ORGANIZATIONAL ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Introduction

This simulation presents the QC manager with lab results illustrating 100% contamination of product tested. Some of these samples are from product already on the market and in the hands of consumers. With this knowledge, the issue is whether or not to warn and what information to provide to consumers about the containment of the tainted product . The rights/responsibility lens allows the QC manager to determine G- Bio Sport has a duty to ensure ingredient labels provide accurate information, to refund or replace defective product, and to warn consumers of potential dangers. The results lens provides a method for the QC manager to determine which action represents the greatest good for the greatest number involved. After the QC manager reviews the facts and analysis available, a decision is made. G-Bio Sport distributes information about the risks of harm from the tainted product and offers replacement or refund. This allows the consumer to make an informed decision and gives the company a means to rectify the problem. This option best reflects the core values of G-Bio Sport and its stakeholders while not compromising the ethics of the QC. (Schminke, 2000)

The company can always refund the money but the better option would be to plan a strategy that utilizes luxury to its customers. Here the customers must be satisfied by recalling the best goods that were available in my opinion.

In this simulation the business ethics as an academic discipline usually involves one or more of the following topics: the study of moral principles applicable to business and economic life, the study and critique of the values actually dominant in the economy in general and in each of organizations, the analysis of actual cases that illustrate the responsibility of the organizations and their various constituents, the development of voluntary or regulatory bodies standardized management procedures based on ethical principles and values, monitoring and description of importing these codes and procedures in specific organizations and observing their effects on the organizations themselves and their environment.
