The issues related to nepotism in business are also investigated in multiple dimensions concerning the human...
The management nepotism has multiple effects on the business performance and employee satisfaction.

2). These are important issues because fire chiefs are routinely confronted with actual ethical dilemmas that involve conflicting or competing public and private values as well as corresponding conflicting professional responsibilities (Haraway & Kunselman, 2009). This point is also made by Pammer and Killian (2003) who cite the expanded responsibilities of both fire chiefs and line personnel in recent years.

Family Business This case study is a perfect example of one of those situations we are sometimes faced with in life, when we have to decide whether to make an ethical, but unhealthy decision in terms of its consequences, or an unethical one, but one that is deemed to bring some profits. Like Machiavelli said, "the goal justifies the means," but does it? The case study is rather simple and involves two
Metal Workers Employment Law Case Review One of the primary functions of the judiciary is to clearly define the parameters of legislative intent, as the passage of any law necessarily creates parties with a vested interest in bypassing or overturning the statute, and in the case of Local 28, Sheet Metal Workers v.
