    Company Q is a small local grocery store chain that has a poor attitude toward social responsibility. After reviewing the given, I feel the chain is more committed to profit than social responsibility. Most companies are in a business to make a profit, however, the difference in what is considered reasonable and what is considered ridiculous comes into play. Most people start companies because it something they are interested in and to make a living. In today’s society the line between outright social responsibility neglect and compliance is clearly drawn, Company Q clearly did not cross over the line into being socially responsible.…

    Around the world, the assumption has been that everyone will make the correct choices when it comes to workplace attitude and ethics. Unfortunately, this is not the case. There are situations where employees will encounter unethical situations and either choose to ignore them, become a full participant, or expose the issue. One’s personal decision can either make or break their future of economic earning potential or opportunities. Ignoring small beginnings in life can potentially lead to the loss of gaining the explosive prospects that are surfacing.…

    Walmart vs Starbcuks

    • 415 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the sustainability strategy and Triple Bottom line of Starbucks and Walmart. As a consumer it was very interesting to learn more about two major corporations which I have invested in over the years. By analyzing their mission, values and core competencies I was able to assess which corporation has a more holistic approach toward implementing the Triple Bottom line. At the end it came down to ethics and based on this premise I am proud to say I am a loyal Starbucks consumer. The following analysis will compare Wal-Mart’s and Starbucks business ethics in regards to people, profit and planet. It will support my argument of Starbucks becoming a lovemark not by slashing prices but by focusing on the consumer experience. As Kevin Roberts states in his book The future beyond brands - lovemarks “If you were to say, name a brand that has managed to get big fast, make quality products, treat its people very well and respectfully, and understand the differences in economies and tastes in other parts of the world while continuing to grow, it will be Starbucks” (2004, p.120).…

    Uncivility In Workplace

    • 500 Words
    • 2 Pages

    However, workplace incivility has been a newer term in the plethora of research available on unethical behaviors (Hanrahan & Leiter, 2014). Workplace incivility is an umbrella term that refers to low-intensity deviant behaviors with ambiguous intent to harm the target, in violation of workplace norms for mutual respect. These uncivil behaviors are typically rude and discourteous, displaying a lack of regard toward others and often include demeaning remarks and activities like not listening to others (Andersson & Pearson, 1999; Porath & Pearson, 2009). A dissection of the above definition, points out three components of workplace incivility: violation of workplace norms and respect, ambiguous intent, and low intensity (Andersson & Pearson, 1999). The very first part is a violation of organizational norms. Although organizations have their unique work culture yet they all agree on certain minimum acceptable norms, expectations and interactional conduct from its employees. Uncivil acts disturb this kind of agreement and unsettle the very well-being of the organization as well as its employees (Andersson & Pearson, 1999; Lim, Cortina, & Magley, 2008). The second component is the ambiguous intent behind the workplace uncivil behavior. Research…

    Many sociologists have said that the sociology of deviance is dead, such as Colin Sumner in 1975. It was said that behaviors are not deviant but rather just seen as not normal in society, but the term ‘normal’ cannot exactly be defined. Deviance is a discipline in Sociology that many claim is now ‘dead’. Deviance is an act with refers to ‘norm-breaking’ in our society.
