What are the consequences of stakeholder ethics with regards to organizational goals and productivity Solution stakeholders are the people who contributes their services to the firm, they includes; customers, employees, owners/promoters, media, society, government, suppliers and competitors. if an organization is considering all the requirements of stakeholders as a whole, it means that it is doing good. here it should treat all the stakeholders equally, and should not works for one community or one kind of people to the organization. if the organization works to protect the rights and requirements of all stakeholders, it means that they are doing good. the ultimate goal of any organization is wealth maximization, in that process it has to satisfy all its stakeholders. if not, they never reach the goal. so, in my words, if an organization is fulfilling all its stakeholders requirements, there are no chances to violate ethics..

1. What are the similarities and differences between the seppuku of the Lieutenant in “Patriotism”
(1936) and the 47 Ronin (18th cent.). Discuss: a. When did the incidents take place? b. Who
participated in the seppuku? c. Why did it take place? d. How was it done? e. Why are the two
incidents similar? f. Why are the two incidents dissimilar?
Solution
a> seppuku of the Lieutenant took place in the year 1936
and the 47 Ronin incident took place in january 30, 1703.
b>
lieutenant Shinji Takeyama (and we are also told, almost as an afterthought, of the
accompanying suicide of his wife Reiko). took part in the seppuku of the Lieutenant.
c>
the lieutenant has just been informed of a failed mutiny against the Emperor, to whom he is
loyal, that was perpetrated by men to whom he is also loyal. He knows he will be called upon to
suppress the mutiny and fight and kill his erstwhile comrades, an untenable situation.
Fortunately, his culture provides him with a way to deal honorably with untenable
situations—seppuku(the ritual suicide) .
d>
The entire story takes place in Takeyama’s home, and involves the preparations he and his wife
make to end their lives; their rather intense relations leading up to the act, in which everything is
done by the book, as it were.
e>
the night the 47 Ronin carried out their attack on the mansion of Kira Yoshinaka.
according to the “Bushido Code” of the day the actions of the 47 Ronin were not unanimously
viewed as being heroic.
To encapsulate the event. In 1701 two daimyo, Asano and Kamei, were ordered to arrange a
fitting reception for the envoys of the Emperor in Edo, during their bi-annual service to the
Shogun. They were to receive instruction in proper etiquette from a powerful court official
named Kira. According to the legend, Kira expected a bribe/fee from the diamyo of which
Kamei paid and Asano did not. Kira then treated Kamei civilly but continually insulted Asano.
Eventually Asano had enough and drew a blade within Edo castle and wounded Kira. This was a
grave offense and Asano was ordered to commit seppuku and all of his goods and lands were
ordered to be confiscated after his death, his family was to be ruined, and his retainers were to be
made ronin (leaderless).

2. Of Asano’s over three hundred men, forty-seven refused to allow their lord to go unavenged,
even though revenge had been prohibited in the case. They banded together, swearing a secret
oath to avenge their master by killing Kira, even though they knew they would be severely
punished for doing so. Two years latter, the 47 Ronin attacked Kira’s mansion in the early
morning hours during a heavy snow killing Kira and most of his retainers. When they had
finished, the 47 turned themselves in to the authorities. Eventually all were ordered to commit
seppuku.
the lieutenant and his wife too commited seppuku.
So in a way the two events are similar.
