As an up-and-coming middle manager, you have been tasked with conducting a presentation on organizational integrity and social responsibility at an upcoming middle and senior management retreat. Knowing that you have just completed this course, this is your opportunity to shine. However, your company has had its share of issues with problematic products and services. You want to promote ethical practices but not at the expense of pointing fingers at your own organization. You instead decide to use course concepts through an example of other companies' unethical practices to identify potential issues and promote ethical integrity within your own organization.
You decide to use Intel as the example company within your presentation at the retreat. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation in which you validate the key flaws in Intel's five-point plan. In your presentation, be certain to address the following important concepts:
- Ethical integrity and why it is important;
- The role of ethics in business;
- The advantages of corporate social responsibility;
- Ethics and company culture; and
- Employees, technology and ethical responsibilities.
- Then, include brief examples of three additional companies who fell prey to the same types of pressures - thus illustrating how Intel is clearly not alone.
- Conclude with a list of general actions for an organization so as to avoid the decision-making pitfalls to which Intel and others had succumbed.
