Something Rotten in Hondo

Something Rotten in Hondo

Introduction

George had left El Paso, Texas and has moved to Honda, with his family four years ago to take the lead Ardnak Plastic Inc. The plant produces plastic pieces for small tools and has several hundred employees from the Honda town. For months, George has received calls from his boss, Bill, and those emissions from factory stacks were consistently above the guidelines for the protection of the environment, and if not addressed immediately, will be paying fines. George admitted that this was a constant problem, but without the battery washers, which company headquarters has deprived of, he ran out of ideas. George went on to solve this dilemma, he began making phone calls to some other plants of Ardnak and found that they are designed for mass production at night to avoid the periodic readings of environmental emissions.

Stakeholders and their Interests

The Stakeholder is an organization or person affected by the actions of a company. They might have indirect or direct interest in the company and might be in touch with the company on an everyday basis (Stieb, 2009). In other words, in this case the stake holders are George, family of George, the Hondo town, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), every person who is affected by the pollution of the plants, the Mexico town where the plant will be positioned and the environment.

Interest rates generally include the common areas and particular objects s that motivate people in a variety of ways. Interests are the underlying vulnerabilities and opportunities that give people a "stake" in what the results are mostly survival needs and requirements for life. In this case the interests of the stake holders are the implementation of the plant this interest is for George, another interest that the family of the George would get in the form of heavy amount of cash after the implementation of the plant. The people of the town will also be beneficiaries once the implementation of the plant would be done successfully.

Ethical and Legal Analysis

As the George continued its consideration of this dilemma, he started giving phone calls to other plants of Ardnak and found they plan their mass production at night to avoid the periodic readings of emissions from the EPA. A month later, George is still concerned about what he should do, as he had received one more phone call from the Bill stating his disapproval. Bill told George that manufacturing jobs were difficult to acquire, and if he could not find the solution to this problem then this company would have to move from15 miles south of the Hondo to city of Mexico, as not any Environmental Protection Agency is there. This transfer will result in enormous redundancy and will keep on polluting the air the air. A great ethical issue is faced by the George. The issue is that whether he should carry out the production in the night time to avoid the higher readings of emission of Environmental Protection Agency or he should transfer ...
