Paradise Case

Most individuals would view paradise as a beautiful, peaceful, restful and fulfilling island. Paradise to most people would be a place where they would choose to go and take a pleasant vacation. A great imagery of paradise would be land that is surrounded by sky blue waters, tropical fish and palm trees.

Two weeks after receiving my degree I was offered a job as assistant to the senior director of strategy development. One of the perks for me was that the job requires me to do some travelling in remote and abstract locations. The first location that I must travel to is the island of Kava. Kava is located in the South Pacific.

Fifty percent of the population is under the age of fifteen. There are also some language barriers within the island.

Many internal and external forces are involved in the decision to establish a manufacturing plant on the island of Kava. Some of these internal forces include organizational process, ethical issues along with human resource issues. It is important to establish these issues. When dealing with a global organization ethical conflicts can cause a downfall among stakeholders. Ethical issues can be caused because of the diversified nature of huge companies along with outsourcing. Ethical issues not only affect stakeholders but they affect, customers, the community and employees as well.

Mangers must be able to think of strategic strategies that are going to result in the company profiting within the organization. Managers must be able to maintain honest and accurate business practices. Multifaceted regulations characterize the limits of ethical and criminal behavior in global organizations.
