BUSN 115 Week 1 Discussion 1 | Assignment Help | Devry University
Week 1 Business Ethics
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Do you believe that a firm's social
responsibilities conflict with the ultimate goal of shareholder's wealth
maximization? Consider issues such as the protection of the environment and the
creation of jobs.
PS. Make sure you focus on quality
in your main 3 post for the week. Also, I'm not looking for you to copy
directly from your text, or research articles. Instead, I want you to
combine your own thoughts with the text and various sources you may choose to
cite. I will also add additional questions throughout the week in order
to maintain rigor throughout the discussions.
Quality—Content
of your contributions. Examples of quality posts include
citing your textbook at least once throughout the
week (It's imperative to connect your knowledge with an understanding
of the text). In addition, try to implement a few elements below:
providing additional information to
the discussion,
elaborating on previous comments from others,
presenting explanations of concepts or methods to help fellow students,
presenting reasons for or against a topic in a persuasive fashion,
sharing your own personal experiences that relate to the topic, and
providing a URL and explanation for an area you researched on the Internet.
This is an example of a high quality
post to the question:
I do believe there is conflict when
it comes down to social responsibilities vs "shareholders wealth
maximization". As said in the book corporations need to have a strict code
of conduct that is determined based on the company as a whole not just the
wealthy men at the top per say. (Boove, 2004 pg72) Wealth is not just determined
on cash and physical aspects. The companies that last the longest care the most
about there employees.
I currently work for suntrust and
the first day of training we started with there mission statement which is
"lighting the way to financial wellbeing for clients, teammates and the
community" My company takes more time in training there employees on the
way to speak to a client and how to assist in certain situations rather than on
new equipment or on new buildings.
It is my opinion that wealth is
through a happy customer rather than the money growth of the company and when
we loose sight of that the whole moral of the company becomes clouded.
This is an example of a poor quality
post to the question:
Yes I do truly believe there are
issues. I feel people should be paid upon production, safety, and values there
for code of ethics. I understand money is the bottom line but to maximize
wealth treating employees correctly and fairly will make everyone
successful.
Question 2
1/9/2019
Ladies and Gentlemen,
How do ethics differ from corporate
social responsibility? Also, how do companies support ethical behavior? Please
share an example from a present/past employer or any company you prefer.
Question 3 1/12/2018
Ladies and gentlemen,
Thanks for a solid week in the
discussions! We covered social responsibilities and shareholder's
wealth maximization. In addition, the group had some insightful feedback
on the difference between ethics and corporate social responsibility.
This is the final question. Based on what you’ve learned about ethics
and corporate social responsibility (CSR), what effect will ethics and CSR
considerations have on your job search? Can you share a company you would want
to work for based on their ethical and CSR model?
