Each business should have a framework for ensuring ethical behavior. The structure, format, and scope of codes vary depending on the company’s business. An oil company's code, for example, would probably have different criteria and emphases than a healthcare provider's code of ethics. Sometimes, codes of ethics are called by other names, such as an employee code of conduct. A code of ethics, though, should be differentiated from standard good operating practices.…

The code of ethics is adopted by organizations to assist members in understanding the difference between 'right' and 'wrong' and in applying that understanding to their decisions. An effective code of ethics should also help to delineate the proper procedures to determine whether a violation of the code of ethics has occurred and, if so, what remedies should be imposed. After reviewing the company’s code of ethics, we found that it has well established the concept of business ethics and the company’s objective, and also several kinds of encouragement to promote the ethical business behavior effectively. The company’s code of ethics, however, is not practical enough for implementation as the content is too general and vague, and there are not enough guidelines and regulations to help the staff to detect or solve the ethical issues.…

The economy today is as depressing as the time of the Great Depression with no light at the end of the tunnel for many consumers. The United States fell into a recession several years ago and is threatening to fall into a second recession. The sad part is many consumers believe that they were never out of the original recession. Many people are to blame for the economic downfall of the United States however pointing the finger will not help the current status of the economy. With unemployment on the rise, future health care declining, social security is threatened, and outsourcing of jobs climbing to an all-time high, one may say it is dooms day for the way of life that was once known and loved in the United States. So with no quick fix in sight many Americans have decided to take matters into their own hands in hopes of stimulating the economy. One particular idea was to create one stop shop supercenters with affordable products priced fairly with the struggling consumers in mind. Four college students attending the University of Phoenix seeking a bachelor’s of science degree with a focus on business management took this idea by horns and ran with it. These four young inspired students were challenged by their professor John Smith, created a new one stop shop called the Superstore. The store is established and the base of operation is in Charlotte North Carolina. After much planning and prospecting the Superstore was erected, and the doors were open for business. The store boasted a large bright atmosphere with a calming demeanor. Unlike much of the competition that appeared dark, dreary, unorganized, and cheap with a warehouse like demeanor. The Super Store provided grocery, health and beauty care, clothing, shoes, fashion, automotive, home décor, pharmacy, electronics, fast food restaurants, vision care, furniture, gas stations, and more than 20 other departments.…
