult for corporations to elude scrutiny across the board at all times. He then contends that:
Patching up a single [workplace ethics] problem will likely satisfy no one in the long run, when problems emerge in new and unforeseen areas. But this is just another way of saying that corporate ethics is a continuous process, rather than the rollout of a single product. What the history suggests is that responding to discrete problems of corruption or exploitation is a short-term fix. The challenge is to develop an approach that is sufficiently supple, dynamic, and self-critical to engage ethics issues in their most fundamental—and therefore most threatening—dimension.

Please compose a 4- to 5-page argumentative essay in support of the last sentence in his statement. “The challenge is to develop an approach that is sufficiently supple, dynamic, and self-critical to engage ethics issues in their most fundamental— and therefore most threatening— dimension” (Terris, 2005) in light of the materials discussed in Chapter 1.

The Ethical Hacker

Case Study: The Ethical Hacker

Due Week 4 and worth 70 points

Imagine for a moment that you are a hacker; an ethical one. You are called upon by law enforcement based on your expertise to hack into a network of a business known to be launching crimes against humanity as its primary mission for operation and capital gain. Assume you are not to be concerned with any politics of the job and your actions are legal and ethically justified. This nefarious business takes its own security seriously and therefore has implemented several forms of network security such as firewalls, Web proxies for its Web gateways, and VPNs for remote users. You also know that this business exists much like any normal corporation, renting several floors of office space to accommodate between 100-200 employees. Also imagine that the business’s entire network topology is located in that same location. Your goal is to infiltrate the security enough to find evidence included in the local MSQL database. You need to remain anonymous and operate within the reasonable parameters of the law.

Write a four to five (5-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Explain your method of attack and operation within reasonable parameters of the law.
  2. Discuss specific malware, social engineer, or any other type of attacks you would deploy to achieve your desired goals.
  3. Assess the hurdles you expect and how you plan to overcome them.
  4. Determine how you would remain anonymous without blowing your cover.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Explain the essentials of Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) behavior and applications used in IP networking.
  • Explain the concepts of network security and associated ethical issues in addressing exploits.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in network security design.
  • Write clearly and concisely about Advanced Network Security Design topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Write a 3 page paper in which you summarize key points from your reading, and include a brief stakeholder analysis narrative of the scenario described above considering different stakeholder groups that may benefit or be negatively impacted in this scenario.

Business Ethics and Stakeholder Management

For your SLP this session you will be asked to review four articles on business ethics from our TLC Library. You will review one paper each in Modules 1 through 4. In the final module you will also be asked to integrate some of your thoughts from your paper reviews.

In this SLP we will be reviewing an article that covers the concept of stakeholder management. Stakeholders are important to consider in significant business related decisions. This is because organizational decisions – especially substantial decisions involving significant resource allocations/re-allocations – tend to impact various stakeholder groups as you will be reminded in your reading. These stakeholders may have the power to impact the organization’s success.

Assignment Instructions:

In this assignment you will be asked to apply stakeholder management theory to the following scenario.

A public corporation of 980 employees manufactures a popular brand of garments (mostly jeans) that are primarily made and sold in America nation-wide. It has a large contingent of employees in several small rural communities in the Eastern US and is the primary employer in all of those communities. Two if its 5 shops are unionized but the union and management have a good working relationship. The company has traditionally marketed its clothing line as “Made in the USA” and attracted a bit of a “cult like” following as a result, but an outside consulting firm has suggested that significantly greater profits are possible if a different strategy is employed. The corporation is subsequently considering whether to off-shore its manufacturing facilities to a poor nation to save money on labor. It would also discretely discontinue its “Made in the USA” marketing ads and hopefully ride the wave of its previous marketing campaigns for a while. It is estimated that total cost per unit of production will be decreased by one third which equates to tens of millions of dollars.

Please write a 3 page paper in which you 1). Summarize key points from your reading, and 2). Include a brief stakeholder analysis narrative of the scenario described above considering different stakeholder groups that may benefit or be negatively impacted in this scenario. Make sure you demonstrate your understanding of the stakeholder management concepts presented in the reading. For instance, who might be considered to be the primary stakeholders? Are there any secondary stakeholders? How powerful are the respective stakeholder groups? Finally, make a recommendation regarding the scenario based on your analysis.

 

Your 3 (or more) page paper should be double-spaced and in 12-point type.

Your paper should have a separate cover page and if you are using any in-text citations then a separate reference page.

Use APA style, and proofread your paper.

Examine similarities and differences in criteria of effectiveness for several familiar leadership roles.

Criteria of Leader Effectiveness

[Pin It]

The purpose of this assignment is to examine similarities and differences in criteria of effectiveness for several familiar leadership roles. In a three- to four-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages)

Identify the criteria by which the effectiveness of the following leaders might be evaluated: an assistant coach, a teacher, and a minister. Prioritize and explain the rationale for these criteria.
Discuss the ethical issues or challenges associated with prioritization.
Compare and contrast the extent to which there are unique or similar criteria across the different roles, and the extent to which the criteria are measurable. For example, some of the criteria you might identify for the role of assistant coach might include the team’s win-loss record, player perceptions, team morale, etc.

Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center, and it must include citations and references from the text and at least two scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library.

Unit IV Research Paper Topic

In this course, you are asked to prepare a Research Paper on a construction-related fall accident. To prepare you for the Research Paper, you will need to gain some knowledge and familiarity of construction accidents. Search the Internet, the CSU Online Library, safety organizations, or use an accident you are familiar with to complete the following:

Write at least two pages of your initial thoughts about the accident. Include the following elements:

· Briefly summarize the accident.

 Discuss your initial thoughts about the cause of the accident.

 Include a cover page and a reference page.

Format your paper topic using APA style. Use your own words, and include citations and references as needed to avoid plagiarism. The accident must be a construction accident

Unit V Article Review

For this assignment, choose a peer-reviewed article to review. Use the databases within the CSU Online Library, or use another source that contains peer-reviewed articles. The purpose of this assignment is for you to practice reviewing articles that contribute to the industry. The authors of these articles are researchers and professionals who have shared or experimented with ideas that demonstrate potential to improve the industry.

As a professional in the industry, it is in your best interest to review the literature and trends. This provides you with the opportunity to read about what was successful and how it was accomplished. In addition, this assignment allows you to analyze what was unsuccessful, how you can improve it, or at least how you can avoid repeating the mistakes of others. You can use these skills to contribute to research papers and other scholarly writings.

As you read the article you choose for this assignment, consider the following questions:

 How could the topic of this article apply to your personal or professional life?

How could it apply to an organization you have observed?

The article you choose must meet the following requirements:

 be peer reviewed

 relate to the concepts within this course (Try to choose an article that contributes to your research paper.)

 be at least 10 pages in length

The writing you submit must meet the following requirements:

 be three pages in length

 identify the main topic/question

 identify the author’s intended audience

 describe what you took away from the article

Format your Article Review using APA style. Use your own words, and include citations and references as needed to avoid plagiarism. Be sure to include a cover page.

Information about accessing the Blackboard Grading Rubric for this assignment is provided below.

Unit VI Research Paper Outline

By now, you have had the opportunity to review research topics regarding falls in construction, select one, and briefly reflect on the topic. In order to stay on track and continue making progress on the Unit VIII Research Paper, prepare an outline with the major headings or topic sentences. An outline is a great way to provide organization for papers and projects. For this assignment, it is not intended for you to write an accident analysis or investigation. You may use an accident(s) to support your research, but it cannot be the focus of your paper. Your outline should include the following:

 cover page,

 the topic,

 one paragraph that describes the importance of the topic, and

 at least four major headings in outline form. (You do not have to include more than the heading.)

APA rules for formatting, quoting, paraphrasing, citing, and listing of sources are to be followed.

You do NOT have to commit to the details of your outline until the Research Paper is finished. As you continue to research the topic and draft the paper, the organization of your thoughts (i.e., the details of the outline) may evolve. That is expected and acceptable. To organize those thoughts, it is a good idea to begin with an outline.

Use your own words, and include citations and references as needed to avoid plagiarism.

Information about accessing the Blackboard Grading Rubric for this assignment is provided below.

Unit VIII Research Paper

Falls are one of the leading causes of death and injuries in the construction industry. Your final assignment is to write a research paper on falls in construction. It is not intended for you to write an accident analysis or a paper on OSHA. Your paper should use an accident(s) to support your research, but should not be the focus of your paper. It is also not necessary to give the name of an injured person, describe the effect on family, and give the OSHA violation and fine amount, etc., as they are not desired in this paper.

An acceptable example would be falls from ladders, to include:

1. What are the common causative factors?

2. What does data indicate?

3. What are the effective proven corrective measures?

Always remember the most important aspect of a research paper is the summary analysis by the writer of the research.

 Your Paper must be a minimum of five pages in length not including the cover page or reference page.

 APA format is required. Be sure to have in text citations and more than one or two references

Select at least three criteria to make your comparisons of subject X and subject Y.

Project description
BADM 205: Analytical Report Assignment

As the capstone project for this course, you will write a comparative analytical report on a topic of interest to you and approved by me. The topic should be worthy of analysis: something a client would pay to know, something that can be debatedan analysis with two or more perspectives. Examples include a comparison of two or more products, services, people, groups, companies, institutions, events, etc. Use this opportunity to create a writing sample for your employment portfolio, which showcases your mastery of writing and critical thinking.

Your report must follow Chicago documentation stylesee the Harvard Business School Citation Guide 2014 15 Academic Year link in BBand include the following (check the boxes as you complete them):

Title Page
Introduction* Introduce the products, services, people, groups, companies, institutions, or events, etc.
(subject X vs. subject Y) you are going to compare. Give readers the background they need to understand the reason for the comparison. Use the indirect method by presenting your conclusion at the end of your report.

Body* Use the yardstick approach (BCT pgs. 396 & 397). Select at least three criteria to make your comparisons of subject X and subject Y. Give each criterion a sub-heading (e.g. Convenience, Cost, Environmental Footprint, etc.), then analyze how subject X and subject Y meet or do not meet the criterion. If you are making a comparison according to the effects it has on something or someone, be sure to provide details. Anticipate where readers might question either your criteria or how they apply to your subject. Also, address opposing viewpoints by acknowledging how their evaluations might differ and by showing why your evaluation is better.

Conclusion (and Recommendation, if appropriate)* After leading your readers by the hand through your
comparative analysis, they should be ready forand often in agreement withyour conclusion (and recommendation, if appropriate). Since the conclusion is what most readers are likely to retain, make it
interesting by including a compelling example or analogy.

Visuals You must have two (2) or more visuals, at least one (1) of which you createthough the information can be from an outside source. They should all be referred to in the preceding body paragraph and should be numbered, titled, and documented.
Secondary Sources Include three (3) or more credible secondary sources (journals, newspapers, business magazinesDo NOT rely on Google, Wikipedia, or other non-credible sources). Visit a librarian for help in searching our numerous databases. Your sources should be correctly integrated and cited (using footnotes).
Primary Source You need at least one (1) primary source. Examples are surveys, interviews and raw data, such as product specificationsthat have not been interpreted. So, if you use a manufacturers website for product specs, this is considered a primary source, not a secondary source.
Bibliography
* Minimum of 1,000 words for these combined sections.
This project requires you to rely on all of the skills you have gained so far and to learn some new ones. Work diligently. Refer to BCT Chapters 13, 14 and 15 for guidance. Go to the Writing Center and/or make an appointment with me to discuss any aspect of the report. Make yourself proud.
