    HRM 548 Week 2 InterClean EnviroTech Merger Paper

    In this scenario, InterClean, had a plan in place that would assist the sanitation company in increasing its profitability. In doing so, there was a possibility of having to completely restructure the sales teams and marketing strategies that were already in place. The CEO of InterClean, David Spencer, is a middle aged businessman, who remains focused, and is completely driven in his efforts to ensure that this cleaning company increases its growth to become a leader within the sanitation industry. Initially, David and his team proposed a new service focus that entailed being the first within the industry to expand their cleaning company by introducing an all-inclusive service. While this is a great opportunity for growth, a huge concern is that the current sales team at InterClean is not knowledgeable on the current sanitation regulations, based on legal and environmental requirements. Because of this, Janet in HR began to work on screening new sales hires that had existing sales experience, which caused the existing employees to feel threatened for their job security. However, with the company headed in this new direction, mandatory training would take place for all employees, in hopes for boosting morale. As employees began to start rumors about the changes, the morale began to drop and they felt there was no long time employee loyalty.…

    Discussion Question 2

    Nothing great comes without a price. Although there are number of factors that influence the ethical behaviors of a person, none of these factors were powerful enough to change the unethical behaviors of these people CITATION Cer11 \l 1033 (Cernusca, 2011). If I were a high-level leader in this corporation, my personal ethics would not allow me to become ignorant to the situation that was occurring. Although millions of dollars were being distributed to these executives to essentially keep them quiet, there needed to be boundaries and a sense of empathy for all of the losses that others were suffering at the time. I would have alerted the proper authorities, made sure that all stakeholders were informed of the company’s debts and most importantly I would have sat all of the executives down to enforce the corporation’s code of ethics. If Lay was able to demote executives as quickly as he did for simply disagreeing with him, he had to have a reason and an ethical backing to support his decisions.…

    Ag Office Ethical Dilemmas

    It's quite obvious that to ignore the unethical behavior, and not do anything, would only create unwanted cynicism, doubt and distrust let alone integrity of the entire Board. So it's only logical to have an internal Board discussion at the next meeting on appropriate actions to take in this matter. This "closed door" deliberation will give you an opportunity to have that "constructive" discussion.…

    What Is Wells Fargo Ethical

    I realize that Wells Fargo is a giant corporation, and that they can’t see what every single employee is doing. However, this isn’t just one single person, this is over 5000 people going against the rules. I think goes back to the company’s culture. They put so much emphasis on selling, and to get it done no matter what. However, that doesn’t merit breaking the rules and being unethical. This has to stem from the top down. The executives probably weren’t very ethical in what they were doing, and it flowed down from there. They didn’t establish upstanding corporate values, and didn’t promote corporate ethics. They just had one goal, and that was to make money at any cost. What really irks me is that Stumpf didn’t take any responsibility and blamed it on the employees. As the top manger, you’re in charge of your subordinates. What they do reflects the company, and you as the CEO. Part of the CEO’s job is making sure the company is functioning properly, and I’m sure Stumpf could see what was happening. He knew what was going on and chose to ignore it, because it made him more money. As a CEO, you set the basis for what the company will do. Your actions and words can take your organization down a certain path. He most likely condoned these actions, and took unethical actions himself. He wasn’t being unethical just to be unethical, it was just to make more money. That’s what every single business in the country is…

    Josephus

    In 37 CE, Josephus Ben Mattathias was born in Jerusalem. Josephus was a Jew, also known as a Hebrew. He was born into a hasmonaean lineage. He became a Pharisee at the age of 19. It is said that he was born a few years after the time of Jesus also during the reign of the Romans in the Jewish homeland. In his early age, Josephus was sent to Rome to ask about the priests that were held hostage. In the midst of his return he found out that the Jewish nation was beginning a revolution against the Romans. Josephus was then chosen to become the commander of the revolutionary forces in Galilee. It is said that he became a leader at the time of the revolt of the Jews against the Romans during the reign of Emperor Nero. Josephus was then taken prisoner by Vespasian and decided to state that he was a prophet. Josephus prophecy came true; he stated that Vespasian would become the ruler of the entire world. After that matter Vespasian spared his life. Josephus prophesied and his prophesy came true which caused Vespasian to adopt Josephus into his family. According to Wikipedia, during the war, Josephus assisted the Roman commander Titus and then because of that the Jewish nation began to call Josephus a traitor. Josephus then decided that he would write about the war because he was a witness of it all. According to Wikipedia, he wrote also to warn other nations against opposing the Romans. According to Josephus, the war between the Jews and the Romans was the greatest of all. Cities fought against cities, and nations against nations. To avoid a lot of contradictions, perhaps Josephus decided to write books based on the events that took place during the Great Revolt. To avoid any contradictions he wrote his books and included every account from the beginning to the end. His work was full of details and information that is able to both educate and explain the war. His work was published a few years after the end of the war in 78 CE when he was about 40 years of age.…

    Internal Accountant’s Report to Management

    The stakes have never been higher. As a profitable entity with substantial operations, we are a lightning rod for possible fraud. As the US Government is very concerned with our ability to be a going concern and a healthy financial entity, if we have fraud in our operations, this is materially affecting our operations as every dollar of fraud reduces our net income by the same dollar (a one for one ratio of losses to our organization).…
