n 2006, Hewlett-Packard Development Company LP became embroiled in a controversy over methods used to investigate media leaks from its board. HP Chairperson Patricia Dunn could have simply asked the directors who was the source cited in the story, sought an apology and gone from there. With some direct face-to-face communication, the story would likely have ended quickly. It did not. “Not only did investigators impersonate board members, employees and journalists to obtain their phone records, but according to multiple reports, they also surveilled an HP director and a reporter for CNet Networks Inc. They sent monitoring spyware in an e-mail to that reporter by concocting a phoney tip. They even snooped on the phone records of former CEO and Chairperson Carly Fiorina, who had launched the quest to identify media sources in the first place.”   The situation continued to escalate. For example, the New York Times reported that HP consultants even considered planting clerical or custodial…

"TOXIC HISTORYHoaeb is among many former Rössing employees who complained about being exposed to radiation at the mine. The impact of mining operations on workers has haunted Rössing for decades. In 2015, the company commissioned a study through the University of Manchester to investigate if working at the Rössing mine is linked to a higher risk of developing cancer. At least 76 cases were detected. These include 32 cases of lung cancer, 18 other airway cancers, eight cases of leukaemia, nine cases of brain cancer and nine cases of kidney cancer. The study warned that employees may breathe in radioactive dust and radon gas, which can escape from the rock. The study was completed in 2019.Rio Tinto has since sold its 68% stake in the mine to Chinese state-owned China National Uranium Corporation Limited for N$1,5 billion.The study identified 7 901 people who had worked at least one year at the mine between 1976 and 2010.

In most cases the companies also did not tell employees and local residentsabout their promised social and labour plan commitments. Qestion:Critically comment on the failure in social responsibility exhibited by these mining companies and itsimplications

Case StudyCyber bullying is a unique form of bullying that continues in spite of the dire consequences that can and do occur. Cyberbullying has gained significant media attention and countless incidents of bullying continue to occur. Although may cases are reported in the news, probably as many if not more go unreported. Bullying has been defined as something that one repeatedly does or says to gain power over another person. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying eliminates the need for physical contact with others in order to make them feel inferior. Cyberbullying is “when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. Technology as an avenue for intimidation is a hot-button issue for school systems and parents alike. This is uncharted territory, and legislation does not always provide guidance and structure. The…

BJ'S SUPERMARKET CUSTOMER CONFRONTATION: Recently, Jenna, Supervisor in the Customer Services department, witnessed a squabble between a customer and one of the customer service representatives Tina who is Caucasian American. The customer Maria who is of Latin American ancestry, was attempting to return what she claimed was a defective belt sander. Maria claimed the sander caused a serious abrasion to her husband's arm, resulting in a trip to the emergency room. Tina was rude to Maria in her response and not only refused to honor the return because she claimed it was beyond the 30 day 'no questions asked' return policy, but she suggested that Maria's husband had not followed the product directions appropriately. Tina went on to ask whether Maria's husband could read English. Maria angrily responded that although she and her husband are Latino, they are US citizens and fluent in English. When Jenna overheard the conversation she walked up to the returns counter and asked Tina to assist…

BACKGROUND THE EXECUTIVE DECISION Clark Faucet Company By 1999, Clark Faucet Company had grown into the thire largest supplier of faucets for both commercial and home use. Competition was fierce. Consumers would evaluate faucets on artistic design and quality. Each faucet had to be avail- able in at least twenty-five different colors. Commercial buyers seemed more in- terested in the cost than the average consumer, who viewed the faucet as an ob- ject of art, irrespective of price. The executive council mandated that another attempt to implement good project management practices must occur quickly. Project management would be needed not only for new product development but also for specialty products and enhancements. The vice presidents for marketing and engineering reluctantly agreed to try and patch up their differences, but did not appear confident that any changes would take place. Clark Faucet Company did not spend a great deal of money advertising on the radio or on television.…

32. Hershey created a line of upscale chocolates called "Cacao Reserve by Hershey's." The company created fancy packaging, priced the product at the high end, and did little mass marketing for its new product. Initial sales were disappointingly slow even though the premium chocolate market is growing nicely, with brands like Ghirardelli faring well. As a consequence, Hershey almost immediately (within six months) dropped its prices and started mass advertising. The product ultimately flopped and was discontinued. Using concepts in this chapter, why do you think Hershey failed in its move into the premium chocolate market? Do you think the adjustments were the most appropriate, or could Hershey have taken other steps?

David Feld, founder of Today's Man, a $ 204 million retailer based in Moorestown, New Jersey, guessed that many men equated buying clothes with going to the dentist, but he didn't know why Feld paid for focus groups to uncover the truth. But he never met a focus group he trusted. Finally, Feld's advertising agency recommended he talk to a company of professional hypnotists based in New York. Feld was skeptical, but he was desperate and curious enough to commission a study focused on why men feel uncomfortable in clothing stores. "The results really shook us up," Feld reports. The comments the men made under hypnosis had the ring of authenticity he had been searching for. Hypnotized men revealed that they often hated the way their clothes fit but didn't know how to complain. "One guy told us that the last time he bought a suit, it didn't fit right-but he didn't say anything. Feld says "He then told the hypnotist how insecure and dopey he felt when he wore that suit. Further, some of the…
