    Mini Case
    Need for Ethics

    1. What are some of the ethical challenges business leaders face?


    • No clear moral intention to guide leaders through ethical dilemmas
    - Ethics will help them to take decisions ethically that will not harm the
    organization. Also, ethical leadership who bears responsibility will prevent to
    cause such damages in the organization.
    • Ill-equipped
    - Ethics will help them to consistently adhere to the rules following their own
    ethical standard serves as an inspiration to the people, indicating that leaders
    should stand by their core values.

    2. What are/is the role of business ethics in improving corporate strategy and
    community development?
    - It helps to manage business resources, risk and return across a firm, as opposed
    to looking at a competitive advantages in business strategy. It entails a clearly
    defined, long-term vision that organization set, seeking to create corporate value
    and motivate the workforce to implement the proper actions. It also improves the
    community development where people come together to take action on what's important
    to them and to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems.

    3. Why do you think some companies meglect pursuance of business ethics in their
    organization?
    - Some companies neglect the pursuance of business because for them ethics is not
    considered a part of the company's drcision making. In other words, decisions are
    made by experts who only consider their limited field and overlook the implications
    of their decisions. Also, individual predominates in business because everyone has
    their own interest and agendas. The idea of what is ethical will bother them
    because it doesn't allow to do their things on their own way.

    Mini - Case
    Banning the Real Thing

    1. Which ethical standards are being violated here?


    • In our understanding, the ethical standard that being violated is not
    having enough good practices in the company and the unethical labor practices. The
    ethical standards that being violated are the use of solidwaste disposal, overuse
    of pesticides in India and lack of sufficient irrigation water. They act unethical
    in regards to the compliance which lead to negative result of the company.

    2. Is the University being unreasonable in the high standards demanded in its


    vendor code of conduct?
    • For us, the university is not being unreasonable because they
    prioritize the safety of the vendor and they want the vendors to sell a good
    quality products. The university is being fair and just.

    3. Do you think the University would have developed the vendor code of conduct w/o
    the aggresive campaign put forward by sole?
    • No, because if they will not resort in aggresiveness of their campaign
    it will not be effective and most of their vendor will not obey the code of
    conduct.

    4. How should Coca-cola respond in order to keep the University of Michigan


    contracts?
    • Our group think that the company of Coca-cola should handle
    satisfactory progress in terms of their labor practices and they should prioritize
    the environment. They should immediately comply to the vendor code of conduct of
    the university so that the university will let the company of Coca Cola sell it's
    products again in the university.

    5. How would you relate the situation in the local environment?


    • The local government sometimes didn't think about the effects of their
    businesses to the environment and sometimes they have unethical labor practices
    because they value gaining profits than thinking the health of their employees and
    the environment. For example, some of the local government have poor facilities or
    offers poor products/services to hoard the funds that they gain through the taxes
    of the people or in other words, they corrupt the money of the people for their own
    benefit.
