1c. Inspite of Indian having an ancient culture and philosophy about worklife, we in India have not yet managed to develop our own management styles in consonance with our own cultural ethos and have been systematically importing management systems and styles from foreign countries.
Raj (2009) states:
Inspite of Indian having an ancient culture and philosophy about worklife, we in India have not yet managed to develop our own management styles in consonance with our own cultural ethos and have been systematically importing management systems and styles from foreign countries. (p. 23)
1d. Raj (2009) claims that social environment makes people interdependent. Individuals in a group rely on each other to get what they want. Dependency in this case means that people seek for assistance of others as they are not able to achieve what they need on their own. Independency on the other hand does not require people to rely on others. Interdependency indicates that individuals are both relied upon and rely on others. This can help to achieve the synergetic effect (p. 129).

2c. Making good decisions in business involves understanding how arguments provide or fail to provide reasons for choosing one course of action over another, or instituting one policy over another.
According to Dwyer (2008), “Making good decisions in business involves understanding how arguments provide or fail to provide reasons for choosing one course of action over another, or instituting one policy over another” (p. 58).
2d. Dwyer (2008) states that in any case an employee can face the situation of conflict between the duties on the workplace and duties outside it. There are some common cases, such as the lack of time spent with the family resulted from the work requirements. Though there is no universal way to resolve the conflict, but it helps to understand its systemic character. The resolution of this issue can be useful for an individual as it provides with the ability to define personal goals and set professional demands (p. 18).

2b. Without some understanding of the complexity of the moral decision-making process, viewing and discussing these films will not achieve these objectives because they do not necessarily demonstrate why the action taken was morally right or wrong.
