Cultural considerations for opening franchises in other countries include being sensitive to different values around food, social behaviors, and work attitudes. Training is needed to understand whether cultures are individualistic or collective. Managers may experience cultural shock and need help adapting. While expeditors can cut bureaucracy, their methods may be illegal or unethical, raising issues around seeking them out and business ethics across countries with different laws.

Education

Part I : Wha
t are some of the considerations to keep in mind concering the
values that the different cultures have on food eating, the social
behaviors to be sensitive to regarding employees and customers,
the training required, the work attitudes and any ethical
standards that you would like to impart? Are the attitudes in the
countries individualistic or collective?
Part II :
If you were to send your top manger to these countries what
type of cultural shock should they expect? How would you help
them alleviate this stress?
Part III
: In many countries "expeditors" can help you cut through
layers of bureaucracy so that you can get your business done or
done faster. Expeditors are normally paid for what they do and
they ask you to help finance others that will move your business
request through the system faster. The methods that are being
used could ultimately be illegal or maybe not. 1.) If your
mangers needed to be asked would you seek out an expeditor if
the methods in the United States are perceived as illegal but
acceptable in the country they are trying to open the franchise
in? 2.) What business ethics are involved in this decision?

Week 10 - Business Ethics in a Global Economy Be sure to read the lecture notes thoroughly, as they supplement the information offered in digital material within the course. You will be responsible to know the information provided here and in your assigned reading. I. Ethical Perceptions And International Business The self-reference criterion (SRC) is the idea that people perceive differences between themselves and citizens of other countries when traveling abroad; they may believe the values of their own country to be ethically superior to those of others. The SRC is an unconscious reference to one's own cultural values, experiences, and knowledge. When confronted with a situation, a person reacts on the basis of knowledge accumulated over a lifetime and usually grounded in the culture of origin. These reactions are based on meanings, values, and symbols that relate to the culture of origin, but may not have the same relevance to people of other cultures. In the United States, for example, dumping---the practice of charging high prices for products sold in domestic markets while selling the same products in foreign markets at low prices, often below the costs of exporting the products---is viewed negatively, and this country has a number of anti-dumping laws. 1. Culture as a Factor in Business 1. Ethical issues that arise from international business activities often differ significantly from those that evolve from domestic business activities. 2. Culture is everything in our surroundings made by people: both tangible items and intangible concepts and values. This definition includes language, religion, law, politics, technology, education, social organization, general values, and ethical standards. 1. Each nation has a distinctive culture and, consequently, distinctive beliefs about what business activities are acceptable or unethical. 2. Distinct subcultures can also be found within many nations. 3. One of the critical ethical issues linked to cultural differences is the question of whose values and ethical standards take precedence in negotiations and business transactions. 2. Adapting Ethical Systems to a Global Framework 1. When businesspeople rationalize straying from their own ethical values when doing business abroad, they are resorting to cultural relativism: the concept that morality varies from one culture to another and that business practices are therefore differentially defined as right or wrong by particular cultures. 2. As business becomes more global and multinational corporations proliferate, the chances of ethical conflict increase. II. Global Values 1. There have been numerous attempts to establish a set of global or universal ethical standards. 1. Many of these efforts show a pattern of shared values, such as truthfulness, integrity, fairness, and equality, which suggest a universal set of ethics that can be applied to business across the globe. 2. The shared values assume that we all have basic rights and res.

peer1 Analyze and explain the ethical considerations associated with managing information. Technology can pose to be a blessing and a curse at the same time. The information provided is quick and efficient but unethical considerations can take place easily. This past decade, there has been numerous attempts by many different governments, countries, states, people, who have potential of breaking the law and violating the rights of citizens for selfish gain. according to an online article, "Ethics refers to the principles of right and wrong that individuals, acting as free moral agents, use to make choices to guide their behaviors" (Zheng, 2013). The first concern with managing information is ensuring the information cannot be manipulated. Ethical issues would be considerations to privacy and inappropriate use of information, global access to these systems and control of these systems. Managers would have to ensure safety guards are in place to protect the privacy of their clients, financial information and other important information for the organization. Per an article in Colorado edu, "The broad issues relating to electronic information systems include control of and access to information, privacy and misuse of data, and international considerations. All of these extend to electronic networks, electronic databases, and, more specifically, to geographic information systems. Specific problems within each of the three areas, however, require slightly different kinds of ethical decisions" (Lynch, 1994). Cause-related marketing has become a controversial issue among potential donors and funders. What are the potential pitfalls associated with cause-related marketing? Cause-related marketing is a nonprofit organization networking with a well known company and the well known company promoting and supporting the nonprofit organization. While this seems to be an excellent idea, because this sheds light on the cause of the nonprofit organization, the potential problems this can cause is the one of the organizations could make bad decisions, which will make the other one look bad. Companies have to protect their reputation and we can see many companies affected, due to bad business practices from the other company. Another issue is according to an article in Wealth Group, "Cause-related marketing triggers issues under Federal and state laws governing false or misleading advertising, state commercial co-venture laws, and Better Business Bureau Standards" (Mathis, 2015). Large organizations may advertise they may donate to a cause, without disclosing the specifics of their donation, misleading the population and causing for the company to be investigated. Consider yourself as a volunteer hired to develop a template for gathering information about major gift prospects. What information would be the most important? Why? Knowing who your major supporters are, is key to the survival of a nonprofit organization. The first important informa.

Part 1 1. Think about a company you have worked for, either currently or in the past. Reflect upon the corporate culture with respect to the practice of ethics within the organization. What was leadership's role in establishing this culture within the organization? How did power and motivation relate to the degree of ethical conduct? 2. Many organizations have started using behavioral targeting in order to capture your website visitor movements. This data is used in order to personalize advertising when you are surfing the web. Some businesses have started collecting personal information outside of your web clicking to create a profile of you. Do you have any personal issues with these practices? At what point could this type of data collection turn into an ethical dilemma? How about a legal issue? Part 2 Select a significant tragic event (either domestic or global) that has occurred during the last 50 years. The interactive PowerPoint in this unit provides some ideas of historical tragic events but understand that these are just ideas. After describing the event and the post-tragedy events, discuss the ethical aspects revolving around this incident. This may require some additional research to understand the ethical situations and the impact these had on affected people being able to move on with their lives. 1. Describe the actions of people and organizational leaders directly and indirectly involved with the tragedy. Specifically, address the ethical issues they faced. MBA 6301, Business Ethics 3 2. What were some of the actions of local, state and federal personnel with respect to dealing with this tragedy? 3. Explain the strategies of organizations that attempted to assist with the clean-up after the tragic event. Describe several of the pressures that influenced their strategies. Distinguish between social responsibility, integrity and simple business ethics. 4. How has this event affected the ethical culture here in the United States? What other affect has it had on society as a whole? Your response should be a minimum of two double-spaced pages. References should include, at minimum, one additional credible reference beyond the required reading. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations, and cited per APA guidelines. .

EACH SET OF 2 HAS ITS OWN INSTRUCTIONS: Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. When responding to your classmates, please provide a resource located in your region that assists clients with acquiring interview and professional clothing (e.g., a clothing closet at a church such as Hope Ministries Clothes Closet of Bushnell, FL; Dress for Success of Phoenix, AZ; Bottomless Closet of Milwaukee, WI; etc.). Explain what the resource offers clients—be specific. Support your initial and subsequent posts by citing at least two scholarly and peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course text. The Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. TAMMY’S POST: The scenario As a human service professional, the agency I represent only provides career assistance, none of which is monetary; all other assistance is a referral to other resources. My sincerely motivated client cannot afford clothes for interviews. Other options have been exhausted. Kitchener's ethical decision-making model Kitchener's model is based on five assumptions that need to be at the core of any ethical evaluation and assumes that all ethical behaviors are presumed to be based on 1) autonomy, acting on free-will 2) beneficence, the intention is of benefit to the client, 3) nonmaleficence, actions are not harmful to the client, 4) justice, respect to rights and dignity of client and agency, and 5) fidelity, to commit to client need as appropriate to agency mission (Martin, 2018). Applying the NOHS ethical principle to my rationale The NOHS preamble states its purpose as providing human service professionals and educators with guidelines to manage ethical dilemmas effectively broken down into two sections. The first section focusing on human service professionals standards, and the second section focusing on human service educator standards. The human service professional standards categorize responsibilities of and to the client, community, and agency. The standards hone in on respect for dignity, honoring integrity, doing no harm, and avoiding exploitation by maintaining self-awareness and awareness of historical and current global influences that impact oppression and marginalization and demonstrate ethical personal and professional aspects. A human service professional has a duty to clients to recognize client strengths, a right to confidentiality, protect client records, avoid intimate relationships with clients, and not impose personal biases and values. To the public and society, these standards extend a professional obligation to provide services without discrimination or bias, the awareness of laws and advocacy if these violate client rights, how social and political issues impact diversity, and social justice advocacy eliminate oppression (Martin, 2018). My mission and rationale To choose a profession upholding clients' empowerment st.

Part I: Genetics – From Genes to Proteins, Mutations Background: DNA represents the architectural blueprint for all living systems, encoding specific instructions in the sequence of its four nitrogen-containing base pairs that are necessary for building the organism. During the process of transcription, the information in the DNA codons of a gene is transcribed into RNA. A change in the DNA sequence, for example as a result of a "mistake" during DNA replication, is defined as a mutation. Mutations may result in a change in the "blueprint," which may then change the resulting protein product. Assignment details for part one: Transcribe and translate EACH of the three following DNA gene sequences. Turn these in using the graphic organizer. The letters represent the DNA N-base sequences of the genes. The first is the original gene. The next two are mutations of the original. Note that the changes (mutations) are shown in red. Original Gene sequence 3'-T A C C C T T T A G T A G C C A C T-5 Mutated gene sequence 1 3’-T A C G C T T T A G T A G C C A T T-5' Mutated gene sequence 2 3’-T A A C C T T T A C T A G G C A C T-5’ Also, answer the following questions: What is the significance of the first and last codons of an mRNA transcript? What meaning do these mRNA codons have for protein synthesis? Did the mutations result in a change in the final proteins? If so, describe the change. In general, why might a change in amino acid sequence affect protein function? Part II: Inheritance of Traits or Genetic Disorders Background : Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that affects the respiratory, digestive, or reproductive systems of the body, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Bob and Sally are recently married. Upon deciding to plan a family, both Sally and Bob find out that they are both heterozygous for cystic fibrosis , but neither of them has symptoms of the disorder. Assignment details: Complete a Punnett Square for cystic fibrosis for this couple using the following alleles: C = normal allele ; and c = allele for cystic fibrosis . Complete the Punnett Square in the graphic organizer. Also answer the following questions: Based on the Punnett square, calculate chances (percentages) for the following: for having a healthy child (not a carrier) a child that is a carrier for the cystic fibrosis trait a child with cystic fibrosis Be sure to submit these percentages as part of your assignment in the Graphic Organizer. Part III: Cell division, sexual reproduction and genetic variability Background : Eukaryotic cells can divide by mitosis or meiosis. In humans, mitosis produces new cells for growth and repair; meiosis produces sex cells (gametes) called sperm and eggs. Although mutations are the ultimate source of genetic variability, both meiosis and sexual reproduction also can contribute to new genetic combinations in offspring. Assignment Essay Question: How do both meiosis and sexual reproduction (fertilizat.

Part I: How does Trifles help us think about different perspectives or perceptions? Think about what the male/female characters in the play understand and perceive about the world around them--and consider what the men's and women's conversations and actions reveal about their attitudes toward the opposite sex . Part II : Reading Modern literature can sometimes be a frustrating quest for coherence and meaning. Modernist authors tend to omit explanations, interpretations, connections, and summaries that we are accustomed to in traditional literature. O'Neill's method in The Hairy Ape demonstrates a striking departure from traditional stage drama since audiences are faced with an exaggerated and stark realism, and with dialog that is crude, natural, and slangy. How do you react to the play? What happens to Yank that leads him to expose his primitive interior self? What happens at the end, and how are we--the reading or viewing audience--to interpret his death? Please post no fewer than 300 words, making sure to balance your answers to Parts I and II. You should use quotations from the text to support your points, but make sure they don't dominate your posts. .

Part I: Name one surprising fact you discovered about any of this week's authors. Why did it surprise you? Part II: Most of the works this week were somewhat specific in terms of location. How might the perspective have changed if the events were placed in a another location ? For instance, lynchings took place in the North, as well as the South. What is the significance of placing "Song for a Dark Girl" in the South? How would the impact have changed without that information? That is only one example.

Part A Some questions in Part A require that you access data from Statistics for People Who (Think T hey) Hate Statistics . This data is available on the student website under the Student Text Resources link. Using the data in the file named Ch. 11 Data Set 2, test the research hypothesis at the .05 level of significance that boys raise their hands in class more often than girls. Do this practice problem by hand using a calculator. What is your conclusion regarding the research hypothesis? Remember to first decide whether this is a one- or two-tailed test. Using the same data set (Ch. 11 Data Set 2), test the research hypothesis at the .01 level of significance that there is a difference between boys and girls in the number of times they raise their hands in class. Do this practice problem by hand using a calculator. What is your conclusion regarding the research hypothesis? You used the same data for this problem as for Question 1, but you have a different hypothesis (one is directional and the other is nondirectional). How do the results differ and why? Practice the following problems by hand just to see if you can get the numbers right. Using the following information, calculate the t test statistic. Using the results you got from Question 3 and a level of significance at .05, what are the two-tailed critical values associated with each? Would the null hypothesis be rejected? Using the data in the file named Ch. 11 Data Set 3, test the null hypothesis that urban and rural residents both have the same attitude toward gun control. Use IBM ® SPSS ® software to complete the analysis for this problem. A public health researcher tested the hypothesis that providing new car buyers with child safety seats will also act as an incentive for parents to take other measures to protect their children (such as driving more safely, child-proofing the home, and so on). Dr. L counted all the occurrences of safe behaviors in the cars and homes of the parents who accepted the seats versus those who did not. The findings: a significant difference at the .013 level. Another researcher did exactly the same study; everything was the same—same type of sample, same outcome measures, same car seats, and so on. Dr. R’s results were marginally significant (recall Ch. 9) at the .051 level. Which result do you trust more and why? In the following examples, indicate whether you would perform a t test of independent means or dependent means. Two groups were exposed to different treatment levels for ankle sprains. Which treatment was most effective? A researcher in nursing wanted to know if the recovery of patients was quicker when some received additional in-home care whereas when others received the standard amount. A group of adolescent boys was offered interpersonal skills counseling and then tested in September and May to see if there was any impact on family harmony. One group of adult men was given instructions in reducing their hi.

Part A Once a change management project is underway, it is important to monitor the progress of the project, make changes as necessary and prepare the organization for the outcome of the change. Discuss the role of the leader in the change process, the different responsibilities that leaders and HR managers have in a change project. Part B Organizations, like all cultures, must continue to evolve or they stagnate and eventually become obsolete. Using change management tools can help an organization to stay vibrant and evolve over time to remain competitive. Research change management models and address the following: Describe two or three change management models .

Part A Some questions in Part A require that you access data from Statistics for People Who (Think T hey) Hate Statistics . This data is available on the student website under the Student Text Resources link. 1. Use the following data to answer Questions 1a and 1b. Total no. of problems correct (out of a possible 20) Attitude toward test taking (out of a possible 100) 17 94 13 73 12 59 15 80 16 93 14 85 16 66 16 79 18 77 19 91 a. Compute the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient by hand and show all your work. b. Construct a scatterplot for these 10 values by hand. Based on the scatterplot, would you predict the correlation to be direct or indirect? Why? 2. Rank the following correlation coefficients on strength of their relationship (list the weakest first): +.71 +.36 –.45 .47 –.62 3. Use IBM ® SPSS ® software to determine the correlation between hours of studying and grade point average for these honor students. Why is the correlation so low? Hours of studying GPA 23 3.95 12 3.90 15 4.00 14 3.76 16 3.97 21 3.89 14 3.66 11 3.91 18 3.80 9 3.89 4. Look at the following table. What type of correlation coefficient would you use to examine the relationship between ethnicity (defined as different categories) and political affiliation? How about club membership (yes or no) and high school GPA? Explain why you selected the answers you did. Level of Measurement and Examples Variable X Variable Y Type of correlation Correlation being computed Nominal (voting preference, such as Republican or Democrat) Nominal (gender, such as male or female) Phi coefficient The correlation between voting preference and gender Nominal (social class, such as high, medium, or low) Ordinal (rank in high school graduating class) Rank biserial coefficient The correlation between social class and rank in high school Nominal (family configuration, such as intact or single parent) Interval (grade point average) Point biserial The correlation between family configuration and grade point average Ordinal (height converted to rank) Ordinal (weight converted to rank) Spearman rank correlation coefficient The correlation between height and weight Interval (number of problems solved) Interval (age in years) Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient The correlation between number of problems solved and the age in years 5. When two variables are correlated (such as strength and running speed), it also means that they are associated with one another. But if they are associated with one another, then why does one not cause the other? 6. Given the following information, use Table B.4 in Appendix B of Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics to determine whether the correlations are significant and how you would interpret the results. a. The correlation between speed and strength for 20 women is .567. Test these results at the .01 level using a one-tailed test. b. The correlation between the number co.

Part I: Describe the homeless narrator. What does Jackson Jackson mean when he says that he's been "disappearing" slowly but surely, "piece by piece"? Compare those lines with the closing lines (breathtaking in their beautiful imagery) when Jackson says, "They all watched me dance with my grandmother. I was my grandmother, dancing." (Sherman Alexie- “What You Pawn I Will Redeem”) Part II: Although the setting is Boston, we are exposed to Indian culture and values in Jhumpa Lahiri's "The Third and Final Continent." To what extent is the story about social and cultural differences--their reconcilability or irreconcilability? To what extent is the story about love, compatibility, disappointment, endurance, hope, against all odds? (Jhumpa Lahiri- “The Third and Final Continent”) Part III: Optional Extra Story/Response: After reading Native American author Louise Erdrich's short story "The Shawl" , consider how it is possible that children can re-envision and actually rewrite the history of their parents to create an opportunity for healing old wounds. This story tends to elicit an emotional response from readers. If you're one of them, share your experience after reading it. Please post no fewer than 300 words making sure to balance your answers to the separate parts. You should use quotations to support your points, but they should not dominate your posts. .
