Question

3-4. Ethics

An excellent answer would clearly delineate the differences between each of the standards for ethical decision making and would persuasively make the case for a particular solution.

3 Sarah Goodwin was a recent MBA graduate who was interested in retailing. She had been delighted to receive a job offer from a large and prestigious department store chain. The first year of employment at this chain was considered a training program, but formal instruction was very limited. Each of the new trainees was assigned to work as an assistant to a buyer in one of the departments. The intent was that the trainees would work with five or six buyers during the year, rotating assignments every two months and would make themselves “useful” enough during those assignments so at least one buyer would ask to have that person join his or her department on a permanent basis.

Buyers are critical in the management of a department store. They select the goods to be offered, negotiate terms of purchase, set retail prices, arrange displays, organize promotions, and are generally responsible for the operation of the departments within the store. In this particular chain each department acted as a profit center and sales and profits were calculated on a per square foot basis. Buyers competed, on a friendly basis, to outperform each other so that their square footage would be expanded. The buyers received substantial commissions based upon monthly profits.

Sarah’s first assignment was to work for the buyer in the gourmet foods department. The buyer for gourmet foods, Maria Castellani, was a well-known personality throughout the company. She was considered competent, witty, and sarcastic. She had strong ties with most people in the company and it seemed that everybody in the store seemed to find a reason to stop by the gourmet food department at least once during the day to chat with Maria. Sarah was naturally included in these conversations, and consequently she was getting to know all the other buyers. This networking made it easy for her to build relationships with other buyers for her future assignments.

For the first five weeks of her employment, Sarah was exceptionally happy and pleased with her career choice. She felt that she was performing well on her first job, and making sensible arrangements for her next assignment. Then, an event occurred that called her contentment into question:

We received a shipment of thin little wafers from England that have a creme filling. They were packaged in foil-covered boxes, but somehow they had come to be infested with insects.

We did not think that all of the boxes were infested, because not all of the customers brought them back. However, some people did and, obviously, we could not continue to sell them. We could not inspect the packages, and keep the ones that were not infested, because there were too many—about $12,000 worth— and because we have had to tear the foil to open each box. Maria said that the manufacturer would not give us a refund because the infestation doubtless occurred during shipment, or even during storage at our own warehouse.

Maria told me to get rid of them. I thought she meant for me to arrange to have them taken to the dump, but she said, “Absolutely not. Call (name of executive) at (name of discount convenience store chain). They mainly operate in the inner city and they can sell anything. We’ve got to get our money back.”

Describe how someone in Sarah Goodwin’s position might respond to this situations consideration each of the ethical perspectives (utilitarian, rights, fairness or justice, common good, virtue) we discussed in class. Of these, either individually or in combination, what course of action would you favor and why?

4. Ethics Scenario B

An excellent answer would clearly delineate the differences between each of the standards for ethical decision making and would persuasively make the case for a particular solution. Vacation cruises have become very popular. Approximately 85 cruise ships, primarily based in Miami, FL, offer three, five, and seven day trips to Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Some of these cruise ships are very large, carrying 2,000 to 3,000 passengers and 500 to 700 staff, the equivalent of a small town. The large cruise ships are essentially floating hotels, but unlike land-based hotels, they are not connected to municipal water and sewer systems. They carry the fresh water needed for drinking, washing, laundry, and kitchen use in huge tanks. Human wastes from toilets are stored in large tanks that are pumped our when the ship returns to home port. Nonhuman wasters are stored in much smaller tanks that are discharged, each night, at sea. The nonhuman wastes are called “gray water,” which bring to mind the soapy water from baths and showers. That is certainly included but also included is waster from the ships laundry, kitchen, and garbage disposals.

The quality of seawater and marine life declined substantially in the areas frequented by cruise ships. Shipping executives assert that the chemical (soap and other cleaning agents) and biological materials quickly disperse in the wave actions of the sea. Shipping company officials maintain that the decline in marine life and water quality is mainly the result of poor waste treatment practices on the islands themselves and to over fishing.

Official in the companies that own the cruise ships say they cannot afford to carry tanks large enough to store all of the nonhuman wastes until they return to the home port. The ships add fresh water to their thanks when they stop at the islands. However, those ports do not have waster treatment plants large enough to accept either the human or non-human wastes for processing. The space needed for larger tanks to store nonhuman wastes would, company officials claim, substantially take away from the space available for the accommodation of paying passengers. Ship designers had estimated that it would decrease passenger

MGT303 EXAM POOL QUESTIONS

accommodations by 15-20% to add the necessary tanks. The tanks would also display below water housing for crew forcing the companies to move crew housing into current space for paying guests. Executives believe that these changes would require a 15 to 20 percent increase in cruise prices to make up for the lost revenue.

The island nations do not like gray water dumping just of their coasts but they are dependent on the dollars that tourism brings and cruise ships are a big part of this business. Island nations that have objected too strongly in the past have been told that the cruise ships would simply find a different port-of-call. International maritime law provides no assistance to those nations, as it is not illegal to dump such wastes “at-sea” which is usually defined as three miles off shore. Several Caribbean nations appealed to the World Health Organization (WHO) citing problems such as external rashes and internal tumors showing up on marine animals. The WHO said it had no authority to acts as long as it could not be proven that human health was affected.

As an executive at the cruise lines, what course of action would you recommend? Please describe the differing ways an executive at the cruise lines might make a decision about what to do using the different ethical perspectives (utilitarian, rights, fairness or justice, common good, virtue) we discussed in class. Of these, either individually or in combination, what course of action would you favor and why?

5. Diversity

Microsoft is known for managing diversity well. The following is from its website:

As a global company, Microsoft employs people from more than 135 different countries and regions. A multicultural workforce enables us to attract and retain the most qualified employees, develop more innovative products, and better serve the needs of a wide range of customers. Microsoft and the technology industry have an incredible opportunity and challenge to meet the needs of a globally diverse population. As a global industry leader and corporate citizen, we continue our efforts to understand, value, and incorporate differences; to enable talent; to satisfy customers; and to lead technology innovation globally.

Microsoft’s corporate commitment to the principle of diversity means that we believe diversity enriches our products, empowers us to provide excellent customer service, enhances the lives of our employees, and connects us to the communities where we live and work.
At Microsoft, our goal is to build the greatest multicultural workplace in the technology industry. We know that in order to reflect the growing diversity of our communities and the global marketplace, we must make every effort to understand, value, and incorporate the differences of our employees. To that end, we value training as an important aspect of our overall global diversity and inclusion strategy.

Microsoft’s diversity education programs are designed to reinforce the company's commitment to diversity while ensuring that employees have the awareness, skills, knowledge, and ability to carry out their individual responsibilities. The goal of diversity training and education is to provide employees with the key competencies they need to excel in their current or future roles, and to create a workplace environment that is empowering, inclusive, and supportive so all employees can do their best work. The collective strength of employees trained in diversity will help Microsoft provide more innovative solutions, services, and products for a global market.

We leverage many training media to deliver quality awareness and skill building to our employees and managers. Microsoft incorporates diversity into core curriculum training courses, offers many standalone diversity training courses, and uses articles, books, and multimedia for further education about diversity and inclusion issues in the workplace. A formal mentoring program, open to all employees, helps each employee find diverse role models and advisors.

6. Cross-Cultural and International Issues

Imagine yourself as a manager who has been working for the XYZ Corporation in Boston for the last three years. You are being sent for a six month assignment to another country, which is culturally quite different from the U.S. Describe Hofstede’s framework, use it to compare the American culture with the culture in which you’ll be working for the next six months, and describe what you might do to enhance your chances of success dealing the cross-cultural challenges of this assignment.

7-8. Conflict and Communications

7. “I don’t want excuses, I just want results,” Mike, the regional sales manager says to the sales executives. He is frustrated by the results from most of the sales executives. Since sales executives are always in field, he writes emails and makes phone calls to be in touch with them. However, he feels that they just do not follow his suggestions. The sales teams also share similar feelings. They find him insensitive to their needs and think that he does not see things their way. However, they do not express their issues to him. When Mike was asked if there are any problems with his staff, he replied, “We just can’t seem to communicate.”

Using the scenario above as a basis, describe at least three major different barriers to communication and suggest good ways to overcome these barriers. In addition, describe how Mike might manage the potential conflict with others most effectively.

8.What perceptual biases contribute hinder interpersonal communication and contribute to conflict? Provide at least two specific examples pertaining to conflict/communication and two pertaining to biases and perceptions that might contribute to miscommunication and conflict and consider how such obstacles might be overcome.

Identify specific ways that the individual or organizational factors promote creativity and identify at least three organizational effects or outcomes of creativity.

12. Group Decision-Making

The spring sun shines brightly on the so-called Googleplex, the five-building campus of the hottest Internet search engine on earth. At lunchtime, hundreds of engineers at Google Inc. chow on free fare prepared by the former chef of the Grateful Dead. Kicking back? It’s more like a fuel stop. They eat, paying little heed to co-founder Larry Page as he swoops by on skates. And as evening sets in, those same brainiacs, wedged three to six per office, huddle in quiet conference or patter away at their computers in unblinking concentration. Whether in sneakers or on skates, the Google crowd emits cerebral intensity and a near-palpable sense of urgency.

The company still operates under freewheeling management, a vestige of its peaceful prosperity as a private company. Under a ruling triumvirate, no one exec has clear control. Decisions emerge from three-way negotiations between Schmidt and co-founders Page and Sergey Brin. Engineers, meanwhile, work in the same culture of controlled chaos that built the startup. All are free to pursue pet projects. The result is an engineer’s dream — but hell for planners. Some investors find the approach unsettling. “They do not sound even remotely like a fiercely competitive world-class company, [but] rather kids playing in a sandbox,” says one Google investor, who plans on selling shortly after the IPO.

Considering how rarely co-CEOs have been able to share an executive suite effectively, experts think it’s only a matter of time before the power-sharing setup at Google dissolves. “If multiple people are making decisions, decisions don’t get made,” says David Yoffie, professor at Harvard Business School. “At Google, there are tens or hundreds of projects going on simultaneously. Ultimately one person has to make a decision.”

Google execs maintain that the company’s freewheeling engineering culture is not a liability but an asset. To offset Microsoft and Yahoo’s crushing advantage in size, scope, and customers, they say, the far smaller Google requires breakthrough innovations. The company, which receives about 1,000 resumes a day, has hired hundreds of engineers and scores of top- ranked PhDs in recent years. By giving them free rein to pursue new ideas, Google expects to come up with services, from e-mail to community networks, that set its larger competitors back on their heels. “What we really talk about is how we can attract and develop this creative culture,” says Schmidt. “Innovation comes from invention, which you cannot schedule.”

Google’s managers rarely tell engineers what projects to tackle. Instead, execs keep a “Top 100” priorities list (which today numbers more than 240 items), and engineers gravitate to issues that interest them, forming fluid working groups that can last weeks or months. Engineers are urged to spend about one day a week working on their own personal research projects, no matter how offbeat, in hopes of sparking the Next Big Thing. “We’re encouraging creativity and tolerating chaos,” says Wayne Rosing, Google’s vice-president for engineering. “We turn that dial all the way over to loud.”

To foster a culture of creativity, the company’s campus is a veritable theme park for propeller heads. Engineers unwind by playing roller hockey in the downstairs garage or racing remote-control blimps through the offices. Segway scooters, which retail at $4,000, are parked around campus, offering a novel way to navigate between buildings. Perks are lavish, from two flat-screen monitors on each computer to $800 toilets, equipped with remote controls to adjust seat temperature and water pressure.

13. Power, Influence, Persuasion

As you likely know, UMASS Boston’s Master Plan calls for major changes over the next decades. The Master Plan includes the construction of the new science complex, other academic buildings and, for the first time new dormitories.

These plans are not without controversy. Immediate neighbors to the campus have expressed concern about the impact of many students living here Columbia Point. Some members of the UMass alumni community have questioned whether transitioning to more of a residential campus is appropriate, safe, or desirable for UMass Boston. City approval is also necessary to go ahead with the construction. The City is also aware that UMAss is a large employer and creates substantial revenue for the city, yet they must also be sensitive to neighborhood concerns. Furthermore, the planning and approval process is such that a well-organized neighborhood group might be able to successfully sway city councilors such that parts of the plan may not be approved. Furthermore must gain on-going support from alumni who are necessary to provide funding in support of this effort.

5. Leadership

Vaclav Havel was born in 1936 into a middle-class Czechoslovakian family with intellectual and artistic interests. He showed early enthusiasm for reading, writing, and the theatre. But after the Nazi takeover of Czechoslovakia in the late 1930’s followed by the Communist takeover in the 1940’s, he was expelled from some schools and denied entry into others because of his upper-class “bourgeois” background. Because of his class background his employment opportunities were also severely limited. First he worked as a chemist’s assistant while also publishing his first critical essays.

Between 1957 and 1959, Havel entered the army as was required. In the army he produced his first play, You’ve Got Your Whole Life Ahead of You, and organized a troop theater to stage it. The play is about a solider who chooses the truth and morality and refuses the temptation of an easy undeserved promotion. Only after the play was close to winning a top prize at a military theater competition did officials investigate Havel’s background and suspect a hidden message in the play’s sly humor about critical aspects of Communist army culture. After the performance the play was condemned as anti-army and the theater company had to return all the awards it had won. In addition to experiencing and reflecting on the conflict between himself and the army, Havel for the first time met with people outside his fairly intellectual friend and family circle and he formed friendships with and learned from those whose lives and in some cases values were quite different than his own. He later talked of the value of forming teenage friendships across lines of race, nationality, social class and gender.

After the army Havel became a well-known playwright. Still ineligible for “management” because of his families privileged background, he got a job as a stagehand at the Theater on the Balustrade, with the promise of being able to participate creatively in the work of the theater. He stayed eight years, wrote some of his best plays in that time and rescued the theater from bad management by doing everything from building sets to, organizing the paperwork and touring schedule, helping the director make decisions about contracts, the social heart of the company as well. Largely because of his precense and what over his whole lifetime is referred to as his genius for developing “working friendships” the divisions among roles at the theater—director, actor, stage crew, etc. were often not organized according to formal hierarchy but instead with mutual respect and much humor. In 1967 Havel was invited to become the editor of Tvar, a magazine for young writers that chose not to support any particular viewpoint or ideology but simply published diverse works they considered good. In 1968 hard-line Communists seized power in government and censorship and political repression became very strong. Many talented artists and writers were silenced, imprisoned, or forced into exile. Havel chose to remain in Czechoslovakia despite the oppressive political and artistic climate. Yet in the early 1970’s he was banned as an author and he and his wife Olga lived in a sparse country home outside of the city (Prague).

In 1977, he then took a lead role in drafting an opposition declaration called Charter 77 and the Communist party responded with massive arrests. He spent five years in prison and was repeatedly interrogated and beaten. He said he was committed to “breath some positive significance” into the experience and wrote letters to his wife that were published widely. He came close to dying but because he was well-known throughout the world and the government was concerned that his death would cause embarrassment, they released him in 1984. He returned to his country cottage and wrote some of his most political and personal plays.

MGT303 EXAM POOL QUESTIONS

When a peaceful vigil turned into a clash between students and police on November 17th, 1989, Havel immediately traveled from his cottage in Prague. The following day students continued their demonstration, called for a public show of support. On November 19, Havel announced the formation of the Civic Forum which united all opposition groups. He spoke to over 200,000 students gathered on the cities central square and threatened a general strike on November 27th if their demands for an investigation of Nov. 17th, the release of political prisoners, and freedom of the press were not met. During the next several weeks Havel spoke at demonstrations, organized strikes, discussed the tactics of the movement with contacts and allies, and negotiated the peaceful resignation of the government and the Communist Party. He also oversaw the formation of a new Federal Assembly, allowing the election of new members who represented the opposition. The newly formed Federal Assembly unanimously elected Vaclav Havel as President of Czechoslovakia.

Although Czech society was feeling rage and hatred toward the old rulers, Havel emphasized that it was not necessary to come together “against.” The state of the society was not only the responsibility of the former Communist rulers and party members but of all citizens. According to Havel, “We are all—though naturally to different extents—responsible for the operation of totalitarian machinery. None of us is just a victim: we are all also its co-creator.” Havel saw the biggest problem for his country not the ruined outer trappings—its dead economy, poor school system, polluted environment or average life-span of less than sixty years of age. Havel said, “the worst thing is that we live in a contaminated moral environment. We fell morally ill because we got used to saying something different from what we thought. We learned not to believe in anything, to ignore each other, to care only for ourselves.” His positions on foreign politics also reframed the role of Czechoslovakia on the world scene. He refused to hold prejudice against other countries based on previous historic misfortunes. His first foreign visit as President was to Germany, where instead of attacking the Nazi takeover of Czechoslovakia, he publicly apologized to the Germans who were expelled from Czechoslovakia after the fall of the Nazi regime. His position was highly controversial and sparked debates in Czechoslovakia but it clearly showed that Czechoslovakia had new leadership. The popularity of his ideas facilitated the return of Czechoslovakia to European society and the country received an invitation to join NATO and the European Union.

Edgard Schein defines organization culture as “the basic tacit assumptions about how the world is and ought to be that a group of people share and that determines their perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and, their overt behavior.

He divides organizational culture into 3 levels:

Functions of Culture

1. Culture furnishes us with outline for living. It is constantly learned and gained.

2. Culture gives a progression of example by which organic and socio-social requests of gathering individuals are met e.g. food, shelter, and generation and association with gathering and people.

3. Culture gives an arrangement of principles to guarantee co-operation of the people of a gathering in changing natural circumstance.

4. Culture gives individual an arrangement of instant meaning of circumstance.

5. Culture helps in comprehension and anticipating the human conduct and furthermore it gives channels of connection to people inside the gathering.

6. Culture gives us a guidepost or sort of guide for all our life exercises. It characterizes the example of conduct for people so he acts as indicated by the conduct design endorsed and characterized by culture.

7. Culture goes about as a methods for social control through standards, folkway, and moves laws.

All these functions are being taken care of by the organization in question.

Role of leaders in maintaining organization culture-

1. Display practices

Pioneers must walk the discussion and show others how its done. Your group looks to you to lead the pack, and show and convey your desires, particularly amid change. You can't anticipate that individuals will change their propensities in the event that you aren't willing to do as such yourself. Along these lines, you have to roll out similar improvements and show similar activities you expect out of your group. On the off chance that you lead the pack, others will take after.

In the organization in question- the leader serves as a role model by taking decisions for the organization- “Considering how rarely co-CEOs have been able to share an executive suite effectively, experts think it’s only a matter of time before the power-sharing setup at Google dissolves. “If multiple people are making decisions, decisions don’t get made,” says David Yoffie, professor at Harvard Business School. “At Google, there are tens or hundreds of projects going on simultaneously. Ultimately one person has to make a decision.””

2. Build up a reason to put stock in

Individuals need to comprehend what is anticipated from them. They need to be clear with what their part involves and how it impacts the association.

Speak with every worker how the association's motivation interfaces with the particular employment they are performing. For instance, if your organization's motivation is to "give an excellent client encounter" guarantee that every individual – whether they are a cleaner, secretary, branch administrator or official, sees how they can bolster this reason in their part.

3. Set Expectations and enable individuals to fabricate the required aptitudes

The vast majority need to enhance their expert range of abilities and have any kind of effect. To do this, you have to give them the apparatuses, assets, and openings that enable them to develop and pick up trust in their capacity to meet desires and fit flawlessly into your vision for hierarchical culture. Offer instructing and preparing, and fortify the organization's central goal, vision and qualities through consistent correspondence.

You additionally need to set desires as individual destinations every year. Ensure that your group knows they are a piece of the way of life you are making and plainly impart how the organization will enable them to build up the expected abilities to be effective supporters. Set desires, yet in addition demonstrate to them the way to push ahead by offering support en route.

4. Fortify a culture of responsibility

Responsibility is a standout amongst the most critical routes for pioneers to impact culture. At the point when pioneers consider individuals responsible, it enables individuals to comprehend that they are responsible in everything they do. Without responsibility measures set up, a pioneer's impact and word will fail to be noticed. Your group needs to see that the manner by which you work together, inward procedures and frameworks, and social components are set up on purpose.

Influencing responsibility to some portion of your way of life starts with, having itemized sets of responsibilities with plainly settled measures (i.e. increment deals, enhance consumer loyalty rating) so individuals are sure about what achievement resembles. These measures should be additionally characterized every year with particular expectations as a component of their execution administration design so audits depend on unmistakably characterized and concurred criteria. Straightforwardness is basic when fabricating a culture of responsibility.

5. Make it individual for your group

Regardless of whether you display wanted practices, build up an unmistakable reason, and consider individuals responsible, you can have much more impact on culture and execution on the off chance that you make it individual. Rolling out improvements and setting up a coveted culture will challenge individuals, and they will be safe unless you interface with them candidly and objectively.

This implies understanding what by and by rouses them, giving them the chance to grow new aptitudes and attempting to make a workplace that works for them and the association.

Contrast Persuasion from Power and Influence and consider whether the actor(s) in question were exercising power, leadership or both.

In the present scenario, I would effectively persuade neighbours, city officials, and alums by showing them how effective the project would be and how it would lead to development. I would also show them that the project is appropriate, safe and desirable. I would show them that we create mass revenue for the state. I would ensure that we take care of the neighboring concerns and do not affect their lifestyles by our project. I would try my level best to persuade every concerned party.

Persuasion is when you try and use your convincing skills to convince the concerned parties. Power is when you impose your decisions on the concerned parties. Influence is when you create a false impression and just get an approval for the sake of it from the concerned parties.

Persuasion is when you show the concerned parties the pros and cons of any plan and try to get their approval on the basis of your assertions.

The actors in the questions were exercising leadership by leading the parties in the right direction and were trying to be as persuasive as possible.
