I need a post for each learning activity. APA format. Attached is the diagram for Learning Activity #2 and Chapter 1 to use for references. I will also include this link that can be used for resources as well. (https://insights.ethisphere.com/culture-the-key-to-corporate-governance/). I am pretty sure this is the citation for the CHAPTER 1 DOC, (The Business Ethics Workshop (2012) Washington, DC: The Saylor Foundation). I need each post to be roughly 3 paragraphs or more.
Learning Activity #1
Ethics: A Personal Perspective
How we perceive ethical issues and how we expect others to act is in many respects a reflection of our personal views. Considering the importance of our internal views of ethics, think about the following scenario:
You have been recently hired in the human resources department at the company you have always dreamed of working for. At the end of your first day, your manager, I. M. DeBoss, on her way out of the office says to you: “So Mr./Ms. Jones, what things come to mind when you think of the word “ethics”? Before you can answer, she asks you if you believe ethics are important for a company, and if so, why do you feel that way? Not letting up, because she is DeBoss, she then tells you that she once had a conversation with someone who mentioned that ethics might be a reflection of the culture of a business, but she has no idea what this means. She asks if you could help her understand the connection between ethics and a company’s culture.
Just as you are about to respond to her, she says “I am sorry Mr./Ms. Jones I really have to run, but I want to continue our conversation tomorrow.” You are relieved because you will have a night to ponder her questions and wow her with your responses tomorrow. How would you respond to your manager? Be certain to include in your response for Ms. DeBoss a definition of business ethics.
Learning Activity #2
Stakeholders: Neglect At Your Peril
Using the diagram from “The Firm’s Stakeholders” resource for the week, choose and discuss the three stakeholders you consider the most important for a business. In your response, discuss why you believe the chosen three are the most important, how does the business cultivate its relationship with the stakeholders selected, and to what extent is a business’s ethical culture reflected in its relationship with the stakeholders selected. Be sure to include a definition of stakeholders in your response.
