2) My analysis from an ethical standpoint when looking at the AMA guidelines I would say that we have to recall these signs because they are false. It’s false advertisement. AMA guidelines when they mention ethical values honesty is the first one and it jumps off the page. It says “to be forthright in dealing with customers and stakeholders. To this end we will strive to be truthful in all situations and at all times”. Just reading that right there the signs should be recalled. The next big thing is responsibility. The AMA guidelines also talks about this as well. They say “responsibility- to accept the consequences of our marketing decisions and strategies”. So with analyzing the AMA guidelines and the mistake we have made I we say …show more content…
With stores like these many people are in and out everyday so we would be reaching a large audience with many different age ranges. We can also sell online with Target’s, Best Buy’s, and Walmart’s websites. In addition, to those websites we can also sell on amazon. We could also sell in stores like Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Apple. Those being big name brands and thousands of people shopping in those stores everyday looking to by new phones could want a new booth tooth speaker to play their music. Also with these stores when they by a new phone they could get a speaker for half off. Even thought that is more promotional that would be the benefit of selling in those stores. Some factors that I look into consideration and why would should sell in these stores is one all the different thousands of people that come in and out of those store everyday. In addition, these stores are country wide and some even world wide so there is so much room for expansion in not only into different regions of the US but different …show more content…
The introduction stage is when a new product is made and it is lunched into its new market. Some problems that people face in this stage is people don’t know what the product is or they don’t know what it does. So most of the money in this stage is spent on explaining to people what they product does. In the growth stage the market is starting to like and accept the product and sales start to grow. Problems that people run into hear is the sceptics people who don’t believe in the product or don’t see a need for it. So to solve the problem is showing and convincing these people of the need and why it will help them and make their life easier. The maturity stage is when people know of the product and what it does. In this stage this is when sales will reach its peak. Some problems in this stage is up and coming products that are similar to yours and could do more then your product and offers more of a need. So to solve that problem innovate your product. Don’t get complacent at where you are with the product keep evolving the product and keep making better and more appeling. Then there is the decline stage. In this stage the product had become old something better has been created or come a long. This is when sales start to fall. To solve this problem is creating a new product or make server changes to the existing product that makes it better then the

closing the stores they could have done community outreach or service projects to help lower the rate of crime. They could have led the establishment of a neighborhood crime watch. They could have set up a mentorship program for teens at risk. There are a multitude of programs they could have implemented, some could probably have been used as a tax write off. If all of these efforts failed then I understand closing the stores. If they had to close the stores they should have made every effort to be sure that the displaced employees were able to find a job in another store or assisted them in being placed in another job. They also need to make every attempt to keep the building they were using occupied or cleaned up until it is occupied. How do these actions contribute to being socially responsible? It shows they care about their community, that even though they may have to shut down a store, they still
Ethics and moral obligations are issues we all encounter at one time or another. In the professional setting, all people should act in a manner that would uphold the good of society. To be ethical, one has to determine their obligations, moral ideas, and moral philosophy (Boatright, p. 19, 2009). The case analysis involving Jacob Franklin was a perfect example of how an individual can face the dilemma of doing what is right or wrong. Businesses have their own code of ethics, and the employees within the business have to determine whether or not they will follow the company’s code of conduct. I will discuss several ethical issues in the case analysis including; failure to report information, remaining silent regarding faulty equipment,

Webster’s Dictionary defines ethics as “a set of moral principles: a theory or system of moral values.” (Merriam-Webster, Incorporated, 2011). Every person has ethics that he or she lives by, but sometimes in the business world many unethical business transactions occur. People do not realize that sometimes the statistics that he or she are fed have been falsified in order to get him or her to purchase a product or lure him or her in to participate in via false promises.
an action can't be right if the people who are made happy by it are outnumbered by the people who are made unhappy by it.
Three general principles will guide the move towards sustainability. Firms and industries must become more efficient in using natural resources; they should model their entire production process on biological processes; and they should emphasize the production of services rather than products. Versions of the first principle, sometimes called eco- efficiency, have long been a part of the environmental movement. "Doing more with less" has
They start out using utilitarian ethics when they introduced the pacemaker to the world to help people who was having heart problems or a heart condition where the heart would stop and people was dying so the pacemaker was the fix to that problem.
Walmart serves customers and members more than 200 million times per week at more than 9,826 retail units under 60 different banners in 28 countries. With their fiscal year 2010 sales of $405 billion, Walmart employs 2.1 million associates worldwide. Walmart was founded in 1962 by Sam Walton, with the opening of the first Walmart discount store in Rogers, Ark. The company incorporated as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., on Oct. 31, 1969. The company's shares began trading on OTC markets in 1970 and were listed on the New York Stock Exchange two years later. In this term paper I will be discussing the different ethical questions that arise about Walmart and some of the ethical concerns that people have about

Describe an ethical problem you have encountered or might encounter in your workplace. How would you approach the problem and reach a decision to solve it?
Ethical dilemmas are virtually impossible to avoid if you are a participant in the workforce. The definition of an ethical dilemma stands as a situation that challenges two or more “right” values that arise in a conflict (Treviño & Nelson, 2014). As ethical persons, how may we overcome ethical dilemmas and finish on the “right” side? The research mentioned in Trevino’s and Nelson’s book, “Managing Business Ethics: Straight Talk About How to Do It Right,” suggests that preparing for specific ethical challenges before a situation occurs can adequately prepare the workforce to better handle real-world applications when an ethical situation transpires. The notion that ethics is teachable inspires the following case analysis. The case analysis involving chemical safety will discuss the facts and issues, stakeholders, decision alternatives, and real-work constraints. Focusing on each of the previously mentioned topics, I will describe the applications using Utilitarian, Kantian Ethics, and Rawlsian Justice Analysis’s.
If a company is introducing a brand new product, it is in the introductory stage. The company needs to carefully consider how it will be introduced into the market, how it will be priced, how it will be promoted, and how it will be placed. After being introduced, the company's product might be one of a kind, but after a short time, similar products are being introduced. This is what is called the growth phase. If a company's product is one of many similar products, it has entered the maturity phase. This phase is a dangerous time for many products since it is in this phase that many products are swallowed up by competitors. If a company notices that sales are dropping despite marketing changes, their product may be in the decline phase.
This case study was a powerful example to illustrate the presence of ethics within the
