Government and nonprofit leaders encounter ethical dilemmas regularly as they perform their duties. When leaders do not address ethical dilemmas appropriately, dilemmas become ethical breaches with possible dire consequences. For instance, former President Bill Clinton encountered an ethical dilemma upon meeting intern Monica Lewinsky and considering whether or not to pursue a personal relationship with her. When he decided to pursue a personal relationship with her, he committed an ethical breach. Some ethical dilemmas and breaches may be considered more subtle. Consider a seemingly minor incident such as a mayor using a city vehicle to run a personal errand or contracting family for high-paying city jobs. Understanding the full range of potential ethical dilemmas and considering the consequences of ethical breaches are the first steps to being a strong government or nonprofit leader.

 

Focus on the ethical challenges facing government leaders.

 

Identify a contemporary ethical dilemma that you heard or read about in the news confronting either a government or nonprofit leader.

 

Think about the nature and severity of the ethical dilemma and why it might be considered an ethical breach.

 

Submit 150 – 500 word response: Due by Thursday 10/15/15 a brief description of the government or nonprofit leader and the ethical dilemma he or she is confronting. Then explain the nature and severity of the ethical dilemma and why it might be considered an ethical breach. Finally, explain the actual or potential consequences of that ethical breach to the leader.

For this discussion, you will obtain information for the Marketing Mix section of your Final Project. Specifically, you will focus on your chosen HCO’s marketing opportunities and goals. To prepare for this discussion, read Chapter 9 of the course text. In addition, examine your healthcare organization’s SWOT analysis (Week Two Assignment) and the environmental analysis you conducted (initial discussion from Week Three).

Successful businesses rely on analytical data as a means to make informed decisions. Opportunity analysis provides data to marketing teams that help to define possible opportunities and encompasses multiple aspects of a given alternative prior to making final decisions. Market opportunity analysis takes into consideration the opportunities available based on the environment in which the organization currently exists such as SWOT analysis, internal and external environmental analyses, and financial conditions.

Example: Happy Valley long-term care center conducts yearly competitive analyses. Marketing teams make phone calls to competitors as a means to gather data in the areas of pricing and amenities offered. Other areas of concern include potential competitors and political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental issues.

For your initial post, access the Opportunity Assessment Worksheet and input your data regarding external and internal considerations based on your healthcare organization’s SWOT analysis (Week Two Assignment) and the environmental analysis you conducted (initial discussion from Week Three). You will attach the completed worksheet to your initial post for your peers to view. In the body of your post

• Explain why you would implement the opportunity assessment process before decisions are enacted to pursue specific marketing objectives.
• State any new opportunities that emerged based on the opportunity analysis you performed.
• Discuss any unforeseen issues that might be missed when using opportunity assessment processes such as rapidly changing technologies and short product life cycle

Assignment 1: Not All Companies Are Viewed as Equal

In the land of free trade, the public does not view all industries as equal. Do you believe that is ethical? Do you believe that some industries are unfairly targeted? Should it be consumers’ choice to partake in products that are not healthy for them, or do those companies have an ethical obligation to protect people? In this assignment, you will choose one (1) industry to write about. Possible industries to research could be tobacco, soda, alcohol, casinos, or candy companies, just to name a few.

Write a one and a half to two (1½ – 2) page paper in which you:

1. Become an advocate for either the consumer or the industry. Prepare an argument explaining the major reasons why you support either the consumer or the industry.
2. Explain the role capitalism plays in corporate decision making.
3. Discuss if you believe it is possible for a company to cater to both its best interest and that of the consumer conjointly or if one always has to prevail. Justify your response.
4. Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
5. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
   1. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
   2. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, your professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
   3. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

• Explain the value of preparing a contribution income statement.
• Describe the concept of sensitivity analysis and explain the value of applying it during any budgeting process.

• Describe strategic reasons why the company should bring printing and binding of their magazine in house.
• Describe strategic reasons for not bringing printing and binding of their magazine in house.
• Illustrate application of the five steps of strategic decision making for CVP analysis to this decision scenario.

Write a 3–5-page report in Microsoft Word format. Apply APA standards to your work.

Present your work in MS Word format. Use the following file naming convention:

Procedure 1: 1. Identify the mass of each reactant ion and the total mass of the reactants. 2. Identify the mass of each product and the total mass of the products. 3. Explain how this experiment confirms the Law of Mass Conservation. 4. Identify the precipitate and the spectator ions. (See Textbook Sections 4.2 and 4.3). Precipitate ions:Cl(aq), Ag(aq), / spectator ions: Na(aq),+ NO3 (aq) 5. If the chloride ion is usually soluble, how can solid AgCl form? Use the rules from Table 4.1 to discuss this. Problems: Using the Solubility Rules on page 143 in Table 4.1, write the balanced molecular, total ionic, and net ionic equations (including physical states) for the following: Hints: There is no such thing as an Na3+. Na is in group 1A, so you know it can only form a +1 charge. It will form 3 Na+ ions for each Na3PO4. There is a diatomic molecule Cl2. But when ionic compounds are dissolved in water, they form ions so the dissociation is to 2 Cl- from the MgCl2. 1. Na3PO4 (aq) + MgCl2 (aq) → 2. Al(CH3COO)3 (aq) + KOH (aq) →

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Determine the considerations for and process of ethical business decision making to balance corporate and social responsibilities, and address moral, economic, and legal concerns.
• Analyze selected business situations using the predominant ethical theories, such as utilitarian, Kantian, and virtue ethics to guide ethical business decision making.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in business ethics.
• Write clearly and concisely about business ethics using proper writing mechanics.

• Consider the following scenario, in which you presume you are a mental health professional: You have recently met with James and his family. As an infant, James rarely showed interest in his parents or toys. Now, at 5 years old, he does not use intelligible words to communicate with his parents. He will not tolerate being read to. He likes to watch the same recorded television program over and over. He screams loudly and begins to hit himself when the program shuts off. He quickly becomes calm when the program resumes.

  Your evaluation has determined that James meets the criteria for autism spectrum disorder. James’s parents are coming to your office tomorrow to discuss the results of your evaluation.

• Prepare a written report of what you will tell James’s parents about autism spectrum disorder. Be sure to cover the symptoms that James meets from the DSM-5 Checklist (Table 17-6).
• Discuss symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in light of normal development in the following domains: language, cognition, emotion, and social. In other words, what is noticeably abnormal in children with autism spectrum disorder versus what you might see in their same-age peers?
• Summarize the research evidence on the effectiveness of different approaches to treatment, based on your textbook reading. Include your final treatment recommendation to James’s parents.
• To close your paper, consider how you might answer if the parents ask, “How did my child end up with this disorder? What did we do wrong? Is there any hope for him?”
