Ethnics in action




    The ethical dilemma was either to do the right thing such as following the law or get involved in a group of politicians with power and have financial success.


    Wealth and power can be a good thing about committing this act, but just like somebody said on the article, “The truth will ultimately prevail.” Disadvantage of this act obviously can lead to prison and failure with people’s disrespect since he was famous in India.


    In my opinion, Mr. Jayaswal had Utilitarian view. Not only he wanted to have profits by himself, he also wanted his company to succeed so that he can help others. I think he thought his decision was right because his decision or behavior can do the greatest good for the most people. As you can see on the article, there were people who did not want to reveal their names because of Mr.Jayswal help.

  With the current situation, corruption in India will not decrease. When politicians have too many powers, they will only figure out how to live a better life within themselves. Many people will face decisions either to do the right thing or advocate politicians to grab their attentions with success. Many people will face ethical dilemmas just like Mr. Jayaswal. In my opinion, most of the people will choose to support politicians in order for them to survive and support their families. In a situation like this, the government should gather strong people or make a request to other countries to help them fight corruption. I don’t think there is not much of a choice.

Zara International

Zara International shows many elements of classical management approaches. First, Zara International employs 200 creative professionals to help keep up with the latest fashion. Second, setting their location such as New York’s Fifth Avenue and many other major cities. Third, twice a week Zara’s finished garments are shipped to logistical centers and they simultaneously distribute products to stores worldwide which means that they have strong distribution Channels.. Fredrick Taylor's scientific management is evident in the aspect of Zara’s quick turnaround of runways to stores. Fredrick Taylor emphasized about work efficiency. In my opinion, Zara International also emphasizes in work efficiency because everything is fast with efficiency. Zara International uses operational management through Inditex (Industria de Diseno Textil). Inditex can have garments in American stores by 24hours and European stores by 48hours. System, concepts, and the notion of contingency thinking explain the success of Zara International. Zara uses tried-and-true strategy for entering new markets through Inditex to cut the unnecessary expense that with this method they can always adapt to the market. Also as I mentioned above, they are so efficient with communicating throughout the systems with their technology. Their concepts of bringing higher fashion to lower income shoppers are fantastic. According to New York Times, Zara is still doing very well. The article is about the fashion of Zara’s product and how fast their trend changes. Inditex is still providing Zara worthy management since Zara is the first Inditex’s chain to break ground in new countries. In my opinion, even though Zara international is doing well, they should put little more effort on their advertisements. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/29/fashion/at-zara-in-midtown-its-all-a-tribute.html
