Case Study 14.1 Zappos’ Organizational Culture Neck et al. Chap.docxmoggdede
Case Study 14.1: Zappos’ Organizational Culture Neck et al. Chapter 14
ntroduction
What is important to you? How do your values reflect (or fail to reflect) your organization? Companies with a positive organizational culture focus on building on employee strengths, increasing morale, and providing rewards for good work. Employees in a communal culture tend to think alike, are happy to share knowledge, and have a clear focus on the direction of the task. Organizations with a fragmented culture have employees who tend to keep to themselves, avoid socializing and work as individuals rather than part of a team. As the name suggests, mercenary cultures exist in organizations where making money is the top priority. Employees measured by their levels of performance and productivity and expected to have a high commitment toward achieving organizational goals. In networked cultures, a high degree of trust between employees and a willingness to communicate and share information exits. In an ethical culture, managers need to be role models themselves, communicate ethical standards, and train employees to behave ethically. Organizations with a spiritual culture focus on the opportunities for employees to grow in the workplace by conducting meaningful tasks that contribute to the good of society as a whole.

Coaching
Coaching
and mentoring share many similarities. According to the International Institute of Coaching (2012) coaching is a form of personal development where the client and coach form an alliance that promotes and sustains the client’s personal growth. Coaching is an interactive, results oriented process that brings about change. Mentoring on the other hand is the process of giving another person help and advice.
According to Psychology Today, overstressed managers are increasingly turning to coaches to avoid burnout and to maximize their chances of success.
Mentoring
Relationship building is another way of transmitting organizational culture. Mentoring at its best describes a reciprocal relationship between two or more individuals (Zachary, 2005). Mentoring allows information to be transmitted, helps with future career growth, and assists organizations in retaining productive employees. In many businesses employees are encouraged to form relationships with mentors. These relationships tend to instill a sense of membership in the company. However, the mentor/protégée relationship is not indefini.

Rev. 8.18
GUIDELINES FOR ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENT
Using Collins’ work as a model and framework for advanced organizational analysis (and other
references as needed), analyze a system, organization, organization systems and/or subsystems.
Consider each of the concepts proposed by Collins’ breaking down the organizations’ strategic plan,
financial management, organizational structure, leadership, organizational culture, performance
outcomes, etc. Collins’ work is a good foundational text, along with Fifth Discipline (Senge, 1990)
and other related writers and models.
When analyzing an organizational system, along with Collins’ work, consider chaos theory and
complexity science (Wheatley, Porter-O-Grady), learning organizations (Senge), change and
innovation (Gladwell, Rogers, Quinn). If you have not found these references in the required or
recommended course readings, google the names of these authors and learn more about their
contributions to understanding organizational behavior and leading complex systems. Such
references may be useful in arriving at a greater level of understanding of organizations necessary to
truly transform our current health care systems. As part of this analysis, consider interviewing
members of the staff, board members, organizational historians, key administrative personnel (CFO,
CEO, CNE, etc.). If you are not familiar with the organization/system, it will be essential that you
talk to members of the organization who can help you develop a rich understanding of the
leadership, culture, and decision-making patterns. Consider what is written about the organization
and its system in the local paper, regional documents, trade journals, etc. These qualitative methods,
along with review of clinical, financial and other evaluation measures (quantitative measures), will
provide a more holistic perspective of an organizational systems’ performance.
The paper should be carefully written in a formal style, based on primary sources, provide an
integration of ideas, and be 5-6 pages in length, excluding title page & reference list. Organized
flow, logical progression of ideas, and clarity in thought are essential. Please use headings to
separate content. References must be timely; published within the previous five (5) years. Liberal
number of primary and peer reviewed references (minimum of 10).
Deductions:
Papers over the page limit will be penalized by a disregard of content over the page limit.
Scholarship Expectations:
A lack of Scholarship deduction of up to 20% of the total point value of the assignment will be
applied to address such deficiencies as APA errors, Title or Reference page errors, a lack of
clarity and conciseness in writing, grammatical and spelling errors, exceeding the prescribed
page limit, and poor overall writing skills. For example, an assignment worth 15 points could
have a maximum lack of scholarship deduction of 3 points (20% x 15). The amount of.

Ethics
Assessment 1 (Normative Theories)
While working in the business office of a primary care medical facility, you come across records showing that one of your daughter's grade-school teachers has been prescribed antipsychotic medication for the control of schizophrenia. Although you have been told to respect patient confidentiality in the workplace, you fear the potential harm such a person could cause in a position of authority over children. Develop your position on this ethical issue. What would you do?
Write a paper addressing this topic, supporting your position with credible research.
In explaining your position, address each of the following questions:
· What features of the situation are relevant for making a moral decision?
· What would a deontologist like Immanuel Kant recommend?
· What would a consequentialist like John Stuart Mill recommend?
· How do you justify your own decision about what to do?Additional Requirements
· Written communication:Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
· APA formatting: Include a title page and a references page, formatted according to APA (6thedition) style and formatting.
· References:A typical paper will include support from a minimum of 3–5 references. You should also include support from your independent research of scholarly or professional materials.
· Length: A typical paper will be 4 typed, double-spaced pages in length.
· Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point.
Assignment 2 (Making a Moral Decision)
For this assessment, you will invent a practical circumstance of your own choosing that illuminates differences among the three approaches to normative theory; a circumstance in which the duties, consequences, and virtues do not align with each other. It does not need to be a grand, controversial social issue; an everyday moral dilemma will make the conflict clearer. Just look for an example where doing your duty might cause lasting harm, or where caring about people requires breaking the rules.
Write a paper addressing this topic, supporting your statements with credible research on the three approaches to normative theory. You are also expected to conduct your own independent research into the scholarly and professional resources of the field.
Begin by describing a concrete situation that calls for someone to make an ethical decision about what to do. Choosing your example carefully will make it easier to draw an interesting contrast between the theoretical applications. Be sure to describe the situation with enough detail to provide adequate information for arriving at a responsible choice. You are welcome to choose a case in which you are personally involved, but you may find it easier to think objectively with a little detachment.

Ethics
Assessment 1 (Normative Theories)
While working in the business office of a primary care medical facility, you come across records showing that one of your daughter's grade-school teachers has been prescribed antipsychotic medication for the control of schizophrenia. Although you have been told to respect patient confidentiality in the workplace, you fear the potential harm such a person could cause in a position of authority over children. Develop your position on this ethical issue. What would you do?
Write a paper addressing this topic, supporting your position with credible research.
In explaining your position, address each of the following questions:
· What features of the situation are relevant for making a moral decision?
· What would a deontologist like Immanuel Kant recommend?
· What would a consequentialist like John Stuart Mill recommend?
· How do you justify your own decision about what to do?Additional Requirements
· Written communication:Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
· APA formatting: Include a title page and a references page, formatted according to APA (6thedition) style and formatting.
· References:A typical paper will include support from a minimum of 3–5 references. You should also include support from your independent research of scholarly or professional materials.
· Length: A typical paper will be 4 typed, double-spaced pages in length.
· Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point.
Assignment 2 (Making a Moral Decision)
For this assessment, you will invent a practical circumstance of your own choosing that illuminates differences among the three approaches to normative theory; a circumstance in which the duties, consequences, and virtues do not align with each other. It does not need to be a grand, controversial social issue; an everyday moral dilemma will make the conflict clearer. Just look for an example where doing your duty might cause lasting harm, or where caring about people requires breaking the rules.
Write a paper addressing this topic, supporting your statements with credible research on the three approaches to normative theory. You are also expected to conduct your own independent research into the scholarly and professional resources of the field.
Begin by describing a concrete situation that calls for someone to make an ethical decision about what to do. Choosing your example carefully will make it easier to draw an interesting contrast between the theoretical applications. Be sure to describe the situation with enough detail to provide adequate information for arriving at a responsible choice. You are welcome to choose a case in which you are personally involved, but you may find it easier to think objectively with a little detachment.

Ethics and Diversity are two of the four Capstone Learning Outcomes,.docxAlleneMcclendon878
Ethics and Diversity are two of the four Capstone Learning Outcomes, and collaboration is one of the SLA competencies associated with the course outcome of Communication. You will collaborate with your classmates throughout this course by providing feedback and suggestions for improvement on several course assignments, as well as participating in group problem-solving. Like all the pre-assessments, this activity allows you to demonstrate your current strengths and identify areas you’ll need to improve to successfully complete the Capstone. Specifically in this group exercise you will consider the relationship between academic honesty and workplace honesty. We hope you will find this an accessible topic. It’s essential you demonstrate your best work, as we will use the results to determine individual remediation needs and your own readiness for the Capstone.
In its most simple meaning,
ethics
is a system of moral principles. The study of ethics is a branch of philosophy examining standards of right and wrong. For a quick overview of major ethical theories, review the
Ethics Resources

It’s also important that you pause to consider your personal experience

Achieving group consensus through collaborative communication is a skill employers increasingly find valuable. Learning with others is a synergistic process.
Laal
and
Laal
(2012) emphasize the potential value of collaboration as a learning tool, provided that individuals accept responsibility for their own actions and acknowledge the value of others’ contributions to a final product. The process of collaboration can help develop an individual’s critical thinking, problem solving, and communication
skills—skills
employers tend to place on their “most desired” list for prospective employees.
Directions for the Collaborative Activity
Issues related to academic honesty and integrity are increasingly prevalent in higher education. When presented with the evidence of their academic dishonesty, some react defensively and claim they’re being falsely accused, while others allege discriminatory practices and blame anyone and everything except themselves for the situation. You’re probably most aware of plagiarism as an academic honesty violation. Here is a different type of problem.
Smart Strategy or Slippery Slope

The student decides to outsource capstone assignments, sends weekly materials to a ghostwriter saying "follow the instructions, don't plagiarize, and don't miss the deadlines." She submits the assignments and gets good grades, until the ghostwriting arrangement is discovered. When confronted, the stud.

1. Case 3-4 Franklin Industries’ Whistleblowing (a GVV Case)Natali.docxmonicafrancis71118
1. Case 3-4 Franklin Industries’ Whistleblowing (a GVV Case)
Natalie got the call she had been waiting for over six long months. Her complaint to the human resources department of Franklin Industries had been dismissed. It was HR’s conclusion that she was not retaliated against for reporting an alleged embezzlement by the Accounting Department manager. In fact, HR ruled there was no embezzlement at all. Natalie had been demoted from assistant manager of the department to staff supervisor seven months ago after informing Stuart Masters, the controller, earlier in 2015, about the embezzlement. Her blood started to boil as she thought about all the pain and agony she’d experienced these past six months without any level of satisfaction for her troubles.
Natalie Garson is a CPA who works for Franklin Industries, a publicly owned company and manufacturer of trusses and other structural components for home builders throughout the United States. Six months ago she filed a complaint with HR after discussing a sensitive matter with her best friend and coworker, Roger Harris. Natalie trusted Harris, who had six years of experience at Franklin. The essence of the discussion was that Natalie was informed by the accounting staff of what appeared to be unusual transactions between Denny King, the department manager, and an outside company no one had never heard of before. The staff had uncovered over $5 million in payments, authorized by King, to Vic Construction. No one could find any documentation about Vic, so the staff dug deeper and discovered that the owner of Vic Construction was Victoria King. Further examination determined that Victoria King and Denny King were siblings.
Once Natalie was convinced there was more to the situation than meets the eye, she informed the internal auditors, who investigated and found that Vic Construction made a $5 million electronic transfer to a separate business owned by Denny King. One thing lead to another, and it was determined by the internal auditors that King had funneled $5 million to Vic Construction, which, at a later date, transferred the money back to King. It was a $5 million embezzlement from Franklin Industries.
Natalie met with Roger Harris that night and told him about the HR decision that went against her. She was concerned whether the internal auditors would act now in light of that decision She knew the culture at Franklin was “don’t rock the boat.” That didn’t matter to her. She was always true to her values and not afraid to act when a wrongdoing had occurred. She felt particularly motivated in this case—it was personal. She felt the need to be vindicated. She hoped Roger would be supportive.
As it turned out, Roger cautioned Natalie about taking the matter any further. He had worked for Franklin a lot longer than Natalie and knew the board of directors consisted mostly of insider directors. The CEO of Franklin was also the chair of Page 181the board. It was well known in the company that whatev.

3. During the past week (or since your last entry), what has been the major economic or
business news relating to
India? http://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/economy-suffers-as-firms-tackle-
debt/article19677814.ece
In India this year, there are a fair amount of firms and businesses that are having issues paying off
interest on their loans. On top of this, fewer loans are happening and the state’s GDP growth rate has
lowered this year. The article lists several factors, one of which is pretty simple; interest rates are high
at the moment. This article on business interested me because this is an issue that is relatable to every
modernized country on Earth, how to pay off debt when you aren’t making enough this year to cover
costs? You can’t, so the unpaid portions add up. I didn’t feel like there was a strong bias in this article,
but I’m also not accustomed to the Indian financial market or its businesses. How is this story relevant
to my understanding of India? It lets me take an inside look at the current economy and how they might
be fairing in comparison. It also shows that business and banking policies are not that different on some
levels.
4. During the past week (or since your last entry), what has been the major political
news in India? http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/patronising-congress-
again-a-historic-necessity/article19679153.ece
First, why do I consider this major political news in India? The discussions and accusations being talked
about in the article are serious and can definitely effect votes for the mentioned political parties, which
in turn can change or add new laws, regulations, taxes, and etc. The title seemed incredibly familiar to
what we always see in American newspapers about our politics. I felt that the author, or maybe the
newspaper, might actually lean more towards the BJP and TDP’s opposing forces. Other than that, there
were tons of biased quotes from both parties. So, why do I think this topic is relevant to my
understanding of India? Simply put, just as with business and banking, there is this kind of familiarity in
a way. This article lets me get an inside view on the current parties and the accusations being made,
showing me that politics is a somewhat universal language, one part attack ads, one part confusion, and
one part progress.

it feels more informative. Why is thi.

Ethics and Diversity are two of the four Capstone Learning Outcomes,.docxAlleneMcclendon878
Ethics and Diversity are two of the four Capstone Learning Outcomes, and collaboration is one of the SLA competencies associated with the course outcome of Communication. You will collaborate with your classmates throughout this course by providing feedback and suggestions for improvement on several course assignments, as well as participating in group problem-solving. Like all the pre-assessments, this activity allows you to demonstrate your current strengths and identify areas you’ll need to improve to successfully complete the Capstone. Specifically in this group exercise you will consider the relationship between academic honesty and workplace honesty. We hope you will find this an accessible topic. It’s essential you demonstrate your best work, as we will use the results to determine individual remediation needs and your own readiness for the Capstone.
In its most simple meaning,
ethics
is a system of moral principles. The study of ethics is a branch of philosophy examining standards of right and wrong. For a quick overview of major ethical theories, review the

Achieving group consensus through collaborative communication is a skill employers increasingly find valuable. Learning with others is a synergistic process.
Laal
and
Laal
(2012) emphasize the potential value of collaboration as a learning tool, provided that individuals accept responsibility for their own actions and acknowledge the value of others’ contributions to a final product. The process of collaboration can help develop an individual’s critical thinking, problem solving, and communication
skills—skills
employers tend to place on their “most desired” list for prospective employees.
Directions for the Collaborative Activity
Issues related to academic honesty and integrity are increasingly prevalent in higher education. When presented with the evidence of their academic dishonesty, some react defensively and claim they’re being falsely accused, while others allege discriminatory practices and blame anyone and everything except themselves for the situation. You’re probably most aware of plagiarism as an academic honesty violation. Here is a different type of problem.
Smart Strategy or Slippery Slope
A student
thinks the degree "is just a piece of paper" needed to get a better job. The student decides to outsource capstone assignments, sends weekly materials to a ghostwriter saying "follow the instructions, don't plagiarize, and don't miss the deadlines." She submits the assignments and gets good grades, until the ghostwriting arrangement is discovered. When confronted, the stud.

1. Case 3-4 Franklin Industries’ Whistleblowing (a GVV Case)Natali.docxmonicafrancis71118
1. Case 3-4 Franklin Industries’ Whistleblowing (a GVV Case)
Natalie got the call she had been waiting for over six long months. Her complaint to the human resources department of Franklin Industries had been dismissed. It was HR’s conclusion that she was not retaliated against for reporting an alleged embezzlement by the Accounting Department manager. In fact, HR ruled there was no embezzlement at all. Natalie had been demoted from assistant manager of the department to staff supervisor seven months ago after informing Stuart Masters, the controller, earlier in 2015, about the embezzlement. Her blood started to boil as she thought about all the pain and agony she’d experienced these past six months without any level of satisfaction for her troubles.
Natalie Garson is a CPA who works for Franklin Industries, a publicly owned company and manufacturer of trusses and other structural components for home builders throughout the United States. Six months ago she filed a complaint with HR after discussing a sensitive matter with her best friend and coworker, Roger Harris. Natalie trusted Harris, who had six years of experience at Franklin. The essence of the discussion was that Natalie was informed by the accounting staff of what appeared to be unusual transactions between Denny King, the department manager, and an outside company no one had never heard of before. The staff had uncovered over $5 million in payments, authorized by King, to Vic Construction. No one could find any documentation about Vic, so the staff dug deeper and discovered that the owner of Vic Construction was Victoria King. Further examination determined that Victoria King and Denny King were siblings.
Once Natalie was convinced there was more to the situation than meets the eye, she informed the internal auditors, who investigated and found that Vic Construction made a $5 million electronic transfer to a separate business owned by Denny King. One thing lead to another, and it was determined by the internal auditors that King had funneled $5 million to Vic Construction, which, at a later date, transferred the money back to King. It was a $5 million embezzlement from Franklin Industries.
Natalie met with Roger Harris that night and told him about the HR decision that went against her. She was concerned whether the internal auditors would act now in light of that decision She knew the culture at Franklin was “don’t rock the boat.” That didn’t matter to her. She was always true to her values and not afraid to act when a wrongdoing had occurred. She felt particularly motivated in this case—it was personal. She felt the need to be vindicated. She hoped Roger would be supportive.
As it turned out, Roger cautioned Natalie about taking the matter any further. He had worked for Franklin a lot longer than Natalie and knew the board of directors consisted mostly of insider directors. The CEO of Franklin was also the chair of Page 181the board. It was well known in the company that whatev.

3. During the past week (or since your last entry), what has been the major economic or
business news relating to
India? http://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/economy-suffers-as-firms-tackle-
debt/article19677814.ece
In India this year, there are a fair amount of firms and businesses that are having issues paying off
interest on their loans. On top of this, fewer loans are happening and the state’s GDP growth rate has
lowered this year. The article lists several factors, one of which is pretty simple; interest rates are high
at the moment. This article on business interested me because this is an issue that is relatable to every
modernized country on Earth, how to pay off debt when you aren’t making enough this year to cover
costs? You can’t, so the unpaid portions add up. I didn’t feel like there was a strong bias in this article,
but I’m also not accustomed to the Indian financial market or its businesses. How is this story relevant
to my understanding of India? It lets me take an inside look at the current economy and how they might
be fairing in comparison. It also shows that business and banking policies are not that different on some
levels.
4. During the past week (or since your last entry), what has been the major political
news in India? http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/patronising-congress-
again-a-historic-necessity/article19679153.ece
First, why do I consider this major political news in India? The discussions and accusations being talked
about in the article are serious and can definitely effect votes for the mentioned political parties, which
in turn can change or add new laws, regulations, taxes, and etc. The title seemed incredibly familiar to
what we always see in American newspapers about our politics. I felt that the author, or maybe the
newspaper, might actually lean more towards the BJP and TDP’s opposing forces. Other than that, there
were tons of biased quotes from both parties. So, why do I think this topic is relevant to my
understanding of India? Simply put, just as with business and banking, there is this kind of familiarity in
a way. This article lets me get an inside view on the current parties and the accusations being made,
showing me that politics is a somewhat universal language, one part attack ads, one part confusion, and
one part progress.

1. Compare and contrast Strategic and Tactical Analysis and its .docxmonicafrancis71118
1. Compare and contrast Strategic and Tactical Analysis and its application to street crimes such as robbery and property crimes such as burglary. In your opinion is one more suited in addressing criminal behavior?
Strategic analysis involves the analysis over the long-term, whereas tactical analysis involves analysis in a more direct manner. Each has analysis scheme has their uses in addressing criminal behavior. To use an example with drug activity strategic analysis would be better suited to understanding who could be the future customers of drug dealers, where are possible locations that could facilitate such deals, and helping law-enforcement and community leaders come up with measures to combat drug sales. However, the tactical analysis would focus more on finding out where the current supply of drugs is coming in from, who the leader(s) is(are), and cracking down on local dealers. While there is overlap between the two, I believe that tactical analysis is the best when addressing criminal behavior, because of the more immediate results that it provides.
2. What is CPTED? Please elaborate on how CPTED may be an effective means to reduce a criminals Modus operandi? Provide an example.
CPTED is an acronym that stands for crime prevention through environmental design which is “The proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life” (Cozens, Saville, & Hillier, 2005). This means that CPTED is all of the passive defenses that the environment provides law-abiding citizens against criminally minded individuals. These defenses can be broken down into six different aspects that work together to create CPTED they are: territoriality, surveillance, access control, target hardening, image/maintenance, and active support (Cozens, Saville, & Hillier, 2005). All of these aspects work together to decrease crime in the area.

1. Coalition ProposalVaccination Policy for Infectious Disease P.docxmonicafrancis71118
1. Coalition Proposal
Vaccination Policy for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control
Scope of the Problem
Vaccines have done an excellent job at preventing many diseases, some of which can be deadly if not prevented. When bacteria or viruses enter the body, they immediately begin to attack and multiply, which then causes an infection. The immune system will then fight off the infection and establish antibodies, which will help recognize and fight off the same disease in the future. For this very reason, it has been important for children to be vaccinated at an early age so that they may establish those antibodies their bodies need. Vaccines act as the disease so that the body may produce antibodies, but the good thing is that it won’t cause an infection (CDC, 2017).
There are current policies that mandate vaccinations in the U.S., for example, all children are required to be up to date on their vaccines before beginning school. The problem is that there are many loopholes and exceptions to the rule, whether it’s due to religious reasons or other medical issues. Because of this, there are still many children and adults who have yet to be fully compliant with vaccine requirements
Some important statistics to note (Johns Hopkins Medicine):
· CDC estimated 2,700 new cases of hepatitis A in the U.S.
· It is estimated that in 2011, 19,000 new cases of hepatitis B and 17,000 cases of hepatitis C occurred.
· In 2012, nearly 10,000 new cases of tuberculosis were reported.
· Approximately 36,000 people per year die from influenza and pneumonia.
· 50,000 new cases of HIV infection occur annually.
· In 2012, new cases of STD’s were reported, including HPV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, and Syphilis.
Who is affected by this problem? Identify.
Children are mainly affected by this problem due to parents’ hesitancy for vaccinations. Although law mandates for children to be vaccinated for school enrollment, parents have the option to use exemptions to avoid having their children vaccinated. Currently, medical exemptions are allowed for medical reasons in all states, and it is estimated that one to three percent of children are excused from vaccinations because of these exemptions. Parents have continued to use reasons to avoid vaccinations, for example, the belief that the decline in vaccine-preventable diseases is due to improved health care, hygiene, and sanitation (Ventola, C. L., 2016).
Health disparities among Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites have played a huge role in terms of vaccination coverage. Studies have shown that health insurance has a direct impact on the vaccination coverage in adults, therefore, low-income families who can’t afford health insurance will most likely not get the vaccines they need. With that being said, uninsured prevalence was higher among non-Hispanic blacks (19.5%) and Hispanics (30.1%) compared with non-Hispanic whites (11.1%) (Lu, P., et al, 2015).

1. Company Description and Background
a. Weight Watchers was created by Jean Nindetch in 1963 when she began to invite her friends and neighbors so that they can discuss their weight loss issues and how they could lose weight successfully.

e. December 2015, WW launched a SmartPoints system which was a scale for food management. It was introduced to work along with a new weight management program called “Beyond the Scale.” Even thought doctors and nutrition’s approved the program, then-CEO David Kirchhoff felt it wasn’t enough because the programs didn’t take into account social, environmental and behavioral factors that led members to fail at their weight loss journey. Shortly after in August 2013, CEO Kirchhoff resigned in order to “pursue other opportunities” which left WW struggling to adjust their business strategy in the Internet Age.
2. Problems Posed In The Case
a. CEO Jim Chambers resigned in September 2016 afterward a tumultuous year with stock prices dropping 54% that year alone and seven straight quarters of declining sales.
b. Next generation diet programs and online apps like MyFitnessPal and FitBit were providing the same services for free of charge. CEO Chambers admitted that “consumers have changed and that WW hadn’t kept the pace.”
c. As obesity levels increased worldwide, the market for weight loss products was growing exponentially, however, WW had to increase customer value and seek new target segments to fend off competitors from traditional rivalry’s like Nutrisystem, Slim Fast, Medifast, Jenny Craig and the Biggest Loser.
d. Emergence of fad diets
e. Decreased effectiveness of marketing and advertising programs
f. The need for developing new and innovative products and services that could be delivered online or via mobile apps
g. WW International faced stock price volatility because of rival weight management options such as the over-the-counter weight-loss drug Alli launched by GlaxoSmithKline in June 2006 and the development of Allergan’s Lap-Band device.
h. Worldwide Health Organization estimated 2.3 billion people to be overweight by 2015 and more than 700 million obese.
i. The development of effective weight-management methods i.e. pharmaceuticals, surgical options such as the Lap-Band.

1. Choose a case for the paper that interests you. Most choose a case that they experienced on the job (e.g., company merger, reorganization, adoption of innovation or new procedure). If you have never experienced anything remotely like this, then you could choose a case in your community that interested you (e.g., political issues like taxes, land acquisition, school boards). If none of those apply then you can choose a case that is personal to you (e.g., getting a raise, selling something to a client or customer). If you have never worked, then choose a case you may experienced as an intern or student. I am pretty liberal about the kind of case that you choose.
2. Choose a case that involved a failed change attempt or proposes a change that has never been attempted. DO NOT CHOOSE A CASE THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL. The outline is hard to use when describing successful change attempts.
3. Write the paper as an expanded outline. That means writing paragraphs under the lower level headings. By using the outline as headings, you won’t leave something out.
4. With regard to length, some overwrite Section I. I think they get into describing the problem and go on a tirade. Although cathartic, it eats space. Section II should be relatively brief and the shortest of the three sections. Section III is where you should be writing a lot. That is where you are showing me that you can use the course content to propose an effective change.
5. Remember that you will be sending the paper to me as an attachment. I will grade it and make comments in the file. I will return it to you at the SAME address from which I received it. IF FOR SOME REASON, YOU DON’T WANT ANYONE TO SEE THE PAPER, USE YOUR STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS. DO NOT USE YOUR WORK ADDRESS.
6. I will erase all papers at the end of the term. I never share papers with others.
Below I will give you some insights into the outline.
SUGGESTED OUTLINE FOR CHANGE MANAGEMENT PAPERS

Ethical Dimensions of External Organizational Communication
External organizational communication powerfully expresses
the moral character of organizations. The ways organizational
representatives interact with one another demonstrates the
relative levels of respect, honesty, integrity, equity,
responsibility, and trustworthiness of their organizations. As
modern organizational life has become increasingly politicized,
6. the ethics of interorganizational communication processes often
have been stretched by irresponsible attempts to influence
interorganizational outcomes.
There are many instances in the modern world where
questionable ethical choices have been made in guiding
interorganizational communication. News stories regularly
cover instances of organizational bribery, extortion, dishonesty,
manipulation, and collusion in the ways business, industrial,
health care, governmental, and even educational organizations
conduct business with their relevant publics. For example, there
have been many stories in the news about government lobbyists
engaging in unscrupulous activities while representing clients,
such as the revelations about former lobbyist and businessman
Jack Abramoff, who offered bribes and misinformed officials to
reap huge personal profits. Similarly, media coverage of
Bernard Madoff's extortion of clients' investment funds as part
of a Ponzi scheme to steal their money illustrates ethical
improprieties in the ways that some devious executives interact
with their clients.
Public relations, advertising, and lobbying activities have been
particularly susceptible to charges of ethical improprieties.
Groups of organizations often have been found to unfairly
monopolize control over relevant resources, products, or
markets. It is not uncommon for organizations to seek financial
gains at the expense of their employees, suppliers, customers, or
competitors. Such unethical attempts for interorganizational
influence and control violate the moral standards of society,
weaken the credibility of organizations, and threaten long-term
organizational effectiveness.
Three covering principles govern ethical organizational
communication: honesty, equity, and avoiding harm (Kreps,
1988):
1. For interorganizational communication to be ethical,
organizational communicators must strive to be honest. It is not
ethical for organizational representatives purposefully to
deceive customers, regulators, or competitors. Practices such as
7. false advertising, fudging of records, and withholding
information from stakeholders or regulators are clear examples
of dishonesty. Other questionable interorganizational practices
include espionage, sabotage, overpricing of goods and services,
discriminatory employment practices, and thievery.
2. For interorganizational communication to be ethical it must
be equitable. It is not fair for organization members to exert
undue and oppressive influence on different publics. Any
organizational practices that unfairly restrain free trade, self-
determination, and inhibit the activities of key publics—such as
instances of monopoly, conflict of interest, bribery, coercion,
stock manipulation, and discrimination—threaten equity in
organizational life.
3. Organizations also have the responsibility to minimize harm
to their environments and to their publics. For example,
automakers have the responsibility to build safe and reliable
cars that will not put drivers at risk of accidents, fires, and
explosions. Farmers have the responsibility to protect against
spreading toxins in the foods they produce that could lead to
serious illnesses and deaths for consumers. Officials who
operate nuclear power plants have the responsibility to enforce
safety measures to reduce the risk of public exposure to
radiation.
Organizations are more or less externally accountable to the
extent that they live up to these covering principles for ethical
organizational communication. Failures to promote external
accountability inevitably lead to unethical interorganizational
communication. Any organizational activity that endangers the
environment decreases the organization's external accountability
and violates implicit contracts between the organization and its
publics. Organizational activities such as falsifying public
records, withholding information about potential or current
dangers, causing harm to the environment through pollution,
and discriminatory employment practices are all instances of
low external accountability. The best organizations engage in
external organizational communication practices that promote
8. external accountability. For example, McDonald's has begun
providing nutrition information about all the foods it sells so
consumers can make good choices about the foods they choose
to eat. The company is not required to provide this nutrition
information but decided to do so to help its customers make
healthy food choices and to demonstrate its external
accountability to customers.
To enhance the ethics of interorganizational communication,
clear moral standards for organizational behavior must be
established and maintained by organizational leaders as
important themes of organizational cultures. The covering
principles for ethical organizational communication (honesty,
avoiding harm, and equity) should be used as guidelines for
directing and evaluating interorganizational communication.
Organization members, especially boundary spanners, should
strive to develop honest, culturally sensitive, and trusting
relationships with representatives of the interorganizational
field. Clear, sensitive, and ethical communication between
organizational representatives can facilitate the development of
effective implicit contracts and meaningful interorganizational
relationships. For example, Walgreens Pharmacies enacted a
new policy to make pharmacist advisers available in all their
stores to help customers learn about the risks and benefits of
prescribed medications, as well as to explain the correct use of
medications. This program demonstrates the company's concern
for customer safety and also helps to establish good working
relationships between pharmacists and patients. Similarly, the
personal banker strategy used by several banks to advise
consumers about good investment options is a way these banks
are building personal relationships between bank personnel and
customers.
