1. CA executives
involved in the accounting scandal were not accused of reporting bogus
contracts or hiding major problems in the business. The contracts that were
backdated were real sales agreements. Was this really a crime? Should the
individuals have been punished so harshly?
Based on the acts that
CA executives involved it is definitely a crime, it was started if Honeycutt
will not take the offer that is given and the Computer Associates executives will
be harm CSC and for all reason it was proven guilty. Being involved in this
offense it is indeed to do punishment for all individuals that was been
involved in this crime.
2. In December 2004,
CA appointed Patrick J. Gnazzo as senior chief compliance officer to
demonstrate to the government and shareholders that the firm would take
measures to operate ethically. Gnazzo served in this role at United
Technologies for 10 years and had been a member of the board of directors of
the Ethics Officers Association. Gnazzo reported to a new executive vice
president and general counsel at CA as well as the board’s Compliance
Committee. Outline some of the actions Gnazzo might have taken in his first six
months on the job.
Patrick J. Gnazzo were
appointed as senior chief compliance officer during his first six months of
work, he must be a good example as a worker for their company as being in a
right way of an ethical procedures that must company wanted. Gnazzo checks CA’s
performance also government and shareholders which ended to do lot of actions
in his jobs.
3. John Swainson,
a 26-year veteran of IBM, joined CA in November 2004 as CEO and president. His
first few months with the firm were rough—major customers threatened to dump
the firm; some products were behind schedule and were of poor quality;
executives had to be fired for breaking company rules; accountants continued to
find past mistakes; and many newly hired executives had to be brought on board.
What sort of leadership could he have demonstrated to show that he was
determined to avoid future scandals at CA?
Swainson must charged
his advocacy to the company as a CEO and president he must protect the CA to
avoid another mistakes and future scandals and demonstrate as a leadership for the company like way
back when CA’s was in a right govern.
4. CA has been hit
with numerous scandals since the late 1990s. These scandals raise questions
about how successful the firm might have been if not for the amount of time its
executives had to spend on these distractions. Compare the revenue growth and
stock price of CA to that of some of its competitors over the time period
2004–2008. (Be sure to use CA’s
corrected figures!) Can you detect any impact of these scandals on CA’s performance? What else might explain the difference in performance?
corrected figures!) Can you detect any impact of these scandals on CA’s performance? What else might explain the difference in performance?
As being mention based
on the previous question, there is a huge impact of the scandals that CA’s been
involved, it will affect the numerous problems of the company encountered,
these sort of situation will might be the cause of the company for being closed
permanently, by this situations those executives of the board might explain
every scenario that has been performed in regards to the company matter.
2. Dell Inc. Merely Tough on Suppliers or a
Bully?
1. Identify at
least two other companies that mange their suppliers in a manner similar to
Dell computers. do these companies have anything in common with Dell?
I
think the Avon and Herballife companies similar to Dell because they are also
selling products directly to the customers.
2.
Can you Identify any disadvantages for dell in taking the approach to managing
suppliers?
·
Have to pay supplier
first before getting paid from customers,
3. Do
you think that this approach to managing suppliers is
unethical, or is it acceptable and ethical? explain your reasoning.
Yes it is an ethical because they only want to
do business to the people, Dell company emphasis on direct sales and as a rule
they committed they do not allow returns on orders from re-sellers of provide
price protection on market prices and also offered for the re-sellers to have their
incentive promotions up to 20 percent discount from the advertised prices.
4.
Would you recommend any changes to the way Dell manages
suppliers? Defend your position.
I’ll better recommend for more understanding to their suppliers, dealers, workers and customers for much improvement of their company.
3. Is There a Place
for Ethics In IT?
1. Discuss how a CIO
might handle Schrage's Scenarios using the suggested process for ethical
decision making presented in this chapter.
CIO
might handle schrage’s scenacios by handling them how to make and suggest right
decisions making ethically. It is a good example for every employees to do
oriented in part of their ethics when providing each decisions, by the regards
to the business to be develop and sustain the parallel process of meeting the
standards of the company.
2. Discuss the
possible short-term losses and long-term gains in implementing ethical
solutions for each of Schrage's scenarios.
In
having the short-term losses failed the standards of quality that the company
have. This may cause in a serious part of most common company problems have
this may loss a part of the profit and a part of ethically issues encountered,
but if the worst scenario might be change, then this will be the part of a
business will be grow much respect to the ethical values of the people involved
and it will gain much for the company profit.
3. Must businesses
choose between good ethics and financial benefits? explain your answer using
Schrage's scenarios as example.
By
choosing this between good ethics and financial benefits make help to evolve
every trials that may have in having a good ethics which help as what you have
and financial benefits as help towards you up.
This
two part of example will manage every characteristic of certain business individuals
have.
