CAT/Lex Service Group
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that uses C.A.T. analysis in order to evaluating the ethics of a business scenario. The modern world frequently offers situations where ethical considerations are mixed and complicated, particularly in the competitive world of capitalistic business. A C.A.T. Scan, or "case analysis template," provides a matrix that aids in isolating pertinent ethical consideration to a particular scenario (Goodpaster, Nash and De Bettignies, 2006). The following C.A.T. scan concerns the Lex Service Group, a British firm, and the repercussion of its sale, which resulted in the closing of their Portsmouth Depot. This analysis employs the ethical perspective of utilitarianism, as espoused by John Stuart Mill. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Change Of Business Ethics In America In The Last Five Years
[ send me this paper ]
35 pages in length. Having too much is still not enough in today's capitalistic American society where greed is the watchword and ethics have lost any place in a civilized culture. Gordon Gekko, the ruthless, antagonizing business mogul in Hollywood's interpretation of "Wall Street," represents the epitome of complete disregard for contemporary corporate ethics. His callous approach to business precludes any ability to see beyond his overwhelming greed; as such, he instills within his underlings this same malevolence, a premise one might readily argue quite clearly mirrors the growing trend of unethical practices in corporate America over the past five years. The writer discusses Enron and WorldCom as examples of corporate ethics decline. Bibliography lists 32 sources.

Coca Cola And The Environment
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The Coca Cola company is as committed to upholding its self-imposed position of environmental stewardship as it is in manufacturing one of the most popular soft drinks in the industry. That it has drawn up supplier guidelines in order to address this very aspect of its business relationships speaks to the company's unyielding dedication to maintaining a company whose vision is broad enough to incorporate the humane treatment of its surrounding environment. Indeed, Coca Cola prides itself on being an integral component of the bigger picture when it comes to the often difficult task of being successful while also being environmentally conscious and taking responsibility for its actions, a set of requirements the company makes not only for itself but also for its suppliers and contractors. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Cognitive Dissonance And Environmental Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. People often need a reason to abide by a less popular theory, given the fact that human beings place a great deal of stock into the concept of consistency; when attitudes or beliefs do not conform to the accepted standard, one might begin to feel out of place. Such is the case with cognitive dissonance theory, a psychological approach that contends "there is a tendency for individuals to seek consistency among their cognitions" (Cognitive Dissonance #2). Applying this particular theory to the encouragement of environmental ethics within big business, one can readily surmise that the only way in which to offset the common practice of spewing pollutants is to: reduce the importance of the dissonant beliefs; add more consonant beliefs that outweigh the dissonant beliefs; or change the dissonant beliefs so that they are no longer inconsistent. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Common Morality's Applicability to Business
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The concepts of right and wrong seem so simple on the surface. Webster's defines morality as adherence to a standard of "right human conduct." Superficially, that definition would be easy for the "simple" to understand. When the focus is narrowed, however, it seems that the concept of morality grays in its boundaries. Morality is not only the black and white that the "simple" so seemingly effortlessly can see, with that clear line of demarcation between it and immorality. Focus is increasingly narrowed in our harried lives of today, but all of us are charged with keeping vigilance on the level of standard we will tolerate. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
