/in /by

Read Consider: What’s in a Name of an Ethics Code? in Chapter 9 (look below), then answer these following questions from the text:

  • How does the title of a company’s ethics document affect your attitude about the content? Is one title more attractive than another?
  • What is the overall message that the title of the code of conduct conveys? Does it reflect the purpose of the document to provide employee guidance on expected conduct?
  • Propose creative titles for ethics codes for a pharmaceutical company and a restaurant. (Gonzalez-Padron, 2015).
  • Look for two other company ethics documents and share the titles of their ethics documents (consider your own organization or one that you are familiar with for this question).

(Consider: What’s in a Name of an Ethics Professional?

A review of the ECOA member listing shows some of the titles that may be used for ethics professionals:

    • Chief compliance officer
    • Chief ethics and compliance officer
    • Chief ethics officer
    • Chief risk, compliance and ethics officer
    • Vice president, corporate responsibility
    • Vice president, global compliance and ethics
    • Director of business conduct
    • Director of integrity, security and compliance
    • Director, corporate compliance and ethics
    • Director, ethics and integrity programs
    • Director, ethics and regulatory compliance
    • Senior manager, ethics and non-financial corporate policies and procedures
    • Senior manager, global ethics and compliance
    • Senior vice president, global [corporate social responsibility] and risk management
    • Manager, business integrity and compliance
    • Manager, ethics and employee issues

Questions to Consider

    1. Why does the ethics function vary among organizations? What company factors would lead to the wording of the ethics function?
    1. Which titles reflect a focus on compliance only? Which titles reflect a focus on ethics?
  1. Does a title provide sufficient authority to oversee an organization’s ethics program? Does the title of the ethics professional indicate a level of autonomy in addressing ethical issues?

LASA – Project Planning – Developing the Project Plan and Determining Critical Path

    1. Using the District4WarehouseMove WBS.xls provided, create a project plan for the District 4 Warehouse Move project. Use the PDF document, Project Plan Check – District4Move, to check your work to be sure you have created your starting project plan correctly. ProjectLibre is required for this task. If you have not yet downloaded ProjectLibre, please click here and follow the directions to do so now.

      Note: you will need to insert a column to include your WBS codes, then you will need to sequence the tasks to show tasks by work package.

 

    1. Based upon the details in the WBS and the project case, determine which tasks need to be completed first and which tasks are dependent upon other tasks to be completed prior to starting. Using this information identify predecessors in your project plan’s predecessor column. Complete the predecessor column by entering the line number of tasks that must be completed in order for each task to start. This will create your project timeline.

 

  1. Using ProjectLibre’s Network or flow diagram view, determine the critical path for this project. In a MS Word document, list the activities that are on the critical path. Considering the risks identified in the risk table below, identify which risks would be most likely to increase your project timeline. Justify your responses.
  2. Submit both your completed project plan and your MS Word document.
