Assignment

What kind of organization would you like to work for? What would be the best? What would be most realistic? Think about its structure, physical environment, lines of communication, treatment of employees, recruitment and promotion practices, policy towards the community, and so on. Consider also, however, what you lose because of some of the benefits (for example, if a company contributes financially to the community or offers more benefits for employees, there might be less money for raises). 200 word

This assignment provides you with an opportunity to summarize ethics in financial responsibilities and to evaluate ethical considerations of executive compensation by drafting a reflection paper. Write a 500-word paper by addressing the following questions:

1. Do you think executive compensation in its various parts (i.e., salary, stock options, severance packages) funded at the current levels is unethical? If so, how would you revise the compensation so that it was just? On what basis would you change it? Does the government have a role to play? If so, in what manner?

2. Is the Sarbanes-Oxley Act too strict, not strict enough, or just right? Explain.

Your paper should be at least 500 words in length, be double-spaced, and contain Times New Roman, 12-point font.
