The values of the executive groups are mainly
concerned with corporate governance and social
responsibility. They are worried about the
fulfillment of the needs and demands of the
stakeholders of the organization including the
shareholders, customers and creditors.
On the other hand, the values of an individual
employee consist of the honesty, integrity and
discipline at work. They seek to work in harmony
with the goals and objectives of the organization.
Comparison between Values and Executive groups VALUES:

5. Type of CULTURE:
If the layoffs continue, then naturally a culture surrounded with insecurity and
uncertainty will prevail in the corporation because the employees will be scared of
the layoffs and would think that they can lose
their job anytime. According to my rankings, the Tough-Guy Macho culture will
prevail. In this type of culture; risk is high and high prospect of employee's step-
downs or reward gains (What are cultural types?, 2009).
However, on the other side as per the executive group rankings, the Bet-Your-
Company culture will exist because this culture easily deals with executive group
values. In this type of culture, main focus is on long
term preparation and planning. In addition to this, stress is high because of high
risk factor and delay before knowing if actions have paid off (What are cultural
types?, 2009).

6. IMPORATNCE of Culture:
The culture is important because it is conceived as way to do
business in the dynamic environment. With the help of culture, it
will connect the individuals of a different region or community
collectively (Importance of Culture, 2009). Besides that, culture is
the only way that can communicate
background to its previous generations of its ability of maintaining
the long-term custom and acquiring the feeling of closeness of
people to the country of different or same culture. In addition to
this, culture also assists in developing identity and common
behaviors between individuals.
Due to change, the culture of organization must be given highly
focus in order to amend the self renewal process of the
organization.

7. Legal & Ethical Issues:
Various legal issues should be kept in mind during layoff
decisions. The major issue or challenge is to consider
the written layoff plan. The complete documentation of
the layoff decision should be done by the management.
This helps in protecting from improper decision.
Another challenge is to keep the clear business reason
for the layoff. If the reason is not clear, it can become
serious issue for the business. Another big issue should
be kept that the layoff decision is not taken on the basis
of sex, race, national origin, etc. The assistance of a
legal counsel should also be taken in this decision
(Spears, 2009).

8. Legal & Ethical Issues:
Layoff decisions in an organization create some ethical and legal
issues. Some of the issues, which should be kept in mind while
taking layoff decision, are described here. The morality of the
employee is affected by the layoff decision of the management.
The other employees of the organization are also affected by
this decision. Their moral and the idle work situation can also be
affected. The major issue before the management is sacrifice.
Ingenuity of employees is also a big issue because it is related
to the ethical choice of the business (Throop, 2009).
