Code of Ethics Case Study

Jenni is the Human Resource Manager at a small toy-manufacturing firm. Among her other duties, she is responsible for providing a new employee orientation for each new hire. Part of the orientation program deals with explaining the company’s Code of Ethics. The company is small and resources are tight, so the Code of Ethics asks employees to refrain from using company time or equipment for personal reasons. Jenni often has to work late and on weekends to keep up with her work. She has two school age children who she calls from work each afternoon, so she can make sure they arrived home safely.

Sam, a new employee went to his boss, Jane, to ask for clarification on the Internet policy. Sam wanted to use his office computer on his break to look up information for his son’s school project, but Jenni had told him at orientation that Internet usage was restricted to business purposes. Barb told Sam it was fine to use the Internet on his break because everyone else did. Sam used the Internet on his breaks for the next 10 days to help his son.

Katie has been an employee for ten years. She started at the company before there was a code of ethics and didn’t receive training. Katie teaches a Sunday school class at her church and frequently takes paper, pens, and other basic office supplies to use in her class. Katie knows her company donates to local charities. She considers this use of supplies a donation from her company and didn’t even consider asking for permission for such a small amount of supplies.

Dave looks up porn on the Internet during his breaks. He missed his orientation due to illness. Jenni said she would reschedule it, but she has forgotten. He is too busy to remind her since he just landed a major department store chain that will assure that his division makes their goal for the year.

Jean has been an exceptional employee for the past 10 years. The company is too small to offer her many

    When I think about it, I have encountered different ethical dilemmas in my place of work. One issue that has come up recently, was that of one of my employees came to me to discuss a hygiene issue she was having with one of the other workers in the office. At the time, I wasn’t sure about how to approach the situation, but thought back to some of my management training I had about 7 months ago, and what steps I should take to address the issue in the most professional as well as respectful manner. If I were to look at it from an ethical perspective, and that of a utilitarian view, I would have to say that the ethical action is the one that provides the…

    What the General Prologue offers is a brief, often very visual description of each pilgrim, focusing on details of their background, as well as key details of their clothing, their food likes and dislikes, and their physical features. These descriptions fall within a common medieval tradition of portraits in words (which can be considered under the technical term ekphrasis), Chaucer's influence in this case most likely coming from The Romaunt de la Rose.…

    I’m a student. Sergiu Nicolaescu was born on the 13th of April 1930, in Targu-Jiu, Romania. In his childhood, he spent a lot of time at the cinema. He was inspired by the films he saw 2 or 3 times, and he played "war" or "mystery" games with 30 fellow kids in the suburbs of his native town. After finishing high school, Nicolaescu was accepted by three colleges. He finally attended the Romanian Marine Corps. His father was an engineer, he worked for King Michael. Therefore, after the King's abdication in 1947, his father was arrested. Nicolaescu entered the realm of cinematography by chance. A friend offered him a job in the Bucharest Studios of that time. He didn't expect a career in directing, but his short poetic movie called Memoria trandafirului earned some attention at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival. In 1967,Dacii (1967) became the first Romanian hit-movie in Western Europe. Subsequently, Nicolaescu was internationally appreciated as a worthwhile historical films director. He had the privilege to work in France, Germany and other countries on several projects in the seventies and eighties. He directed Michael the Brave (1971) and Atunci i-am condamnat pe toti la moarte (1972), two of the best Romanian movies ever. He also was responsible for such indigenous blockbusters as Nemuritorii (1974),Cu mîinile curate (1972),Noi, cei din linia întîi (1985) and Mircea (1989). Uncle Marin, the Billionaire (1979) is his only comedy to date. After the Romanian Revolution (1989), Nicolaescu became a political figure, but he continued to direct movies. Without the assistance of the military, he couldn't complete as many epics as he did back in the Communist era. Oglinda (1993) and Triunghiul mortii (1999) were well-received at the box-office. A "Steven Spielberg of the Romanian cinema", Nicolaescu is a self-taught technician and, sometimes, an artist who approached various genres and themes. Indeed, most of his films have an evident commercial tinge, but despite new voices…
