An Evaluation of UPS's Approach toward Sustainability
The ethical dilemma witnessed in UPS provides an essential point of focus in determining the application of strategies in tackling different stakeholder's interests to achieve the objectives of the company. The dealing with the needs of the company must put the interests of stakeholders at stake to ensure that each group is satisfied with the operations of the organization. In the analysis of UPS, it is possible to explain the emerging issues by focusing on various forms of ethics to handle. Examples of ethical factors relevant in this discussion include the utilitarian, virtue, Kantian, and rights approaches (Herschel & Miori, 2017; Kalokairinou, 2018). Solving the ethical dilemma at UPS is possible by an emphasis on identification of the problem, balance sheet approach, engaging people, and the application of ethical reasoning to accomplish the misunderstanding.
Internal and external stakeholders have divergent views regarding the support of sustainable activities to society and the environment. Internal stakeholders include shareholders, the management, the chief financial officer, and other employees while the external stakeholders include the government, environmental agencies, suppliers, and competitors, among others. The major challenge regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR) lies in the use of resources that may not have the required returns from the perspective of the shareholders (Kolk, 2016). The internal environment of the business is likely going to focus on the financial aspects of the firm and the benefits of the shareholders to an extent of suspending sustainability activities as evident in the case study where other workers do not understand the CFO's commitment to CSR. The existence of different ideas regarding the problem in the company makes it necessary to apply approaches that help solve ethical dilemmas.
The four aspects applicable in UPS include debating the moral choice, using the balance sheet approach, engaging individuals at different levels in the organization, and integrating the final resolution into the strategic activities of the management (Herschel & Miori, 2017). It is essential to note that the application of these steps must use provisions of various ethical theories and approaches such as utilitarian, virtue, or Kantianism, depending on the factor that is affecting the organization. According to Kalokairinou (2018), CSR mostly applies the ideals of virtue and utilitarianism because the business enterprise such as UPS must engage in activities that are beneficial to a large number of people to make such an engagement a right. The public, therefore, is an example of the beneficiaries of environmental initiatives that ensure conservation and sustainability.
In the case study, the CFO should debate the moral choices of providing benefits t.

DATA

Participation & interviews on
sharing consumers’ behavior from
7 cases of “Solidarity purchasing
groups” (SPGs), Italy (2010-2013) Sharing (Belk 2010;
Lamberson & Rose
2012) and its “frugal
dimension”.
Replication of interviews from
similar 16 cases in Spain (grupos
de consumo and community
gardens) and 9 similar cases in
Netherlands (Comm. Supported

Secondary data and follow up
interviews on organizational

5. Findings (I): User Entrepreneurship
User Entrepreneurship (or Entr. In Consumption):
The process of innovatively recombining
resources to seek or create opportunities that
generate user (rather than exchange) value.

Participants pursue novel
opportunities for value
creation
Definition takes into account: entrepreneurship (Shane 2010); in everyday life
context (Steyaert and Hjorth 2004); accidental entrepreneurship (Shah and Tripsas
2007); user value in management (Bowman & Ambrosini 2000; Priem 2007)
Participants recombine
resources through sharing
them with others
WHAT participants do:
Procure food
Organize storage & distribution
Organize finance
Organize knowledge sharing, leisure
events
Seek new members or promoting
this form of consumption
HOW participants do:
Use and recombine time & labor
Use and recombine social capital
Use and recombine financial capital
Use and recombine physical capital

10. Final points & discussion
10
1. “Sharing” as co-access and/or co-ownership:
Wide variety of forms, contexts and vocabulary
This paper aims to understand how individual participants contribute to
“frugal forms” of sharing
2. Entrepreneurship in consumption plays key role in sharing:
Entrepreneurship -> Sharing Performance?
Or sharing -> entrepreneurship?
Can entrepreneurship be “user value-based”? Is it useful for consumers’
quality of life? Can it be learned? Can this learning be applied outside
the sharing economy?
3. Organizational mechanisms help explaining what sharing really entails:
How do they change participants’ behavior through feedback
mechanisms of value creation?
11. Thank you!
This is still a working paper: your
feedback is tremendously appreciated!
