Wal-Mart: But We Do Give Case Study

There are many companies today that are being run very successfully, by women. Women are just like men they want to succeed in the workplace and working at Wal-mart does not change this. Wanting to do well at a job is human nature and is not just reserved for the men of the world. 3. Wal-Mart is continually criticized for its health-care policy. Is this really a controversy in the area of business Ethics? Why or why not?

The fact that Wal-Mart does not provide affordable insurance for their employees is not really an issue in the area of business ethics. Even though health care is a hot issue around the country today, it is not really one rooted in ethics. With the new health reform that is coming down the pike though this might change as people are going to be forced to buy health insurance (Sebelius, 2011), which then might hurl this issue into the area of ethics, because people will not feel that they should be made to buy something by the government

4. Should Wal-Mart be concerned about unionization of stores since allowing unionization of workers in China?

It does not appear that Wal-mart has had any real fallout from the unionization of workers in China, but because of the differences in the culture and business practices between that country and this one, there would sure be issues if unionization were to try to be done here. Unions is China a not near as powerful as they are in the...

...

They also do not have near the history that they have in this country and thus do not have the same connotation that they do here (Gross, 2011). The culture of unions is this country is something that Wal-Mart has always tried to stay away from and will most like continue to stay away from them in the future.
