Business Ethics and Stakeholder Management
For your SLP this session you will be asked to review articles on business ethics from the Trident Online Library. You will review one or more articles each in Modules 1 through 4 dealing with different ethical concepts.
In this SLP we will be reviewing articles that cover the concept of stakeholder management. Stakeholders are important to consider in significant business related decisions. This is because organizational decisions – especially substantial decisions involving significant resource allocations/re-allocations – tend to impact various stakeholder groups as you will be reminded in your reading. These stakeholders may have the power to impact the organization’s success.
Assignment Instructions:
In this assignment you will be asked to apply stakeholder management theory to the following scenario:
A public corporation of 980 employees manufactures a popular brand of garments (mostly jeans) that are primarily made and sold in America nation-wide. It has a large contingent of employees in several small rural communities in the Eastern US and is the primary employer in all of those communities. Two if its 5 shops are unionized but the union and management have a good working relationship. The company has traditionally marketed its clothing line as “Made in the USA” and attracted a bit of a “cult like” following as a result, but an outside consulting firm has suggested that significantly greater profits are possible if a different strategy is employed. The corporation is subsequently considering whether to off-shore its manufacturing facilities to a poor nation to save money on labor. It would also discretely discontinue its “Made in the USA” marketing ads and hopefully ride the wave of its previous marketing campaigns for a while. It is estimated that total cost per unit of production will be decreased by one third which equates to tens of millions of dollars.
Please write a 3-page paper in which you respond to the following:
1. Provide a paragraph summarizing the concept of stakeholder management based on your readings.
2. How do you think the following stakeholder groups in the above scenario will be impacted?
• Employees/unions
• Communities
• Stockholders
3. What would you recommend the employer described above should do?
SLP Assignment Expectations
Your 3 (or more) page paper should be double-spaced and in 12-point type.
Your paper should have a separate cover page and if you are using any in-text citations then a separate reference page.
Use APA style, and proofread your paper.

Module 1 – Background
THE HISTORY OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND STAKEHOLDER THEORY IN AMERICA
The Evolution of Business Ethics
One thing nice about this course is that you will find your background reading page rather short… but there will still be a respectable amount of reading to do. The reason for this is because will be using a text book for your case assignments. Well, it’s actually more of a narrative of the history of Lockheed Martin’s (LM) ethics program than an actual text book.
The first part of the text provides a general history of the company and also provides the setting for the creation of the company’s ethics program. Military contractors like LM tend to find themselves in the unique position of manufacturing weapons of war which they sell for a profit. But those weapons also provide a military superiority that helps to protect our troops in the field.
With this said, please read pages 1-48 for this module of the following book in our e-library.

For your SLP assignment you will be asked to spend some time reviewing an article on stakeholder management. Stakeholder management is foundational to the practice of business ethics. This is because typically when a company player does something unethical, stakeholders are the ones impacted. As always, some stakeholders may benefit and others may lose, but stakeholders will always be involved. Balancing stakeholder concerns is subsequently an important aspect of ethical decision making. This article provides a good overview of stakeholder management.

Ethics

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is a historic piece of legislation impacting a wide variety of financial institutions. While many of the substantive changes included in the legislation mandates studies over the next several months and beyond by various regulatory agencies, these mandates will affect financial institutions’ financing and business decisions.
