According to the theory of Gilligan, if Anika would be in the first stage i.e. the preconventional stage, then she would have decided to accept Darius’s proposal. In the first stage of Gilligan’s theory, the primary goal of a person is individual survival that means the person would try to survive himself from any case of confusion. As we can see in Anika’s case, her friend Hope also had a crush on Darius, and she was in confusion whether to choose her friend or the proposal of Darius.

Management

Human behaviour is intrinsic to say the least and certain unintentional actions by a person can reveal the state of that person. Human behaviour is influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics, authority, rapport and so on. A person can become aggressive when he or she is faced with an unsettling situation, and their aggressiveness need not necessarily be in the form of physical or vocal outbursts. It can be in the form of non-cooperation, or by showing signs of anxiety and restlessness. Elizabeth Hutchinson (2011), in Dimensions of Human Behavior, looks at certain theories that can be applied to ...

Question 1. Why should Starbucks, Kraft, and Nestle create "ethical supply chains”?

The concept of ethical supply chain has grown more and more popular in the recent years. Ethical in this case should not be confused with legally right, since ethical considerations go far beyond legislation or business relations. Ethical behaviour is usually linked to social responsibility of the companies, which is embedded into their strategy and operations. In businesses related to the global sourcing of inputs, ethical behaviour largely depends on the fair trade concepts, which promote supporting suppliers in the poor countries in order to improve their productivity and enhance competitiveness (Barrar, and Gervais). Since supply chain is in ...

This information is useful for the organisation in the strategic planning and policy formulation. However, it should be noted that competitive ...

(A Reflection, by Name)

The primary message of the authors is that a disparity exists between the number of consumers vouching for ethical products and the number of consumers actually buying them. The authors conclude that ethical concerns rank only second while making a purchase decision and the product’s economic properties are consumer’s priority. But, the authors also highlight the existence of a niche segment of consumers, who purchase products with ethical merits and it is only a matter of time that more and more consumers will follow the league. This offers scope for future marketing activities.

The message is primarily ...

1. Type of consumer buying decision
The buying decisions, which characterize purchases at Ethel’s can be best described by limited decision making (Lamb, Hair & McDaniel, 2011). The reason for such categorisation lies in the characteristics of the consumers behaviour, when buyers are making a purchase. Firstly, most of the Ethel’s customers are already familiar with the taste of chocolate, however, they may not be aware of the Ethel’s chocolate brand. Secondly, although consumers feel involved with a particular chocolate brand or experience, it is highly unlikely that they will put extra effort in searching further information on ...

Integrity

Integrity

This is an ethical, legal and integrity question that needs to be interrogated in the best way possible. To start with, the name-calling in the workplace is uncalled for. It not only demoralizes the person who is being called the name, but it also creates a tense atmosphere since workmates are not respectful to one another. The officer in question is being referred to as “a rat” just because he testified against a person who committed a criminal offence. It was good of him to testify and ensure that justice was met because the hallmark of criminal law is to ensure ...

Chapter 4
The BCOS factors are comprehensive, but I think they encourage paternalistic thinking on the part of the marketers, which may alienate the audience. The audience’s perception of the costs, benefits, others and self-efficacy potential varies according to highly personal factors that often come into play at the market segmentation/product positioning/targeting stages (e.g. socialization, culture, and values). Effectively, I believe more concern for cognitive/affective dimensions of how the audience conceptualizes the BCOS factors for greater effectiveness in creating “mutually beneficial want-satisfying products”. I recently read about the Chinese dog meat festival, which has cultural and other ...

In sociology, control theory enlightens a person’s social bonds in relation to his or her behaviour. Similarly, the investigators using control theory aims to establish conformity causes as opposed to what causes the deviance.

Management & Organizational Behavior

Resistance is usually characterized by an opposition to the generally acceptable formats, which result in a change of organizational status quo.

The blame for the resistance to any change is usually put solely on the change recipients. People in this case are considered reluctant to accept any alterations in the organization, and therefore they hardly ever support changes. However, the contribution of the ...
