Culture and Ethics

Examine the major influences that organizational culture can have on organizational ethical decision making. Be sure to make a meaningful connection between culture and ethics through either research or a personal experience in current or past organizations to which you belong(ed).

Questions 1: Consider post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It’s not just something a service member endures. Many people have some form of PTSD relating to trauma in their lives. So, be inclusive in your response by thinking of all employees, as well as returning service members. Remember that people are more willing to tell you they have a physical disability but may be reluctant to tell you they have a mental disability.

• Develop an outline to educate your management team to recognize returning service members who may be showing signs of PTSD.
• Identify the steps that could be taken to help all employees, including the service members transitioning back into the workforce

Question 2: Go to the Newsroom on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) website and review cases regarding diversity. In the search box under Browse through Press Releases from EEOC, type “diversity” and review three of the results from your search.

• Propose three ways that an organization can increase employee diversity.
  • Take a position on the importance of diversity and explain how your proposed methods for increasing diversity support your position.

This module consists of Chapter 9 from both books, the corresponding Discussion Board postings, plus Case Study 4 and Exercise 4. Make sure to complete all before going on to Module 7.

Case 4#

The case investigates SAP’s need to change within the IT industry, to come up with a new strategy and business design. This new strategy would fundamentally change SAP’s existing business design, i.e., the totality of how SAP would define its coverage, value propositions and offerings; penetrate the selected markets; and configure its resources to develop its products. Would this strategy and business design work? What difficulties would SAP anticipate? What benefits would there be with this new approach? From your observation of what SAP has previously done, and using IT Enterprise Architecture techniques, outline a new technology, innovation or process that SAP could be adding in today’s IT marketplace. Please answer all question with specifics and stay away from generalities.
