Ethical Dilemmas to know in your career.LokeshMandal2
Moral choices are pivotal moments where individuals navigate between conflicting values or principles, determining their actions based on considerations of integrity, justice, compassion, and the greater good. These decisions shape personal character and contribute to the moral fabric of society.
Business Ethics is a form of Applied Ethics. It originates from individuals, organizational
statements or from the legal system. It can be said to be the attitude, culture and manner of doing
business by the business community. Decision Making: It is our means of deciding a course of action. Without it our actions would be random and aimless.
Leadership: The conscious effort to adopt, integrate, and emulate the other 11 principles to guide decisions and behavior in all aspects of professional and personal life.
Accountability: Holding yourself and others responsible for their actions. Commitment to following ethical practices and ensuring others follow ethics guidelines.
Integrity: Incorporates other principles—honesty, trustworthiness, and reliability. Someone with integrity consistently does the right thing and strives to hold themselves to a higher standard.
Respect for others: To foster ethical behavior and environments in the workplace, respecting others is a critical component. Everyone deserves dignity, privacy, equality, opportunity, compassion, and empathy.
Honesty: Truth in all matters is key to fostering an ethical climate. Partial truths, omissions, and under or overstating don't help a business improve its performance. Bad news should be communicated and received in the same manner as good news so that solutions can be developed.

For far too long, the emphasis on video content marketing has been on production quality; the higher the quality, the more marketing value a video is presumed to have. While quality is certainly an important aspect of video content, producing quality video does not guarantee video content marketing success. Success is very much a function of how well video content and viewing data integrate with the marketing technology stack, and how the sales team leverages the intelligence. In this fifth annual video content marketing report, Demand Metric and Vidyard partnered on research to better understand the use of video for sales and marketing, how performance is being measured, and what impact video is having. This study’s focus is on the use of video in marketing, the maturity indicators such as measuring video content performance, and how video viewing data is integrated with marketing automation platforms (MAP) and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. This report shows what progress, if any, has been made in the fifth year of this study. These study results provide insights and data useful for helping marketers get the highest possible return on their video content investment.

It has been said that “All Marketing is Digital Marketing.” And with good reason! In the last decade (or less), the marketing environment has been transformed.
Marketing has moved from an environment in which traditional marketing, brick and mortar storefronts and Digital Marketing options all competed for the time, attention and resources of the marketing department to one in which Digital Marketing reigns supreme – with an occasional nod in the direction of the storefront, or traditional marketing (direct mail, print advertising, etc.)
One of the biggest challenges of Digital Marketing is the speed of which it has taken over the marketing organization, often in an ad hoc, uncoordinated fashion.
Demand Metric’s research has consistently shown that Digital Marketing has a very significant and positive impact on the organizations that are employing it when they do so by following best practices and processes in a coordinated, holistic approach.
In this Best Practices Report on Digital Marketing we will cover the Digital Marketing landscape in five distinct categories - Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Marketing, Video Marketing and Public Relations

SEO is no longer just about search.
In fact, SEO, which in its early days focused primarily on keywords
(finding, optimizing, ranking), is now a baseline factor of a broader Internet
Marketing strategy across the Enterprise.
This new SEO-driven market segment that has been called Web
Presence Management (WPM) is based on the reality that keywords no
longer drive search results, but rather optimized content does.
As the SEO market matures, quality measures, such as reputation, trust,
content relevance and author authority, are replacing the old quantity
metrics, such as keyword rankings and link volume.
Advanced SEO solutions now weigh campaign performance metrics
(based on brand building, site traffic and conversion) more heavily than
keyword rankings.
This reality is based on changes in the way customers search, the
increasingly integrated omni-channel marketing environment and,
most notably, changes to Google’s Search Engine Results Page (SERP)
algorithms that favor page content freshness, density and content-rich
media over standard keyword search.
All of this means that Modern Marketing Organizations (MMOs) must
re-evaluate their SEO strategies, processes and campaigns.
In this report we will examine the state of the market, share results from the
SEO Benchmark Study, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of 15 top
SEO solutions in our vendor landscape to help organizations choose the
best solution for them, highlight the current trends in SEO that will have an
impact on Enterprise SEO initiatives and provide some recommendations
for the way forward as SEO is redefined right before our eyes.
Demand Metric defines Search Engine Optimization Platforms
as those frameworks, tools and technologies that use searchrelated
functionally to secure high visibility and web presence
for brands, products, services and companies through the use
and management of elements, such as keywords, links, content
relevance and social signals tracking.
In its fourth year, this report on video marketing metrics highlights best practices including video hosting to how video viewing integrates with the sales funnel.

Entering the European Market Successfully How-To GuideDemand Metric
Executive Summary
Leaving your domestic comfort zone to operate in another country or even continent requires careful planning. Expanding into new geographical markets is very exciting, but also very nerve-wracking. Any firm considering entering into international business transactions must understand that doing business abroad is not a simple task. It is stimulating and potentially profitable in the long-term but requires much preparation and research prior to the first transaction.
Europe is probably the most heterogeneous continent on our globe, making understanding market potential more challenging than in more homogeneous markets. Because of the European Union, it’s tempting to view Europe as a single market. In reality, you must consider each country as a market, because each country has a different mix of history, culture, language and business etiquette.
This How-To Guide will describe the steps required to successfully expand into the European market.

Driving SEO with Press Releases How-To GuideDemand Metric
This How To Guide will explain how press releases can boost SEO efforts, how to write press releases for SEO, the pros and cons of doing so and conclude with an action plan on using press releases in your SEO efforts.
For decades, press releases were the basic building blocks of a public relations strategy. A company that wanted press coverage would write and issue a press release. The more skilled the company was at media relations, the better this strategy worked. Press releases still serve this purpose, although a new and important use of press releases has evolved as a tool for Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
For companies whose websites are key to revenue generation, the SEO benefits are the primary motivation for writing and issuing press releases. If releases also produce favorable media coverage, that’s viewed as a bonus. The benefits of this SEO strategy result from the links a press release can produce back to the issuer’s website. These links are known as backlinks. The more external, authentic backlinks a website has pointing to it, the higher it ranks on a Search Engine Results Page (SERP). While this strategy is conceptually simple to grasp, executing it effectively requires some insider knowledge of both media relations and SEO.

Calculating Customer Lifetime Value How-To GuideDemand Metric
Executive Summary
This How-To Guide details the definition of customer lifetime value (CLV), the advantages of calculating CLV and the standard formula for calculating CLV.
Common sense tells us that the longer a customer is in relationship with a company, the more profitable that customer relationship is. However, many companies put the emphasis on new customer acquisition and not enough effort is made to retain existing customers. This is a mistake, because the financial impact of retaining customers is substantial: companies can increase profits by as much as 100% by retaining just 5% more of their customers. For these reasons, CLV is a crucial metric that most organizations overlook mainly because its definition and purpose are not entirely known. Understanding the monetary value each customer represents to your organization can help you budget correctly for your business needs, strategically plan your marketing initiatives and improve long-term relationships with your customer base.

Lead Scoring: Five Steps to Getting Started How-To GuideDemand Metric
Executive Summary
This How-To Guide will help marketers score leads by showing how to set up a simple lead scoring system and then refine it over time.
Lead scoring applies mathematical formulas to rank potential customers. It is chiefly used to identify prospects that are ready for direct sales contact. Because the calculations are automatic, the scores are consistent, current, and can include more variables than any manual assessment. This saves marketers work, ensures that all qualified leads are sent to sales promptly, and keeps non-qualified leads out of the sales system.

Executive Summary
This How-To Guide will explain the components of a Marketing Resource Management (MRM) system, provide an action plan for deployment, and conclude with a plan for implementation.
Marketing Resource Management (MRM) systems control the administrative processes that support customer-facing marketing programs. This distinguishes MRM from marketing execution systems that store customer databases and deliver marketing messages through email, Web ads, and other channels. MRM may be sold independently or as a component of comprehensive marketing management systems which also provides execution.
MRM functions fall into two primary clusters. The first involves functions related to company-level marketing management, including program planning, scheduling, budgeting, and cost reporting. The other cluster relates to program management, including task lists, purchasing media and materials, and content creation, approvals, storage, and distribution. Some MRM systems specialize in a few of these functions. Others specialize in additional functions such as customizing content for local offices or dealers or in marketing reporting and analysis. Systems may also be tailored to specific industries or companies of a certain size.
Companies buy MRM systems when their marketing programs become too complicated to run in a less systematic fashion. This, along with the systems’ high cost, originally meant that MRM was used almost exclusively by large marketing organizations with hundreds of marketers in multiple offices. More recently, the growth of digital marketing has meant that even small marketing organizations need to manage many different programs and content versions across multiple channels, and to introduce new versions more quickly. This expanded complexity has rarely been accompanied by a corresponding expansion of staff, adding to the pressure for more efficient operations. At the same time, costs have decreased as MRM capabilities were added to integrated marketing suites and as stand-alone MRM products became available as vendor-hosted services (Software as a Service, or SaaS). The result has been increased use of MRM systems among companies of all sizes.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

Code of Conduct Policy
1. Code of Conduct Policy
Purpose
Use this tool as a framework to create a Code of Conduct Policy. This policy should be
prefaced with a letter from the CEO.
Statement of Core Beliefs
XYZ Company is committed to promoting integrity and maintaining the highest standard of
ethical conduct in all of our activities. We are dedicated to the following principals:
• Honesty
• Confidentiality
• Customer Service
• Responsibility
• Compassion
• Fairness
• Respect
Delegation of Authority
Only employees who are specifically authorized by the Company's Board of Directors or
Bylaws may commit the company to others. A "commitment" includes the execution of any
written agreement, the making of any oral agreement, or any other undertaking that obligates
or binds the company in any respect, whether or not it involves the payment of money.
Employees must never execute a document or otherwise commit the company unless they
have clear authority to do so. They should check with their supervisor to determine what
authority limits have been delegated to them. Failure to follow this policy may subject the
employee to disciplinary action.
2. Responsibilities to Stakeholders
Confidential Information
XYZ Company believes its confidential proprietary information is an important asset in the
operation of its business and prohibits the unauthorized use or disclosure of this information.
XYZ Company also requires its employees to fully comply with the regulations governing the
disclosure of proprietary information.
To protect confidential information, it is company policy that:
• Confidential information within the company is on a need-to-know basis
• Confidential information must be marked appropriately
• Confidential information of the company should be disclosed when:
o It is required by law
o It is done in accordance with the company's disclosure guidelines and is
necessary to further the company's business activities.
Competitive Information
Illegal practices of obtaining competitive information are absolutely prohibited. This includes,
but is not limited to:
• Corporate espionage
• Seeking confidential information in a manner that violates a contractual obligation or
commitment.
• Any form of questionable intelligence gathering
Conflicts of Interest
XYZ Company employees should not have any financial or other business relationships with
suppliers, customers or competitors that might impair, or even appear to impair, the
3. independence of any judgment they may need to make on behalf of the company. Unless
otherwise stated, employees are not allowed to perform services, have a financial or material
interest in a private company that is, or may become, a supplier, customer, or competitor of
the company. Employees have an obligation to disclose to their supervisors any situation that
presents the possibility of a conflict of interest between the employee and the company.
Customers, Suppliers and Competitor Relations
It is company policy to treat customers, business allies and suppliers fairly and not engage in
anticompetitive practices that unlawfully restrict the free market economy.
Bribes and Gifts
No payment in any form shall be made directly or indirectly to anyone for the purpose of
obtaining or retaining business, or to obtain any other favorable action. A violation of this
policy may subject the employee to disciplinary action as well as potential criminal
prosecution.
Entertainment
Appropriate business entertainment in connection with business discussions or the
development of business relationships is generally deemed appropriate in the conduct of
official business. This may include business-related meals and trips, refreshments before or
after a business meeting, and occasional athletic, theatrical or cultural events. This applies
equally to giving or receiving entertainment.
Government Representatives
What is acceptable practice in the commercial business environment may be against the law
or the policies of federal, state or local governments. Therefore, no gifts or business
entertainment of any kind may be given to any government employee without the prior
approval of the company's legal counsel, except for items of nominal value (less than $50).
Agreements with Competitors
Formal or informal agreements with competitors that seek to limit or restrict competition in
some way are often illegal. Unlawful agreements include those which seek to fix or control
4. prices; allocate products, markets or territories; or boycott certain customers or suppliers. To
ensure compliance with antitrust law, discussions with competitors regarding any of these
potential agreements is a violation of company policy and may subject the employee to
disciplinary action as well as the potential for criminal prosecution.
Employee Relations
It is the company policy that all employees and supervisors, should strive to meet the
following objectives:
• Respect each employee, worker and representative of customers, suppliers and
contractors as an individual, showing courtesy and consideration and fostering
personal dignity;
• Make a commitment to and demonstrate equal treatment of all employees, workers,
customers, suppliers and contractors without regard to race, color, gender, religion,
age, national origin, citizenship status, veteran status, sexual orientation or
disability;
• Provide employment opportunities to qualified individuals with disabilities and
veterans;
• Encourage employees to voice their opinions freely about the policies and
practices of the company by communicating and practicing an open door policy;
• Provide a workplace free of harassment on the basis of race, color, gender,
religion, age, national origin, citizenship status, veteran status, sexual orientation or
disability;
• Keep employees generally informed of the policies, plans and progress of the
company through regular communications;

company, for training to become better skilled in their jobs;
• Encourage promotion from within, consistent with the needs of the company,
whenever qualified employees are available;
• Provide and maintain a safe, healthy and orderly workplace; and
• Assure uniformly fair compensation and benefit practices that will attract, reward
and retain quality employees.
5. Equal Employment Opportunity
It is the policy of XYZ Company to ensure equal treatment for all employees and applicants,
regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, or
mental/physical capacity. This policy applies to all company activities, including, but not
limited to, recruiting, hiring, training, transfers, promotions and benefits.
Non- Harassment and Sexual Harassment

unlawful and is prohibited whether it occurs in the workplace, at customer or vendor sites, or
at other employment related events or activities. Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

Directors for prompt investigation. The company will act promptly and vigorously to take
corrective action and appropriate discipline with respect to any harassment or retaliation, up
to and including termination of offending individuals.
Environmental Compliance
XYZ Company is committed to conducting its business in compliance with all applicable
environmental and workplace laws and regulations in a manner that has the highest regard
for the safety and well being of its employees and the general public.
6. Recording Transactions

reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets
of the company. Each employee shall maintain accurate and fair records of transactions, time
reports, expense accounts, and other company records. The company shall devise and
maintain a system of internal controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that
transactions are properly authorized, executed, and recorded. No entries will be made that
intentionally conceal or disguise the true nature of any company transaction.
Whistleblowers
If an employee believes that the company's books and records are not being maintained in
accordance with these requirements, the employee should report the matter directly to their
supervisor or to the company's Chief Financial Officer.
When an employee is faced with a tough ethical decision or whenever they have any doubts
as to the right thing to do, they should talk to someone else such as their supervisor, another
manager, or the Chief Executive Officer.
XYZ Company will not permit any form of retribution against any person, who, in good faith,
reports known or suspected violations of company policy.
Use of Company Assets
XYZ Company's assets are to be used only for the legitimate business purposes of the
company and its subsidiaries and only by authorized employees or their designees. This
includes both tangible and intangible assets.
XYZ Company's electronic mail (e-mail) system should be restricted primarily to company
