Course Works on Ethical Issues and Management
Discipline may be described as the ways, means, and avenues or channels used by the managers of institutions, businesses or other corporations to identify, investigate and rectify or correct misconduct or infringements among its staff in order to ensure compliance to the laid down company rules and regulations. Discipline is critical in the work place; it makes an organization to be cohesive and better able to achieve its goals (Imundo 1993). Discipline can be thought of as observance of set rules that guides workplace conduct of employees. Because there must be cases of indiscipline in the organization, disciplinary mechanism must be set in place. These disciplinary mechanisms must be carefully designed to bring about a corrective effect to the culprit rather than a punishment. Prior to embarking on any disciplinary measure, it’s always important for the managers to explore other non-disciplinary measures to solve the problems for example dialogue and counseling. However, the use of these methods should be limited to mild incidences of misconduct and should not be utilized to the detriment of the organization or company. Chronic or persistent misconduct must not be tolerated and the management should take the necessary disciplinary steps to rectify the behavior. The most commonly applied disciplinary measures include issuance of warning letters, suspension and termination of employment in extreme cases of indiscipline. This paper will discuss the moral and ethical issues faced by managers, their effect on other individuals, and ethically responsible management practices in ensuring discipline is maintained at workplace. Moral and ethical issues facing management are diverse and typical of the diverse fields of management (Shaw 2004). These fields comprise of finance, accounting, human resource management, marketing, personalized marketing among others. Despite this categorization most ethical issues cut across a number of fields and it may be difficult to isolate them from each other. Ethical challenges facing managers in human resource and management are the most rampant and commonly found at the workplace (Gilliland, Steiner, Skarlicki 2007). These moral and ethics challenges related to discipline at workplace include: (1) Absenteeism; this is where an employee does not report to duty or work without official authorization from the employer. This is a common phenomenon in modern corporate world and may take two different forms that are unintentional or non-deliberate absenteeism and censurable or blamable absenteeism. Non-deliberate absenteeism is said to have occurred when an employee desert fro m duty due to reasons beyond their control such as failing health or impairment. Censurable absenteeism is judged to have occurred when an employee absents himself or herself without authorization and for no concrete or plausible reasons e.g. an employee who feigns ailment and obtains a sick leave from work. If it is later proven that the employee feigned the sickness, the employee is guilty of blamable absenteeism. The main dilemma for the managers in their quest to eradicate absenteeism is in determination of whether the employee is guilty of one form of absenteeism or the other (Gilliland et al 2007). Normally, non-deliberate absenteeism is usually solved by verbal and written counseling, job reshuffling and discharge from duty if absenteeism becomes chronic. It is considered unfair to take disciplinary measures in unintentional absenteeism as this may be interpreted as punishing someone for conduct which is beyond their control. In proven cases of censurable absenteeism, the managers should ensure that the laid down disciplinary procedures are followed so as not seen as applying unjustified punishment to the culprit. The disciplinary measures may include verbal warning that is talking to the culprit, written warnings, suspension from duty after consultations with the relevant authorities and in cases of chronic or persistent absenteeism the supervisory personnel may dismiss or terminate the employee from work. (2) Chronic tardiness; tardiness at workplace may be described as lateness or sluggishness in execution of duties for instance, lateness in reporting to work and giving flimsy excuses for it such as transport and traffic jam, inadequate sleep time, preparing children for school among others. Tardiness also includes failure to submit reports and other documents on time and failure to adhere to deadlines for no plausible reasons. The repercussions for tardiness are varied from one company to the other and from one manager to the other depending on the effect on the company performance or productivity. Some of the strategies used by managers to curb chronic tardiness include counseling the employee on time management, verbal warning accompanied with disclosure to the employee of his or her tardiness trends, written warnings in persistent tardiness and dismissal as the last resort. In curbing tardiness the managers must be beyond reproach and should not be victims of the vice themselves as this would set a dangerous precedence among the workers and this will hamper their efforts in dealing firmly with tardiness.(3) Sexual harassment; the issues raises a lot of debate as to what consists of sexual harassment in the workplace per se but can be described collectively as actions of sexual nature which can directly or indirectly have a negative impact in an individual’s execution of duties. These actions include; non-consented body contact such as touching a coworker, conversations of sexual nature, display of erotic or sexually inclined pictures or objects among others. Dealing with sexual harassment at workplace is an uphill task and managers should exercise extreme caution when determining what constitutes of an act of sexual harassment in different organization. The problem is even harder to curb because in most cases it involves sexual harassment of junior workers by the senior personnel. The managers need to have a clear and a well defined sexual harassment policy explaining what constitutes of sexual harassment and the consequences (Gilliland et al 2007) Other forms of indiscipline that are prevalent in the workplace include; employee insubordination or unruliness, the use of abusive or obscene language, neglect of company code of regulations relating to safety for example use safety gadgets, dishonesty und untrustworthiness of the workers, and various forms of theft from the organizations resources or premises by the employees. Managers themselves must be free of all forms of indiscipline (Imundo 1993); there are cases where managers themselves are involved in dishonest acts such as fiddling with accounts to overstate company profits. In a company I had worked for over the school holidays, all forms of dishonesty were strictly prohibited and managers made sure that such cases were dealt with. One of the managers used to collect cash from the accounts office as a reimbursement for client entertainment but one employee used to see him in a hotel with in company of his friend and not clients. The dilemma was, should the employee report that manager to more senior managers. There were some employees under that manager who had lost their jobs over actions dishonesty with company’s cash. The manager’s actions were clearly against the company’s code of ethics and due to his position; it would not be possible for him deal with cases of cash theft from the employees. Discipline at work place is of paramount importance in any organization and the managers have an obligation of demonstrating a high level of discretion in their quest of ensuring efficient and smooth running of an organization (Imundo 1993). There is a need for an organization to have a clear disciplinary policy with a clear and a justified procedure for dealing with indiscipline (Gilliland et al 2007). The policy should provide for an investigative stage where the validity of the misconduct is ascertained and discipline stage where a disciplinary action is executed. When taking disciplinary action on an employee the managers should put into account some factors for instance the duration of service of the employee, the employees comprehension of the infringed policy, previous work record of the culprit, the motive of the employee in engaging the vice, and the weight and effect of the offence to the company’s rules. The managers should also consider the legal options which are available to the worker including the labor laws so as not to infringe on the civil rights of the worker and risk being sued.

It includes every exterior forces within which a business organizations functions. Working of the business process is influenced by these forces and factors. Thus these forces and factors which stay outside the business, that are uncontrollable by single business entity but have an effect on business is called Business Environment. These factors or forces are customer, competitors, government, creditors, socio-cultural organizations, national and international organizations, political parties etc. These factors affect the business directly and indirectly according to its nature The business environment classified into three: Remote or General environment Industry environment Competitive environment Fig: Environmental Analysis According to Henry (2008), an organi zation has only two main environments i.e general and competitive environment. The competitive environment consists of industry and markets in which the organization operates. General environment is also named as macro-environment. The name Macro-environment is because the fluctuations that occur in this environment, will have an effect that go beyond the limits of the firms and industries. The below figure shows the connection between competitive and general environment of a firm as per Henry (2008): REMOTE OR GENERAL ENVIRONMENT: Remote environment can be also called as General environment and macro environment. Macro factors are generally more uncontrollable whereas micro environment factors are controllable as compared to macro factors. When macro factors become unmanageable the success of the business relies on the flexibility of the business to the changing environment. According to Hill and Jones,(2009), Macro-environmental factors sometimes influence the nation as a whole . Explained below are some of the macro environment factors. Economic Environment: The sum total of the nature of economic system of the country, business cycles, the socio-economic infrastructure etc is referred as Economic environment. Success of a business man depends on visualizing the outside factors influencing business, foreseeing changes that may occur in market conditions and making maximum return on minimum investment considering these outside or external factors.

Following are also affected by technical environment, the business in terms of investment in technology, consistent application of technology and the effects of technology on markets. COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT This means an environment in which competitions between organizations are high. A minute change in customers and competitors affects competitive plan of organization. It includes inventions of new products by competitors, developing new channels of distribution and emergence of new customer value. So competitive environment is closely related to the firm than the general environment.(Dobson et.al. 2004). Problems or opportunities resulting from variation in the competitive environment and in customer necessities are recognized by competitive environment analysis. Based on sound analysis, this procedure should be seen as dynamic, resourceful, and opportunity-focused. Thus two main areas that needs to be focused in this: Customer analysis Customer analysis at the business entity level involves building a complete understanding of customers, their needs and wants, and how these changes within a given market (market segmentation). Moreover, importance must be given to these changing needs, how is it occurring and what an organization should do to bring in change to the marketplace. Growth comes not by duplicating the competitors but by introducing creative and innovative strategy with flexibility, keeping in mind the changes that may occur in future to market conditions. Like any analysis, it is also done to identify the innovative strategies or plans that will create value for the business. Competitor analysis This analysis is undertaken at the business-unit level. With speci ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ c competitors, we assume that the unit in question is engaged in oligopolistic competition in which the market is dominated by small number of sellers. In a perfect competition there is no purpose of this analysis .While conducting competitor analysis, we have to follow certain defined procedure. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GENERAL AND COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENTS Firms collect information to take decisions regarding current running of business and for future decision making through a combined calculation of internal and external Environments. Elements that compose general environment in a wider society influence the industry and the firms in that industry. These are classified into six environmental segments: demographic, economic, political/legal, socio-cultural, technological, and global. A firm does not have a direct control over the general environments segments and elements. For making appropriate decisions and plans, successful companies collects amounts of data and information so that they can identify or understand each segment and implications to be done. Competitor analysis refers to the way or method in which how companies collect and interpret information about their competitors. Understanding the firms competitor environment complements the insights provided by studying the general environment helps identifying in the fir ms competitor environment. Strategic intent, strategic mission, and strategic actions of a firm are developed as a result of the three analysis that are done to identify the outside environment. General environment analysis is focused on the future on the other hand analyses of competitors are focused on forecasting the dynamics of competitors actions, responses, and plans. Although we discuss each analysis separately, if we integrate the information gained from both the two analysis, performance of the firm is improved to a great extent.

Macbeth Describe Macbeth As A Tragic Hero Essay Example For Students
Macbeth: Describe Macbeth As A Tragic Hero Essay MACBETH AS A TRAGIC HEROTragic heroes are within everyone, but cannot be fully exposed or understood without the essential tragic qualities. One must be a potentially noble character who endures heroic qualities and has respect and admiration from the society. Consequently, they must be essentially great. Also within the character must be a flaw or weakness that leads to a fall. Lastly, one is required to possess an element of suffering and redemption. Remorse and regret is a necessity for ones wrong doings or deeds. Ones pays for their wrong doings because of failure to find happiness and regrets for actions taken. Therefore they die heroically. In the play Macbeth this quality of a tragic hero is portrayed though the character Macbeth. The quality of a tragic hero in Macbeth is portrayed first by his position in society and his establishment of greatness. Macbeth is appreciated as a noble character and endures a high rank in the country of Scotland. He aided King Duncan in several victorious battles and his ranking was increased as a result of this. He was crowned Thane of Cawdor in addition to the Thane of Glamis. Macbeths position was also seen as high to the Scotish citizens because of his relation to the king. However, Macbeths bravery on the battlefield was great. Till he unseamed him from the nave to the chops, and fixed his head upon the battlements. (Act 1, Sc.2) And for his victory he receives lavish praise in reports from the Captian and Ross, a Scotish Nobleman. As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion. I must report they were as cannons overcharged with double cracks. (Act 1, Sc. 2) Macbeth is shown as extravagant on terms of what they say. He was also complemented several times by the Thane of Fife, M acduff. Furthermore, he was labeled several strong and brave animals on the battlefield, throughout the play. These many assessments and evaluations contribute greatly towards Macbeths appearance as a hero. Macbeths relationship with his wife, Lady Macbeth, also confirms his innate goodness and suggests well for him. Lady Macbeth highly respects and admires her husband as the Thane of Cawdor and refers to him as my dearest partner of greatness. (Act 1, Sc.5) She constantly demands that she understands Macbeth more than any other. This results in the others being expected to believe her. However, she incessantly declares that he is much too kind, Yet I do fear thy nature; It is too full o the milk of human kindness (Act 1, Sc 5) Lady Macbeth acknowledges that he has ambition but maintains that he lacks the evil that should attend it. Furthermore, Macbeth yearn for the crown but would as though he is riding high on the crest of the wave and endures the potential to furthur but his flaw of incessant kindness prevents his yearning. It is those strong brave qualities that rise him high in not play foully for it. It is society and Lady Macbeth wishes he would apply them appropriatly. Their s table relationship is yet another feature that brings forth Macbeths potential. Despite Macbeths great potential he endures an overriding flaw that he constantly gives in to. This overbearing flaw is his excessive ambition. He wishes to only get the crown, but demands to do nothing to rightfully achieve it. He refuses to kill his beloved king Duncan. For he belives he too kind and nice a man to deserve such a punishment. Macbeth initially fights agianst his dark and evil impulses, but he evenutally surcomes to them. It was his wife, Lady Macbeth, who convinced Macbeth to obey his evil urges by her clever manipulation. However, Macbeths fall begins when he starts to doubt his untold victory of the crown. What if we should fail? (Act 1, Sc. 7) It is the unpleasant deed of Duncans murder that stirs his mind. After his job of comitting the deed he shows immediate regret and remorse for what he had done. Nevertheless, his fall is far from complete, it continues. His ambition takes reason prinsoner. .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 , .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 .postImageUrl , .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 , .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8:hover , .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8:visited , .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8:active { border:0!important; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8:active , .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8 .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .ub5233a118bb08e8523b35f1b3ce083e8:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Types Of Tenders And Tendering Process Construction EssayMacbeths fall continues gradually when he soon grasps the idea that he had not earned his yearning of the crown. We have scorched the snake, not killed it. (Act 3, Sc.2) There was still a great problem. It was Banquo who would reieve hier to the throne before Macbeth. It was essiential, according to the witches, that he immediately kill Banquo and his descendants. At that demand, the deed was done. However, his attempted murder of Fleance, Banquos son, was not achieved. Consequently, a transition begins in Macbeth. He is acknowledged as a hell-hound, butches, tyrant and a hell kite (Act 3). These were great turning p oint for Macbeth. For it is now his evil side that he obeys. He simply resolves his remorse by acting on his initial impulses. The very firstlings of my heart shall be the firstlings of my hand. (Act 4, Sc.1) Therefore, Macbeths habits became so terrible that he finally reaches his lowest ebb, the murders of the Macduffs. For he had no reason for their murders, it was simply an impulse that he immediately acted upon. He then caused Scotland suffering, famine, death and disease. This was so because of his absence of the king becoming graces. Macbeth had now lost his good reputation. His downfall was now complete. Macbeth, however, is shown throughout the play with an element of suffering and redemption. The murders that he comitted deeply cause this remorse and guilt. In result, Macbeth is found unable to sleep, pray or even eat because of the murder of his beloved king Duncan. Methought I heard a voice cry Sleep no more!Macbeth does murder sleep (Act 2, Sc.2) Macbeth is also seen a sense of remorse when he was found seeing the ghost of Banquo. He repetedly demanded that he did not murder him. This is a deep symptom of redemption. However, this sorrow does not compare to the large extent he receives of it towards the end of the play. He sees the future as pointless and unthrilling. He decides that his life is not worth living. I have lived long enough. (Act 5, Sc.4) He is in complete despair. He soon realizes that there is nothing fo rim but curses, mouth-honor and breath. However, there is an element of self-knowledge. He recognized that he received his yearning, the crown, but it did not br ing him happiness. His life becomes completely meaningless when his wife, Lady Macbeth, dies. Macbeth had lost everything and everyone who was important to him. He is alone and alienated. Despite his lonliness and shame, he still has a conscience. Enduring the strength he has, he does not quit. He continuously falls back on the hopefull predictions of the witches. Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn the power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth. (Act 4, Sc.1) He deeply relies on this apparition, which makes him feel invinsible, until he soon finds out that Macduff was not technically born of woman. Macduff was from his mothers womb untimely ripped. (Act 5, Sc.6) For now Macbeth could be easily defeated. From this he is paying for his sins and regreat. Even when the last prop of life is removed, he fights. He decides he will not play the suicidal Roman fool. So, he does fight bravely and heroically. His wounds were to the front ,theredore he was not killed running away from death. He was killed fighting. Tragedy fell only upon Macbeth because of his inner most yearnings, to be king. However, he would not have been considered a tragic hero without his admiration, flaw and redemption. These are all parts of the long downfall in which he endured. His life became tragic just to be king. Even when he received his wish he was not happy. He had too much guilt and regret to continue. His life was no longer worth living. So, he fought to the bitter end and died bravery.

tickle Paper The survey was designed to provide an overview of the sectors training needs in the area of Information and Communication Technology, while recognizing that staff in particular roles would have different and perhaps more specialised training demands in this area. Such a detailed training analysis would allow College Staff Development Officers an overview of the training necessary and would allow the two Scottish JISC RSCs, in co-operation with SDAS (the Staff Development Advisory Service), to plan training courses in the short to medium term which would meet the needs of FE staff. It was carried out primarily during the week 25th-29th of June 2001, though the completion time was extended at the request of some of the Colleges and the final date for returns was 31st August. It was designed to be completed entirely online and to take no more than ten The survey, which can be found on the web at http://www.rsc-ne-scotland.ac.uk/tna/, had a common format but was designed to sample respon ses among four distinct staff groupings who were each offered a variant of the standard questionnaire: Technical Networking Personnel The survey was designed to capture a range of yes/no and multiple choice responses,as well as free text observations. All free text answers used in the report are presented unedited, exactly as written. The final return of 13.4% of the target population (based on staffing return data, FTE headcount 1998-9 supplied by SFEFC), while low, does represent a significant proportion of the staff in the sector and will give accurate pointers to the training requirements of Colleges, and of the specific cohorts of staff analysed. However, to some degree the sample will inevitably be self-selecting, reflecting those staff in the Colleges who have access to, skills in and familiarity with online
