Social_Issues_and_Ethical_Responsibility_Simulation

Social Issues and Ethical Responsibility Simulation I will evaluate two simulations which are the Case of Fair Warning and the Case of Stringent Standards. In these two cases, the stakeholders include the various staffs of G- Biosport such as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), operations director, quality control manager, director of public relations, shareholders of the company, and the consumers of the company. These are the individual who are forthrightly influenced by any assessments or modifications made in the company. I made the decisions to inform the different stakeholders in relation to increase risk they may encounter. It is well accomplish through the spread of information through a lot of sources as posting an information sheet at bulletins, company’s website, and speaking with media or press, one more thing if possible make a hotline set up to talk with customer better. Only with enough awareness on the problems and issues with the company’s products can customers make informed decisions and take the right actions on right time. There are choices that the company can implement to resolve the problem. The first solution will be recall all the tainted product and refund customer’s money. It can be both utilitarian ethics and deontological ethics. From the utilitarian view, company will be to collect back all the bad goods and replace them with good one. To warning consumers will be a great part of the society to benefit as such it is a moral and right action. From the point of view of deontologist, it is ethical to inform the customers about the risks which they are exposed to. By being accountable to the consumers, then consumers will also be more convinced and dedicated to the company because of the morals and virtues which the company upholds. What are the differences between values, morals and ethics' They all provide behavioral rules, after all. It may seem like splitting hairs, but the differences can be important when persuading others. Values are the ruled, by which we make decisions about right and wrong, should and shouldn't, good and bad. They also tell us which are more or less important, which is useful when we have to trade off meeting one value over another. Morals have a greater social element to values and tend to have a very broad acceptance. Morals are far more about good and bad than other values. We thus judge others more strongly on morals than values. Ethics tend to be codified into a formal system or set of rules which are explicitly adopted by a group of people. Ethics are thus internally defined and adopted, whilst morals tend to be externally imposed on other people. If you accuse someone of being unethical, it is equivalent of calling them unprofessional and may well be taken as a significant insult and perceived more personally than if you called them immoral (which of course they may also not like).The rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession. Ethics of principled conviction asserts that intent is the most important factor. If you have good principles, then you will act ethically. Ethics of responsibility challenges this, saying that you must understand the consequences of your decisions and actions and answer to these, not just your high-minded principles. In the workplace I had to explain the changes in the taxes and how it would affect the employee’s salary. The State of Tennessee implemented the system EDISON, this cause for salaries to be place in a different tax bracket. Also the longevity will no longer be tax separately but in one lump sum which cause the employee salary to tax in a even higher tax bracket from their normal salary. I had to set up Town Hall meetings to explain the changes, applied information to the company website, made the EDISON Help Desk number available, and flyers. Also Human Resources Department available to assist with all concerns of the employees. The ways the external social pressures business ethics in the simulation were the media and the consumers. The decision were made to not only protect the image of the company but also the welfare of the consumers. By avoiding illegal behavior and acting consistent with the company’s core values might cause for unwanted response from the public. The consumer will feel that this company values them equally with the company. The values, integrity, and morals should be the core of a company.
