  • WorldCom Collapse

    $15.00

    The telecommunications company WorldCom collapsed and filed bankruptcy in 2002. Worldcom had engaged in fraudulent practices for some time before the collapse.  The scandal this brought to corporate boards and regulators led to a serious distrust of corporations on the part of large and small investors alike.  The financial disaster this brought onto individual and professional investors was chaotic, often crippling and led to major legislation to produce more responsible corporations and add trust back into the skittish market.

    Write a paper describing the WorldCom collapse, perceived culpability and regulatory reaction to the events.

    College level writing and formatting in MLA style is expected.  Citations and annotated bibliography are needed.

    Each entry in the annotated bibliography should have a single sentence addressing each of the following regarding the source:

    1. Write a single, short sentence summarizing the resource.
    2. What is the primary focus/idea found in the source?
    3. Why was the more source important to your understanding than other sources?
    4. Does the item represent mainstream, extremist or balanced perspective?
    5. Why is this source credible?

  • The Employment-At-Will Doctrine Case Study

    $25.00

    Imagine you are a recently-hired Chief Operating Officer (COO) in a midsize company preparing for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). You quickly discover multiple personnel problems that require your immediate attention.

    1. John posted a rant on his Facebook page in which he criticized the company’s most important customer.

    3. Bill has been using his company-issued BlackBerry to run his own business on the side.
    4. After being disciplined for criticizing a customer in an email (sent from his personal email account on a company computer), Joe threatens to sue the company for invasion of privacy.
    5. One of the department supervisors requests your approval to fire his secretary for insubordination. Since the secretary has always received glowing reviews, you call her into your office and determine that she has refused to prepare false expense reports for her boss.
    6. Anna’s boss refused to sign her leave request for jury duty and now wants to fire her for being absent without permission.

    As an astute manager, you will need to analyze the employment-at-will doctrine and determine what, if any, exceptions and liabilities exist before taking any action. As you proceed with your investigation, you discover the company has no whistle blower policy.

    b. The primary action(s) that you should take to limit liability and impact on operations;specify the ethical theory that best supports your decision.

    2. Examine your state’s policy on employment-at-will. Analyze at least one (1) real-world example of an employee or employer utilizing your state’s employment-at-will doctrine in the last five (5)years. Include a summary of the main issue and the outcome in the identified real-world example.

  • Discrimination of Walmart

    $2.50

    Theworld’s largest retailerWal-Mart Stores Inc. was suedby women for gender discrimination.The women claimed that the company is not following the policies of equal pay and equal opportunities for women. As according toJim Kaster of Minneapolis-based Nichols Kaster PLLP, a lawyer for the plaintiffs claimed in a statement announcing the filling that“Women at Wal-Martwas told by management that women deserved less pay and fewer promotions than men because men had families to support.”

    There were more cases which were filed by the women at different stores of Wal-Mart.Almost 1.5 million current and former women worker filed the case of discrimination against the Wal-Mart. But Supreme Court blocked the nation’ s largest ever sex discrimination case plea ruling in favor of Wal-Mart because the majority of the court found ‘no convincing proof’ againstacompany wide pay and promotion policy.Court’s conservatives defined that women were not able to prove that they had suffered from the common policy of discrimination.

    There were the different opinions of the lawyers in favor and against the women. As according to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and other court’s liberal were in favor to give more chance to the women to prove their case. While some had suggested that there were ample evidence that there were some problem at Wal-Mart like where and when the cases were filed, women held 70 % of the hourly jobs but they were made up only 33 % of management employees.

    But finally, it became the history and a victory for Wal-Mart because the company won the case. In fact, it was the victory not only for Wal- Mart, but for all those private businesses too that do the business inthe United Sates.But there is no doubt that it was really very sad for the millions of women who filed the case against the largest private company Wal-Mart. It enhanced the frustration of Americans with a notion that some corporations are too big to fail.
