Business Ethics Position Paper

Your task is to write a paper from one to two pages (double spaced) that analyzes one of the following business ethical issues. You choose which issue to write about; in this assignment, reflect deeply on a topic that matters to you. Each scenario represents a conflict in an organizational setting. In addition to applying ethical reasoning to your position, you must demonstrate how as a leader you would preserve the professional relationships in question and resolve the conflict. You may draw upon personal experience, current events, and research to support your views.

Option A:

At a local restaurant a prominent politician has arrived and has been seated for dinner. Several of the serving staff are upset because they disagree with the politician’s political views. Some are requesting the manager on duty speak to the politician and ask him/or her to leave. Explain what the manager should do in this situation and how they could resolve the conflict between the servers and the politician in the most ethical manner.

Option B:

A manager has received a resume from a very promising candidate for a position that needs to be filled immediately. The company’s policy is to run a credit check on all candidates. The report on the candidate revealed some trouble with debt. When the manager asked her supervisor about it, she was told to just “go with another candidate” without determining the reasons behind the bad credit report. The manager feels that this policy may be unfairly eliminating qualified candidates who may have good reasons for their financial difficulties. Explain what the manager should do in this situation and how she could resolve the conflict between her sense of justice and the company’s practices in the most ethical manner.

Option C:

A bank manager is faced with the difficult task of downsizing a department and must choose between two employees to let go. Both employees have similar performance records but the manager believes that Jill (age 30) has more potential than Jack (age 42). The manager has been told by the vice president that firing Jill would be safer since Jack’s age makes him in a “protected class” and there is a fear of litigation. Explain what the manager should do in this situation and how they could resolve the conflict between the manager and the vice president in the most ethical manner.

Establishing good ethical standards is important in healthcare organizations.

You are the finance manager in a long-term care facility that is struggling to remain solvent. The facility’s administrator has hired a consultant to work with you to increase Medicaid reimbursement. The consultant recommends that you be more “liberal” in coding the severity of residents’ needs to justify greater reimbursement. The consultant tells you, “everybody does it” and, “it’s an undetectable way to boost revenue.”

You believe this approach is somewhere between inappropriate and illegal. You know the consultant is being paid on a commission and is an old college buddy of the facility administrator. You also recognize that your facility could soon go out of business and leave you without a job.

Quality Improvement Presentation Poster

Scenario
For this assessment, you may take one of two approaches:
The first is to build upon the clinical issue that was the focus of your Change Strategy and Implementation assessment, and turn it into a full, organization- or community-wide quality improvement initiative.
The second is to identify a new issue related to a biopsychosocial (BPS) clinical issue, or a clinical issue related to one of the items from the list of conditions, diseases, and disorders presented in the Concept Map assessment. The focus should be on a community rather than on a specific patient or health care setting.
As a master’s level nurse, your specific focus is on reviewing the implications of the data relevant to the clinical issue you are trying to address. Once you research this, review the aggregate data, and understand the BPS considerations relevant to the clinical issue, you can suggest strategies for improving the quality, equitability, and safety of care around the issue. You should act as an advocate for the value and need to pursue quality improvements to leadership and executives, as well as be able to present potential projects to a wide range of colleagues and community stakeholders.
Create an abstract and a poster for a presentation to executive-level leadership of the organization, to the community, or to your colleagues that will sell them on your quality improvement plan.
Abstract Requirements
Your abstract should be 100-250 words.
It should summarize the key information in your poster.
Do not put your abstract on your poster itself; submit it as a separate document. Or, if you are using PowerPoint to help create your poster, create a new slide that is clearly labeled as your abstract.
Poster Requirements
Your poster should include the following sections:
Quality Improvement Methods.
Evidence Supporting QI Methods.
Change Strategy Foundation.
Interprofessional Team Benefits.
Overall Project Benefits.
There are templates in PowerPoint or on the Internet that can help you get a start designing your poster.
The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your presentation addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Quality Improvement Presentation Poster scoring guide and the Guiding Questions: Quality Improvement Presentation Poster [DOCX] document to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.
Propose quality improvement methods to promote continuous improvement related to a specific biopsychosocial consideration.
Evaluate specific evidence that supports the quality improvement methods proposed.
Explain how the project is grounded in successful change strategies.
Analyze the way in which interprofessional teamwork will improve the effectiveness or efficiency of the quality improvement project.
Communicate quality improvement considerations to relevant stakeholders in a way that is clear, concise, and compelling for the audience.
Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.
Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:
Assessment 3 Example [PPTX].

HL IB essay on The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

it needs to have quotes from the text The Metamorphosis and this is what I have so far:

How does the language or style of the text affect the meaning?
In the Novella “The Metamorphosis”, Franz Kafka utilizes various metaphors and symbols to illustrate how the protagonist Gregor Samsa’s transformation is actually a physical representation of alienation and dehumanization from his family and society. Gregor must learn to adapt to his new form and figure out how to still manage to do what is most important to him—go to work and provide for his family. Kafka uses the symbol of transformation to convey Gregory’s own true feelings of isolation in depth.
