The Coca-Cola Company has a long history of innovation and development. The company was founded in 1886 by a recipe concoction created by pharmacist John S. Pemberton (Coca-Cola, n.d.). The beverage enjoyed moderate success until Pemberton passed away, and several businessmen worked to ensure the trademark drink would become a world famous flavor. In the early 1900s the product expanded rapidly from its roots in the southeastern United States across the country, and the cause of all of this growth can be traced back to successful leadership in terms of management and innovation.

According to the Wharton research, when an executive is overconfident and thinks that his organization is just facing the bad luck otherwise it is in best concern of all stakeholders. These stakeholders include customers, shareholders, management, creditors, and employees. The executive to cover up the problem takes short routes that do not allow the executive to understand the poor performance of the organization as a future threat. An overconfident manager does not consider the flaws and search for gray areas to manage earnings that led them to fraudulent behavior (Wharton, 2008).

Introduction - Director’s duties

Even though the law recognizes corporations as separate and distinct entities from the owners, it nevertheless recognizes that corporations act through people. Such people are referred to as directors and manage the activities of a corporation. In Lennard’s Carrying Co. v. Asiatic Petroleum Co. Ltd, the court observed that directors are the directing mind and will of the company. Accordingly, directors of a company act for and behalf of the company, and as such owe several duties to the company.
These duties are at common law and also statutorily provided for. In the U.S., there is no single statute ...

Baker Hughes’ state of internal control

Corporate risk taking and monitoring remains the most crucial factor of consideration by the boards of directors, the media, and legislators because they contribute to the financial stability of a corporation.

In addition, a corporation should maintain an effective internal control in order to allow a customized system of governance. Baker Hughes has a rigorous corporate governance system. Its program requires all the staff members to comply with the rules and regulations, in addition to company’s core values of integrity, performance, and teamwork. Baker Hughes ...

1. One of the essential actions that seems to be unethical and that leads the employees to involve in unethical behavior is the decision of CEO who allows himself to be influenced by Dale, an experienced person. Dale suggests that the appointment of an ombudsman and delay of the training related to the new open-door policy until the completion of the existing HR programs.

Problem Statement

Sofna College offers international education for children of expatriates. As such, Sofna College's vision and mission should be geared to more culturally diverse curriculum and engagement. Given current case, school's early operation phase appears to cater, effectively, for needs of children of diplomats while during mission's stint. The expansion in next decades, particularly during 1950's, 1960's and 1970's, appears to further confirm school's success as regional hub of international education as enrolments increased and campuses expanded. By 1980's up to present day, Sofna College appears to be losing strategic direction by focusing, almost exclusively, on expanding campuses. Specifically, by ...

QUESTION ONE

Why agency problem exists in corporations
Agency problem still exists in corporations because of the nature of companies. Corporations are legally separate entities from their shareholders. Thus, shareholders do not directly participate in running the affairs of corporations. In most corporations, there are so many shareholders that they cannot all participate in management. Instead, they employ executives or managers to manage the company on their behalf. Managers and shareholders have different interests thus leading to the agency problem. Executives may not always act in the best interest of shareholders.

Question 1

In designing a new system for corporate governance, one must consider the principles of integrity, fairness and equity that business advances an ethical business practice towards shareholders and stakeholders (GC-11, 2008). In this sense, the shareholder-centric system, with the unitary board and non-executive directors that oversight the control answers the criteria of fairness towards shareholder, as it is comprised of both members of the companies and of unaffiliated corporations, which met separately to assure righteous oversight (CG-11, 2008). The stakeholder centric system with non-shareholder controlling owners assured a separated oversight from management through its two-tier board, which raises criticism ...

Tidal Community Bank is a perfect example of a company embroiled in conflicts attributed to differing opinions on the best growth strategy to adopt.

They are all determined to force through their proposal, and none is willing to give a thought to any opposing views.

Description of Issue:

The main point of concern in the current case is that Marla Gilson, a former president and CEO of the Association of Jewish Aging Services of North America (AJAS), was fired because of disability discrimination (she suddenly found herself being sick for leukemia). On returning from the second round of chemotherapy, she asked AJAS for permission to carry out her managerial activity from home for six months until she would finally recover. She had been notified that she was fired instead (Shin, 2011).
A decision of the board seems to be neither logical nor well-grounded since Gilson was hired ...

Abstract

The question on the moral issues surrounding companies and their decision makers has been there for a long time. This has become even more critical given companies’ ever-increasing urge to outdo their competitors. It has consequently, led to the development of decision-making models that incorporate ethical values to describe processes that decision makers should follow when dealing with issues containing ethical dimensions. That, therefore, creates and maintains a corporate culture that is ethics-oriented. Many problems and solutions have been attributed to the corporate practices that constitute an organization’s culture. That definitely makes it an important determinant of the ...

This is often called as the ethical paradoxes in moral philosophy and is more often than not brought into play in attempting to refute a particular ethical system or moral code (“What is an Ethical Dilemma,” 2012). Also, morals are of significant in the Criminal Justice ...
