Scott Bestor is an accountant for Westfield Company. Early this year, Scott made a highly favorable projection of sales and prof

its over the next 3 years for Westfield's hot-selling computer PLEX. As a result of the projections Scott presented to senior management, the company decided to expand production in this area. This decision led to dislocations of some plant personnel who were reassigned to one of the company's newer plants in another state. However, no one was fired, and in fact the company expanded its workforce slightly.Unfortunately, Scott rechecked his projection computations a few months later and found that he had made an error that would have reduced his projections substantially. Luckily, sales of PLEX have exceeded projections so far, and management is satisfied with its decision. Scott, however, is not sure what to do. Should he confess his honest mistake and jeopardize his possible promotion? He suspects that no one will catch the error because PLEX sales have exceeded his projections, and it appears that profits will materialize close to his projections.Instructionsa. Who are the stakeholders in this situation?b. Identify the ethical issues involved in this situation.c. What are the possible alternative actions for Scott? What would you do in Scott's position?Post your Initial Response by Wednesday of Week 5 and 2 follow up comments by Sunday.

Which one of the following is a way to improve the S/Q rating of branded pairs produced at a particular production facility? Avo
Tomtit [17]

Answer: Avoiding use of green/environmentally-friendly materials (which are of lower quality than superior materials)

Explanation:

The International Footwear Federation is a consumer group that issues s/q ratings for footware makers around the world.

The S/Q ratings range from 0 - 10 stars and measure everything between the quality and appearance of the footware apparel.

Footware with high quality materials that are durable rank high in the S/Q matrix and as such it is imperative that companies aiming to move higher up the S/Q scale, use high quality materials.

Avoiding the use of green/environmentally-friendly materials (which are of lower quality than superior materials) and instead using Superior materials, whilst not entirely good for the Environment, will make a shoe stronger which would increase the S/Q rating.

Lawrence Reed in his article "The Role of Incentive" states that the best way to curb pollution and misuse of resources is to?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Like the title of the article states, all economy relayed choices are the results of an incentive or disincentive a potential polluter faces. He gave the example of the Lake Erie, stating that is highly reasonable (although highly unethical) it is polluted, as it is financially efficient to simply dump garbage in the lake, rather than invest in a recycling or waste management system. He also added, that since the lake is a public good, no one will look at the pollution as a serious concern, since it isn't owned by anybody.

All of this implies that a structured, incentive system has to be created in order to curb pollution.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

valence                              

Explanation:

Valence, as per the subject of psychology, implies the inherent attraction or adverseness of an event, object or scenario, particularly regarding emotions. The word also characterises different feelings and classifies them. For instance, feelings generally referred to as "evil" have harmful valence, such as fear and anger.  

Valence can be given a number and regarded as if it had been weighed, but it is unclear how accurate a statistic is based on a subjective study. Measurement based on visual emotion findings, using the Facial Activity Coding System and micro-expressions or muscle activity identified by facial electromyography, or current functioning brain scanning will resolve the opposition.

The expectation level by the employees are lower in the high power distance countries and the work is considered to be the moral obligations whether the firm cares for the employees or not.

Perceived firm support is the scenario which is grounded instead of the policy based. So, the difference is the level of expectation through the employees.
