    Business Law BUSI561 Case Study 1

    “While the development of fundamental values is crucial, integrity is the one value that is required in every authentic leader. Integrity is not just the absence of lying, but telling the whole truth, as painful as it may be. If you don't exercise complete integrity in your interactions, no one will trust you” (Bauman, 2013 pg13). The recruiter gave Ramona vague responses regarding questionable business practices as well as false marketing by stating that Next Step sent researchers around the world in search of new organic sources. In addition the CEO’s lack of integrity is shown when he insulted Americans in his speech, this action showed no respect or concern for the community or consumers. Looking at integrity from a…

    The Good The Bad And Your Business Summary

    Like was said earlier, telling the truth can be challenging. However, since lying can become a habit, the test for business people is to not become someone who constantly lives a lie. Another theory Seglin discusses is the various degrees of lying. From the point of view of two businessmen, it seems that lying is a must for anyone starting their own business without either capital or experience. The author disagrees with this but does argue that there is a qualitative difference between posturing and lying.…

    Case Study

    The tenure of Jeff Immelt as CEO of General Electric has been nothing short of interesting. With accusations of unethical practices by his firm (allegations of cooking their books), along with unethical dealings domestically such as his appointment in the Obama administration after being one of its biggest campaign contributors (Int. Ref. #4), and internationally dealing with countries like Iran and Syria by the company (Int. Ref. #2), one cannot overlook GE’s current culture that has been established by Immelt and draw reasonable conclusions. Here we will look at the CEO and the culture he has put forth though the company since his appointment in 2001.…

    Chapter 3 Case Study

    A) Joseph has many risk factors, one of them including his family has a history of vascular disease, and he had not thought much about it because he was not living a healthy life style. He had gained weight from eating fatty foods, and had started smoking again. Joseph had a lot of stress from working long hours, and did nothing when he had felt tightness in his chest. These risk factors all affect cellular function. The blood slows, along with oxygen, glucose, and essential ions it carries that are required for the heart to pump, this rapidly uses up ATP supply. Eventually, the cells begin to die, and become leaky. Sodium slowly begins to leak into the cells and potassium leaks out.…

    The forms of communication were appropriate for the intended audiences and were kept professional. The individuals had all worked together before, so the communicator was able to know how the information was going to affect the individual receiving the message.

    Winning by Jack Welch

    UNDERNEATH IT ALL takes a look at what goes on behind the scenes is getting a business up and going. The one thing that stood out to me in this first section and is mentioned time and time again throughout the book is candor. Welch has talked about using candor for over twenty years and is amazed that it is not used as much as it should be. Welch actually calls the lack of candor “the biggest dirty little secret in business” (p. 25) Welch believes that people should not be afraid to say things like they are. Say what you feel, etc. He believes that a company will run much better with candor going on. Welch has a theory about candor that he calls the Candor Effect.…

    Leonard Hadley's Case Of Maytag: Management And Decision Management

    The way that he was able to utilize the right amount of power to remove foreign managers who weren’t operating Maytag’s subsidiaries profitably and to recalibrate resources toward making quality products that would end up increasing Maytag’s bottom line proved to members of the organization that he held knowledge and abilities above others. His expert power achieved in managing and directing the company toward the correct goals and objectives made his commands more trustworthy from the subordinates’ perspectives (Bases of Social Power, pp. 450-451). Employees and lower-level managers are less resistant against Hadley’s instruction when they respect his legitimate authority, value relations with him, and find him to be trustworthy in his…
