A Real-Life Situation
Kent was getting pressure from his boss, parents, and wife about the marketing campaign for Broadway Corporation?s new video game called ?Lucky.? He had been working for Broadway for about two years, and the Lucky game was his first big project. After Kent and his wife, Amy, had graduated from the same college, they decided to go back to their hometown of Las Cruces, New Mexico, near the Mexican border. Kent?s father knew the president of Broadway, which enabled Kent to get a job in its marking department. Broadway is a medium-size company with about five hundred employees, making it one of the largest employers in Las Cruces, Broadway develops, manufactures, and markets video arcade games.
Within the video arcade industry, competition is fierce. Games typically have a life cycle of only eighteen to twenty-four months. One of the key strategies in the industry is proving unique, visually stimulating games by using color graphic technology, fast action, and participant interaction. The target markets for Broadway?s video products are children aged 5 to 12 and teenagers aged 13 to 19. Males constitute 75 percent of the market.
When Kent first started with Broadway, his task was to conduct market research on the types of games that players desired. Is research showed that the market wanted more action (violence), quicker graphics, multiple levels of difficulty, and sound. Further research showed that certain tones and types of sound were mare pleasing than others. As part of his research, Kent also observed people in video arcades, where he found that many became hypnotized by a game and would quickly put in quarters when told to do so. Research suggested that many target consumers exhibited the same symptoms as compulsive gamblers. Kent?s research results were very well received by the company, which developed several new games using his information. The new games were instant hits with the market.
In his continuing research, Kent had found that the consumer?s level of intensity increased as the game?s intensity level increased. Several reports later, Kent suggested that target consumers might be willing, at strategic periods in a video game, to insert multiple coins. For example, a player who wanted to move to a higher level of difficulty would have to insert two coins; to play the final level, three coins would have to be inserted. When the idea was test, Kent found it did increase game productivity.
Kent had also noticed that the video games that gave positive reinforcements to the customer, such as audio cues, were played much more frequently than others. He reported his findings to Brad, Broadways president, who asked Kent to apply the information to the development of new games. Kent suggested having the machines give candy to the game players when they attained specific goals. For the teen market the company modified the idea: The machines would give back coins at certain levels during the game. Players could then use the coins at strategic level to play a ?slot-type? chance opening of the next level. By inserting and element of chance these games generated more coin input than output, and game productivity increased dramatically. These innovations were quite successful giving Broadway a larger share of the market and Kent a promotion to product manager.
Kent?s newest assignment was the Lucky game- as fast action scenario in which the goal was to destroy the enemy before being destroyed. Kent expanded on the slot-type game for the older market, with two additions. First, the game employed virtual reality technology which gives the player the sensation of actually being in the game. Second, keeping in mind that most of teenage consumers were male, Kent incorporated a female character who, at each level, removed a piece of her clothing and taunted the player. A win at the highest level left her nude. Test market results suggested that the two additions increased profitability per game dramatically. Several weeks later, Brad asked about Lucky project. ?I think we?ve got a problem, Brad,? Kent told him. ?Maybe the nudity is a bad idea. Some people will be really upset about it.? Brad was very displeased with Kent?s response.
Word got around fast that the Lucky project had stalled. During dinner with his parents, Kent mentioned the Lucky project, and his dad said something that affected Kent. ?You know, son, the Lucky project will bring in a great deal of revenue for Broadway, and jobs are at stake. Some of your coworkers are upset with your stand on this project. I?m not telling you what to do, but there?s more at stake here than just a video game.?
The next day Kent had a meeting with Brad about Lucky. ?Well,? Brad asked, ?what have u decided??
Kent answered, ?I don?t think we should go with the nudity idea.?
Brad answered, ?You know, Kent, your right. The U.S. market isn?t ready to see full nudity and graphic violence in arcades in their local malls. That?s why I?ve contacted and Internet provider who will take our game and put it on the Net as an adult and found that we can sell the machines to the Mexican market if we tone down the violence. The Taiwanese joint venture group has Okayed the version we have now, but they would like you to develop something that is more graphic in both areas. You see, they already have similar versions of this type of game now. I see the Internet market as secondary because we can?t get the virtual reality equipment and software into an Internet mode. Maybe when PCs get faster, we?ll be able to tap into it at that level, but not now. So, Kent, do you understand what you need to be doing on Lucky??

Individual Assignment: Cross-Cultural Perspectives

Research a global organization and a cultural issue that affects this organization?s interactions outside the United States.

Define the cultural issue within the global organization.

Prepare an analysis of the ethical and social responsibility issues that your selected organization must deal with as result of being a global organization.

Write a 700- to 1,000-word paper summarizing the results of the analysis. Include the following:

- Identify ethical perspectives in the global organization.
- Compare these ethical perspectives across cultures involved in the global organization.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

1st
submit a brief comment about the following statement: Ethical egoism may be an unsatisfactory moral theory if it is taken on its own; however, it is an important corrective to an ethics of self-sacrifice. Briefly (150 words) relate ethical egoism, as defended by Ayn Rand, to an ethics of self-sacrifice, as presented in Carol Gilligan's second stage of moral development. For instance, think of a person whose ethical decisions are predominantly based on an ethical perspective of self-sacrifice (perhaps you may know one) and try to see if the ethical egoism approach would help this person to live a more balanced (good) life.

2nd
submit a brief comment relating the concept of stages of moral development to the moral theories studied in the earlier chapters. Briefly (150 words) relate the Kohlberg's moral development stages and the previous theories (Ethical subjectivism, Cultural Relativism, and Ethics and Religion), to the actual behavior of people discussed in earlier chapters, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Adolph Eichmann, the subjects of Milgram's experiment, and the bystanders in the Kitty Genovese case. For instance, you should be able to associate Martin Luther King Jr. with the "post-conventional stage" due to his defense of universal moral principles. Adolph Eichmann, on the other hand, can be easily associated with Kohlberg's "conventional stage" for stating at the Nuremberg Trial that he was simply following the laws of his country to justify his conduct during the World War II. Assignment must be typed in MS Word, where you can check grammar and spelling and the file attached for submission.

Use the Ethics Awareness Inventory and Ethical Choices in the Workplace assessments (attached) to assess your values.


Write a paper in which you do the following:

Explain the role of ethics and social responsibility in developing a strategic plan, considering stakeholder needs.

Explain how your ethical perspective has evolved throughout the program.

Hello,

please write an essay about : What is the purpose of the ACA and how will it affect private businesses as well as US taxpayers? Given your response, is it morally justified, especially noting younger persons signing up will subsidize older people on the ACA and the $50 billion taken from Medicare? Also, is there an urgency to implement ACA, given current health care coverage? Again, use ((Two OF The Ethical Perspectives)) that we have used to justify your response.

*)2 ethical perspectives should be from Ayn rand (objectivism), Khant (utilitarianism) , and or Locke

you MAY ONLY use an updated sources ( use the most recent updated example or case )

*)I recommend you to use plato.stanford.edu as one of your source

Please email me your introduction (approx 200 words) so I could see it first and send it to my Professor since my Professor wanted to see the introduction first. Please don't make the essay further before I approve the Introduction ( cause if my Professor did not approve the intro, he won't even read the body).

I am expecting the Introduction to be done by today or tomorrow so you can finish the essay on time

thank you

8. Length: Each case study analysis must be 4 - 6 pages in length, excluding graphics, tables, appendices and other non-text materials.


The Case Study must include the following:
Case Analysis:
FACTS:
Summarize and explain all significant and relevant facts in the case.
Provide a succinct synthesis of the facts with an objective rather than evaluative statement, describing concrete aspects of the relevant situation or event(s) in the case in order to highlight a major ethical problem or dilemma that is frequently imbedded in the complex factual context.
You may list significant facts, but must begin this section with at least 1 brief paragraph. If you prefer, you may discuss the facts in paragraph format without listing.
ETHICAL ISSUES:
What is the most significant ethical issue(s) that will form the essential basis of your analysis? Issues in a case are usually phrased by raising normative questions: Should we?? Does the action?? For example: Do genetic testing and genetic susceptibility to certain traits have a place in hiring practices? The question is stated in a manner that can be answered yes or no. You must examine the issue(s) from a moral and ethical perspective (i.e., right or wrong, good or bad, fair or unfair, just or unjust). Issues may also be defined by identifying a specific ethical dilemma to be resolved. In any event, your position should be supported by well-reasoned arguments.
This section should be several paragraphs in length. Discuss EACH issue in 1-2
complete paragraphs. Explain why/how each issue is an ethical concern/issue.
ALTERNATIVES:
What alternatives would you identify to address and resolve the issues identified?
Alternatives are expressed in the form of propositions or prescriptive statements suggesting action and are framed by asking the normative question, what could or should the company do? Alternatives are specifically and succinctly stated incorporating a comprehensive list of at least three options for thorough investigation and analysis.
? Identify, analyze and evaluate in context all the relevant stakeholders, at least three or more, who are impacted either by being advantaged or disadvantaged as a result of the chosen proposition.
? Examine advantages and disadvantages of each alternative from a pro and con evaluative perspective, incorporating descriptive or normative analyses. The former asks ?why? and seeks specific empirical evidence from factual observation to evaluate proposed action. The latter asks ?what ought or should be? and reflects value judgments, beliefs, and assumptions of whether the proposition will work.
Apply ethical theories in context of your evaluations. For example, teleological or consequentialist theorists would examine who the stakeholders are, both internal and external to the company, and the positive and negative consequences for each group. Deontologists seek universality of principles from the facts, based on consistency and normative formulations of whether it should be universalized. Justice theorists ask what goods are being distributed, how they should be distributed, and what rights ensue from the type of distribution.
Suggest three (3) alternative resolutions for managing and addressing all the ethical issue(s) discussed in #2 above.
Answer in 1-2 complete paragraphs PER ALTERNATIVE. Your response in this section must be a minimum of 6 paragraphs in length.
Justify your answer.

RECOMMENDATION:
Which one (and only one) alternative do you recommend the company adopt and why? Compare, analyze, integrate, and support your recommendation based on synthesis and analysis of the relevant alternatives through factual analytic observations and normative inquiry, marshalling evidence or argumentation justifying, supporting or defending the reasoning for your choice in context of their impacts on relevant stakeholders, corporate and community interests. Who are the parties affected, what dichotomous interests may be at stake, and how would potential conflicts be accommodated? Extrapolate deductive evidentiary support for your position as postulated in at least three or more normative schools of thought including utilitarianism, deontology, justice, and virtue ethics.
Choose one (1), and only 1, of the alternatives discussed in #2 above as your recommendation. In making your decision, consider the effects of each alternative on all company stakeholders.
Explain and justify your recommendation. Persuasively justify your choice.
Answer in 2-3 paragraphs.

FUTURE IMPLICATIONS:
Discuss future implications of this case and its ethical issues for future business
organizations, both private and public organizations.

Answer in 2-3 paragraphs; be specific.
CONCLUSION:
Summarize the case and its ethical issues, implications in 1-2 paragraphs.

There are faxes for this order.

Based on your results, prepare a 1,000-1,300-word paper in which you describe your own ethical perspective and explain each of the four ethical perspectives:
Character/virtue
Obligation/deontology
Results/utilitarianism
Equity/relativism
Finally, be sure to discuss three issues you are likely to face in addressing ethical dilemmas in your workplace based on your ethical style according to the ethics awareness inventory.

Analysis of Personal and Organizational Ethics and Values between For-Profit and Not-for-Profit Organizations

Scenario:
You are an ethnographic researcher writing an article for a popular organizational behavior research journal. Your purpose is to identify key problems related to business ethics in a Not-for-Profit and For- Profit organization. In this potential article please complete the following activities:

Outline the company profile of the not for profit company you chose to analyze (consult the week #2 journal for the information you should include). Explain the ethical dilemma that it faced or is currently facing. Analyze the way that it responded to this ethical dilemma and outline the legal, social, or political outcomes that emerged after the actions were taken..
Outline the company profile of the for profit company you chose to analyze (consult the week #2 journal for the information you should include). Explain the ethical dilemma that it faced or is currently facing. Analyze the way that it responded to this ethical dilemma and outline the legal, social, or political outcomes that emerged after the actions were taken.
In part three of your paper, please provide your personal reflections on the ethical actions that were taken in relation to the problem. Evaluate those actions from your own ethical standpoint. Use these questions to inspire your analysis: Did the company respond in a morally responsible way? Did the company respond in a morally irresponsible way? Did the company create the ethical dilemma or was the dilemma the outcome of an unforeseen force? Could the company have done more? Who was responsible for the problem and how could it have been prevented?
Remember that when you analyze something you should present logical reasoning and factual evidence to support your position. Do not merely answer these questions using simplistic yes and no answers. Instead, you should always support your position with logical argumentation and evidence that explains why you believe what you believe.
In part 4 of your paper please create a critique of the actions of these companies based on two of the philosophical theories that you studied earlier in the course (deontology, utilitarianism, egoism, virtue ethics, moral relativism). Determine which moral theory the company appears to be abiding by in relation to this issue. Explain the attributes of the decision that make you believe that this is the ethical perspective of the company. If you agree with the ethical theory of the company, explain why this is the best ethical position on the issue. If you do not, explain which ethical position would be better to utilize in this situation and why you believe that this position is better. Here are some sample questions to guide your thinking:
Which ethical theory did the company use in making its decision? Was it the best? Why or why not?
Which ethical theory should the company have used? Why?
What is the ideal relationship between bad or suffering and profit?
What does it mean to run an ethical business?
What is the best way for a company to maintain its competitive edge and contribute to overall good or happiness in relation to its workers and customers?

8-10 page Paper

For this assignment, you should focus on the reading material for weeks 1-7 and YOU MUST READ the NORTEL CASE STUDY that is in the resources section of your classroom. If you choose, you may also research the library for additional background about Nortel (If you choose to do some additional research).

The breakdown of your paper should be as follows:

Introduction of Your Paper:

Provide an introduction of the topics that you will discuss below (Base your introduction on our reading material from weeks 1-7-It is basically all of the reading material from our class)

Body of your paper: (8-10 Pages total in length)-Your thoughts should be supported with key words from our text. You must answer all five questions below and include AT LEAST FIVE key words from our text when responding to EACH QUESTION. That means that you would use 25 of the key words in our text for this paper. BOLD each key term that you use from our text. This will show me that you are attempting to support your thoughts with key material from our text and that you are able to apply the material from our class. The five required questions are as follows:

1. From an ethical perspective, describe the factors that contributed to the rise and fall of Nortel.

2. What mechanisms should be put in place to better align managers with the interests of shareholders?

3. Would you describe the meltdown of Nortel more as a failure of ?people? or of ?capital market processes??

4. What happened to Nortel is similar to what happened to WorldCom and Enron inthe early 2000s, and to Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, and many other banks during the 2008 financial crisis. Why do businesspeople keep making the same mistake?

5. Discuss how to prioritize the following remedies to stop such recurrences: business education, regulation of accounting/financial markets, regulation of incentives, or regulation of punishment. Also, tell me your thought process about your decision about priorities.
