It concerns itself with the study of organizations and management, with a focus on anything relevant to the management, design and effectiveness of an organization. (John Martin – Organizational Behavior and Management 3rd Edition, Thomson Learning 2005, p.4.) I will critically evaluate why organizational behavior is important to the success of an organization by focusing specifically on two key areas: organizational structure and motivation.…

    Human rights do not have to be bought, earned or inherited; they belong to people simply because they are human. Human rights are inherent to each individual. Ethical standards are principles that when followed, promote values such as trust, good behavior, fairness, and/or kindness. There is not one consistent set of standards that all companies follow, but each company has the right to develop the standards that are meaningful for their organization. Ethical standards are not always easily enforceable, as they are frequently vaguely defined and somewhat open to interpretation ("Men and women should be treated equally,” or "Treat the customer with respect and kindness."). Others can be more specific, such as "Do not share the customer's private information with anyone outside of the company.…
