Have you ever thought about opening a small business of your own?2. What kinds of small businesses would you like to open?3. Suppose you own a small business, what will you do if you need to hire talents rapidly?Section B ReadingsSection ALead-inManaging Fast Growth in Small BusinessesDonna FuscaldoThe dream of every small business is to grow and grow fast. If the growth happens over a short period of time, managing the growth can be a challenge. Whether it is hiring at a rapid pace or finding office space, a key to success during a time of explosive growth is flexibility.“One of the first lessons we realized very quickly is not to be afraid to shift the business model,” says Brian Curry, vice president at YouSendIt, headquartered in the Campbell, California. The company sends large digital documents for companies. It started out with 15 employees and today it has 185 and is growing.YouSendIt began by offering its service for free and relied on advertising to make money. Instead of forging ahead with the planned strategy, it listened to customers who did not want advertisements associated with the documents they were sending and switched to a subscription model, turning the entire business plan on its head1. “We had faith that our customers would need a high level of service and upgrade to the premium offer,” says Curry.According to Curry, one of the key factors for its success has been its focus on doing one thing well and becoming the leader in that market, which in YouSendIt’s case is the FedEx for digital documents. YouSendIt focused hard on achieving that and today it works with 193 companies and supports 30 million unique users. Curry says managing the fast growth would not be possible if it did not invest in its growth instead of worrying about the bottom line2. “We had to create a service that stands up to all the rigors of millions of files being sent,” says Curry. “Profit is important but it’s not going to do any good if we’re the most efficient No. 5 in our category.”For many small businesses that are not a household name, hiring talent at a rapid pace can be tough, especially when it could mean the difference between success and failure3.For , the San Jose, California Internet company that lets people search retailers for in stock items and was acquired by Ebay last year, a big challenge early on was hiring key employees. “People are the raw ingredient in technology and building a great product,” says Jack Abraham, founder and Chief Executive of . “We spent a lot of time focusing on hiring, especially in a competitive environment.”Instead of settling for leftovers, , which went from zero users to a million monthly users in the space of a year, opted to cast a wide net and look outside the local area for talent. The company hired a lot of people from the east coast who wanted to work with a Silicon Valley start-up. Milo also created an environment that built loyalty and offered a trial period so that the job candidates and Milo. com could test each other out.For small businesses on a tight budget, using freelancers is another hiring tactic. Envato, the Australian based marketplace for digital goods used freelancers early on and still does today. “When you are growing fast you often end up short staffed,” says Collis Ta’eed, the founder and Chief Executive of Envato. “Since start-ups aren’t sure early on what positions will be short term and whichwill be permanent, using freelancers gives a business more flexibility, which is important during times of growth.”4 he says.Once Envato was ready to hire permanent positions, Ta’eed says the company resisted the temptation to get the process over with quickly knowing the importance of hiring the right employees. “When your hiring everything slows down but once you get over the hump it’s much better and worth it,” he says.When small companies get big, they often expand the number of managers, creating a level of bureaucracy5 that if it goes unchecked could slow down innovation and thus growth. Sure it’s necessary to hire more people to handle more customers, but doing it without creating road blocks to decision making is key. “We created a culture where we try to push decision making down,” says Zack Urlocker, Chief Operating Officer at Zendesk, the San Francisco-based online helpdesk company that grew from 20 employees to 85 in a year. “That’s often a challenge for small companies where early on everybody knows everything that’s going on. We want to have engineers making great decisions and sales people making great decisions.” (734 words)explosive /ɪk'spləusɪv/adj.increasing suddenly or q uickly in amount or number爆炸性的;易爆炸的shift /ʃɪft/v.if someone’s opinions, beliefs etc shift, they change转移或转换某事物;(使某事物/某人/自己)改变位置或方向digital /'dɪdʒɪtl/ing a system in which information is recorded or sent outelectronically in the form of numbers, usually ones and z eros数字的subscription /səb'skrɪpʃən/n.an amount of money you pay, usually once a year, to receivecopies of a newspaper or maga z ine, or receive a service, or theact of paying money for this订阅;订阅费upgrade /ʌp'greɪd/v.to improve something and make it more modern, especially inorder to provide a better service提高某人/某事物的级别或等级premium /'priːmiəm/adj.n.of very high q uality高品质的an ancount of money that you pay once or regularly for an insurance policy保险费invest /ɪn'vest/v.to buy shares, property, or goods because you hope that thevalue will increase and you can make a profit投资;为某任务付出(时间﹑精力等)(尤指涉及承诺或自我牺牲的)rigor /'rɪgə/n.specially BrE the problems and difficulties of a situation(气候、条件等的)严酷;艰苦category /'kætɪgəri/n.class or group of things in a complete system of grouping 种类;类别leftover /'leftəuvə/n.something from an earlier time that still remains, even though itis not really useful or important any more 残余物;剩余物freelancer /friːlancer/n.Someone who does freelance work自由职业者permanent /'pəːmənənt/adj.continuing to exist for a long time or for all the time in the future长期的;永久的;永恒的resist /rɪ'zɪst/v.to stop yourself from having something that you like very muchor doing something that you want to do 经得住;对抗hump /hʌmp/n.the most difficult part of something 最艰难的阶段或最困难的部分bureaucracy /bjuə'rɔkrəsi/n. a complicated official system which is annoying or confusingbecause it has a lot of rules, processes etc 官僚制度;官僚体制headquarter in to place in or establish as headquarters in some places 总部位于forge ahead to make progress, especially quickly(工作、事业等)向前发展trial period a period of time during which someone or something is tested试用期Notes1.

CHAPTER 1 -MANAGING IN TURBULENT TIMESONLINE LECTUREMelvin Wilson, a mid-level marketing manager for Mississippi Power suddenly found himself responsible for coordinating the feeding, housing, and health care of 11,000 repair workers from around the country in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The utility company’s corporate headquarters and disaster response center were both destroyed by the hurricane, and early recovery work had to be done without access to computers, phones, or basic sanitary facilities. Amazingly, Mississippi Power restored power in just 12 days. The tale of how they did it is one of the great crisis management stories of modern times, and a lesson for managers in how much can be accomplished quickly when it’s managed right.I.MANAGER’S CHALLENGEIn today’s turbulent world, managing in times of crisis and confusion is becoming a critical skill for managers in all kinds of organizations. The frequency and intensity of crises have increased over the past couple of decades, with a sharp increase in the rate of intentional acts such as product tampering, workplace violence, and terrorism.The shift toward new ways of working, enabled by technology, p uts additional demands on today’s managers. Making a difference as a manager today and tomorrow requires integrating solid, tried-and-true management skills with innovative approaches that emphasize the human touch, enhance flexibility, and engage employe es’ hearts and minds as well as their bodies.II.THE DEFINITION OF MANAGEMENTManagement is the attainment of organizational goals in an effective and efficient manner through planning, organizing, leading, and controlling organizational resources. There are two important ideas in this definition:The attainment of organizational goals in an efficient and effective manner; andThe four functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.Some theorists also list staffing, communicating, or decision-making as functions of management, but this text covers these functions as subsets of the four primary functions listed above.III.THE FOUR MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONSA.Planning1.Planning is the management function concerned with defining goals for future organizationalperformance and deciding on the tasks and resources needed to attain them. It defineswhere the organization wants to be in the future and how to get there.anizinganizing is the management function concerned with assigning tasks, grouping tasks intodepartments, and allocating resources to departments. Organizing follows planning andreflects how the organization tries to accomplish the plan.C.Leading1.Leading is the management function that involves the use of influence to motivate employeesto achieve the organization’s goals. It involves motivating entire departments and divisionsas well as those individuals working immediately with the manager.D.Controlling1.Controlling is the management function concerned with monitoring emplo yees’ activities,keeping the organization on track toward its goals, and making corrections as needed.Trends toward employment and trust of employees have led many companies to place lessemphasis on top-down control and more emphasis on training employees to monitor andcorrect themselves.ANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCEAn organization is a social entity that is goal directed and deliberately structured. Social entity means two or more people. Goal directed means the organization is designed to achieve some outcome or goal such as make a profit. Deliberately structured means tasks are divided and responsibility for their performance is assigned to organization members.The manager’s responsibility is to coordinate resources in an effective and efficien t manner to accomplish the organization’s anizational effectiveness is the degree to which the organization achieves a stated goal, or succeeds in accomplishing what it tries to do. Organizational efficiency refers to the amount of resources used to achieve an organizational goal. It is based on the how much raw materials, money, and people are necessary for producing a given volume of output.The ultimate responsibility of managers is to achieve high performance, which is the organization’s a bility to attain its goals by using resources in an efficient and effective manner.V.MANAGEMENT SKILLSA.Conceptual Skills1.Conceptual skill is the cognitive ability to see the organization as a whole and therelationships among its parts. It involves the manager’s thinking, information processing, andplanning abilities, and means the ability to think strategically—to take the broad, long-termview.2.Conceptual skill is especially important for top managers.B.Human Skills1.Human skill is the manager’s ab ility to work with and through other people and to workeffectively as a group member. It is demonstrated in the way a manager motivates,facilitates, coordinates, leads, communicates, and resolves conflicts. As globalization,workforce diversity, uncertainty, and societal turbulence increase, human skills become evenmore crucial.2.Human skill is important for managers at all levels, and particularly those who work withemployees directly on a daily basis.C.Technical Skills1.Technical skill is the understanding of and proficiency in the performance of specific tasks.This includes mastery of the methods, techniques, and equipment involved in specificfunctions such as engineering, manufacturing, or finance. Technical skill also includesspecialized knowledge, analytical ability, and competent use of tools and techniques to solveproblems in that specific discipline.2.Technical skill is most important at lower organizational levels and become less important thanhuman and conceptual skills as managers are promoted.D.When Skills Fail1.During turbulent times, managers must use all their skills and competencies to benefit theorganization and its stakeholders.2.Many companies falter because managers fail to listen to customers, misinterpret signals fromthe market, or can’t build a cohesive team and execute a strategic plan.3.Perhaps t he biggest blunder is the managers’ failure to co mprehend and adapt to the rapidpace of change in the world around them. A related problem is top managers who create aclimate of fear so that people are afraid to tell the truth; bad news gets hidden and marketsignals are missed.4.Other management missteps include poor communication and failure to listen, treating peopleas instruments, suppressing dissent, and the inability to build a management teamcharacterized by mutual trust and respect.VI.MANAGEMENT TYPESA.Vertical Differences1.Top managers are at the top of the organizational hierarchy and are responsible for the entireorganization, with titles such as president, chairperson, executive director, CEO, and executive vice president. They are concerned with long-range planning. Responsibilities of top managers include:a.setting organizational goals;b.defining strategies for achieving them;c.monitoring and interpreting the external environment;d.making decisions that affect the entire organization;municating a shared vision for the organization;f.shaping corporate culture; andg.nurturing an entrepreneurial spirit.2.Middle managers work at the middle levels of the organization and are responsible forbusiness units and major departments, with titles such as department head, division head, manager of quality control, and director of the research lab. They are concerned with near-future planning. Responsibilities of middle managers center on implementing strategies and policies defined by top managers.a.Research shows that middle managers play a critical role in facilitating change andenabling organizations to respond in rapid shifts in the environment.b.Successful middle managers are constructively critical of the status quo, have a significantpersonal power, are versatile, and rate high in emotional intelligence.3.Project managers are responsible for temporary work projects that involve the participation ofpeople from various functions and levels of the organization, and perhaps from outside the company as well.4.First-line managers are at the first or second management level and are directly responsiblefor the production of goods and services, with titles such as supervisor, line manager, section chief, and office manager. Their focus in on accomplishing day-to-day objectives.Responsibilities of first-line managers include:a.applying rules and procedures to achieve efficient production;b.providing technical assistance; andc.motivating subordinates.B.Horizontal Differences1.Horizontal differences in management jobs occur across the organization in the differentfunctional areas such as advertising, sales, finance, human resources, manufacturing, andaccounting.2.Functional managers are responsible for departments that perform a single functional taskand have employees with similar training and skills.a.Line managers are responsible for employees who make or provide a product or service.b.Staff managers are in charge of departments such as finance and personnel that supportline departments.3.General managers are responsible for several departments that perform different functions. VII.WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A MANAGER?A.Making the Leap: Becoming a New Manager1.Becoming a manager involves a profound transformation in the way people think ofthemselves, called personal identity, that includes letting go of deeply held attitudes andlearning new ways of thinking. Specific aspects of this transformation include changing one’sidentity:a.from a specialist who performs specific tasks to a generalist who coordinates diversetasks;b.from doing things oneself to getting things done through others;c.from an individual actor to a network builder; andd.from working relatively independently to working in a highly interdependent manner.B.Manager Activities1.Most new managers are unprepared for the variety of activities managers routinely perform.a.Managerial activity is characterized by variety, fragmentation, and brevity. The averagetime spent on any one activity is less than nine minutes, and managers must be able toshift gears quickly. Managers perform a great deal of work at an unrelenting pace,requiring great energy.C.Manager Roles1. A role is a set of expectations for a manager’s behavior. Managers’ activities can beorganized into ten roles. The ten roles are divided into three categories: informational,interpersonal, and decisional.rmational roles include the functions used to maintain and develop an information network.a.The monitor role involves seeking current information from many sources.b.The disseminator role is the opposite of the monitor role. In the disseminator role, themanager transmits information to others, both inside and outside the organization.c.The spokesperson role pertains to making official statements to people outside theorganization about company policies, actions, or plans.3.Interpersonal roles refer to relationships with others and are related to human skills.a.The figurehead role involves the handling of ceremonial and symbolic functions for theorganization.b.The leader role is the relationship with subordinates including motivation, communication,and influence.c.The liaison role is the development of information sources both inside and outside theorganizations.4.Decisional roles come into play when managers must make choices. These roles oftenrequire both conceptual and human skills.a.The entrepreneur role involves the initiation of change. Managers seek ways to solveproblems or improve operations.b.The disturbance handler role involves resolving conflict among subordinates, betweenmanagers, or between departments.c.The resource allocator role pertains to allocating resources in order to attain desiredoutcomes.d.The negotiator role involves formal negotiations and bargaining to attain outcomes for themanager’s unit of responsibility.VIII.MANAGING IN SMALL BUSINESSES AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONSSmall companies have difficulty developing the managerial dexterity needed to survive in a turbulent environment.Small business managers tend to emphasize different roles from those emphasized by managers in large corporations. They see their most important role as that of spokesperson in promoting their business to the outside world. The entrepreneur role is also critical.Nonprofit organizations represent a major application of management talent. The functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling apply just as in other organizations. Managers in nonprofit organizations direct their efforts toward generating some kind of social impact.Financial resources for nonprofit organizations typically come from government appropriations, grants, and donations rather than from the sale of products or services to customers.The spokesperson role is heavily emphasized in nonprofit organizations to “sells” the organization, similarly to small businesses, except that in nonprofit organizations the goal is to increase awareness of the organization’s mission, increase the scope of its impact, and ge nerate additional resources rather than to increase the consumer base.IX.MANAGEMENT AND THE NEW WORKPLACEThe old workplace was characterized by routine, specialized tasks, and standardized control procedures. The organization was coordinated through the vertical hierarchy, with decision-making authority residing almost exclusively in upper-level managers.Rapid environmental shifts are causing fundamental transformations that have a dramatic impact on the manager’s job, creating a new workplace organized around information and ideas rather than machines and physical assets.Low-cost computing power means that ideas, documents, movies, and data can be spread around the world at the speed of light. Work is free-flowing and flexible. The shift is most obvious in e-commerce and high-tech communications, which must respond to changing markets and competition at a moment’s notice. Knowledge is widely shared. The workplace is organized around networks rather than rigid hierarchies, and work is often virtual, with managers supervising people who never “come to work” in the traditional sense.The valued worker is one who learns quickly, shares knowledge, and is comfortable with risk, change, and ambiguity.A.Forces on Organizations1.The most striking change now affecting organizations and management is technology. TheInternet is transforming the way business is done.a.Many organizations use digital networking technologies to tie together employees andcompany partners in far-flung operations.b.The Internet and other new technologies are also tied closely to globalization.c.Global interconnections bring many opportunities but also threats, new risks, and increasedcomplexity and competitiveness (e.g. outsourcing to low-cost providers).2.Diversity of the workforce has become a fact of life for all organizations.B.The Innovative Response1.In the face of these rapid transformations, organizations are learning to value change,innovation, and speed over stability and efficiency.a.Increasing consumer access to information requires companies to provide increasinglybetter products and services to remain competitive.b.Intense competition from globalization spurs companies to keep pace with newtechnologies and management practices.C.New Management Competencies1.Managers must rethink their approach to organizing, directing, and motivating employees.a.Today’s best managers give up their command-and-control mindset to focus on coachingand providing guidance, creating organizations that are fast, flexible, innovative, andrelationship oriented.2.Leadership is dispersed throughout the organization, and managers empower others to gainthe benefit of their ideas and creativity3.Success in the new workplace depends on the strength and quality of collaborativerelationships, and managers realize the importance of staying connected to employees and customers.4.Team-building skills are crucial for today’s managers.5.An important management challenge is to build a learning organization by creating anorganizational climate that values experimentation and risk-taking, applies current technology, tolerates mistakes and failure, and rewards nontraditional thinking and knowledge sharing.D.Turbulent Times: Managing Crises And Unexpected Events1.Dealing with the unexpected has always been part of the manager’s job, but our world hasbecome so fast, interconnected, and complex that unexpected events happen more frequently and often with greater and more painful consequences. Some of the most recent thinking on crisis management suggests the importance of five leadership skills.a.Stay calm. A leader’s emotions are contagious, so leaders have to be calm, focused, andoptimistic about the future.b.Be visible. When the situation seems ambiguous and frightening, people need to feel thatsomeone is in control.c.Put people before business. The companies that weather a crisis best are those in whichthe managers make people and human feelings their top priority.d.Tell the truth. Managers should get as much information from as many sources as theycan, do their best to determine the facts, and then be open and straightforward about whatis happening.e.Know when to get back to business. Managers should first deal with the physical andemotional needs of people, but then they need to get back to business as soon as possible.。

CHAPTER 5 - ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYONLINE LECTUREI.MANAGER’S CHALLENGEThomas Heath of JPMorgan, and Eric Corrigan and Thomas Chen of Bank of America didn’t think they were doing anything unusual. Heath revealed inside information Corrigan and Chen in strict confidence, and they, assuming it was just part of the way all bankers do business, used the information to secure a deal an edge for Bank of America in a pending merger deal that had not yet been publicly announced. Corrigan and Chen were fired by Bank of America, and Heath was in trouble at JPMorgan.The situation at Bank of America illustrates how difficult ethical issues can be and symbolizes the growing importance of discussing ethics and social responsibility. Managers often face situations in which it is difficult to determine what is right. Bank of America is not alone in taking a stronger stand against ethical lapses that would once have been consid ered “the standard way of doing business.” Corporations are rushing to adopt stringent codes of ethics, strengthen ethical and legal safeguards, and develop socially responsible policies. A number of companies have begun tying managers’ pay to ethical fa ctors such as how well they treat employees or how effectively they live up to stated corporate values.II.WHAT IS MANAGERIAL ETHICS?Ethics is the code of moral principles and values that govern the behaviors of a person or group with respect to what is right or wrong. Ethics sets standards as to what is good or bad in conduct and decision making. Ethics deals with internal values that are a part of corporate culture and shape decisions concerning social responsibility with respect to the external environment. Human behavior falls into three categories.∙Codified law. Values and standards are written into the legal system and are enforceable in the courts. Lawmakers have ruled that people and corporations must behave in a certain way such as obtaining licenses for cars or paying taxes.∙Free choice. Free choice pertains to behavior about which law has no say and for which an individual or organization enjoys complete freedom.∙Ethics. Ethics lies between the domains of codified law and free choice. It has no specific laws, but does have standards of conduct that are based on shared principles and values about moral conduct that guide an individual or company. Because ethical standards are not codified, disagreements and dilemmas about proper behavior often occur.An ethical dilemma arises in a situation concerning right or wrong when values are in conflict and right and wrong cannot be clearly defined. The individual who must make an ethical choice in an organization is the moral agent.III.CRITERIA FOR ETHICAL DECISION MAKINGManagers faced with tough ethical choices often benefit from a normative strategy based on norms and values to guide their decision making. Normative ethics is based on norms and values. Four normative approaches describe values for guiding ethical decision making.A.Utilitarian Approach1.The utilitarian approach holds that moral behavior produces the greatest good for thegreatest number. The decision maker is expected to consider the effect of each decisionalternative on all parties and select the one that will optimize satisfaction for the greatestnumber of people.B.Individualism Approach1.The individualism approach contends that acts are moral when they promote the individual’sbest long-term interests. Individualism is believed to lead to honesty and integrity becausethat works best in the long run. Because individualism is easily misinterpreted to supportimmediate self-gain, it is not popular in the highly organized and group-oriented society oftoday.C.Moral-Rights Approach1.The moral-rights approach asserts that human beings have fundamental rights that cannotbe taken away by an individual’s decision.An ethically correct decision is one that bestmaintains the rights of those people affected by it. Six moral rights should be consideredduring decision making.a.The right of free consent. Individuals are to be treated only as they knowingly and freelyconsent to be treated.b.The right to privacy. Individuals can choose to do as they please away from work andhave control of information about their private life.c.The right of freedom of conscience. Individuals may refrain from carrying out any orderthat violates their moral or religious norms.d.The right of free speech. Individuals may criticize truthfully the ethics or legality ofactions of others.e.The right to due process. Individuals have a right to an impartial hearing and fairtreatment.f.The right to life and safety. Individuals have a right to live without endangerment orviolation of their health and safety.D.Justice Approach1.The justice approach holds that moral decisions must be based on standards of equity,fairness, and impartiality. Three types of justice are of concern to managers.a.Distributive justice requires that different treatment of people not be based on arbitrarycharacteristics. Men and women should not receive different salaries if they areperforming the same job; however, people who differ in a substantive way can be treateddifferently.b.Procedural justice requires that rules be administered fairly. Rules should be clearlystated and be consistently and impartially enforced.pensatory justice argues that the party responsible should compensate individualsfor the cost of their injuries. Individuals should not be held responsible for matters overwhich they have no control.IV.FACTORS AFFECTING ETHICAL CHOICESEthical or unethical business practices usually reflect the values, attitudes, beliefs, and behavior patterns of the organizational culture. Ethics is as much an organizational issue as a personal issue.A.The Manager1.The manager brings specific personality and behavioral traits to the job. Personal needs,family influence, and religious background all shape a manager’s value system.2.Personality characteristics, such as ego strength, self-confidence, and a strong sense ofindependence may enable managers to make ethical decisions. The manager’s level orstage of moral development is an important personal trait in making ethical decisions.a.Preconventional level. At this level a manager is concerned with external rewards andpunishment and obeys authority to avoid detrimental personal consequences. Thesemanagers are likely to be autocratic or coercive.b.Conventional level. At this level managers learn to conform to expectations of goodbehavior as defined by colleagues, friends, family, and society. These managers areinterested in interpersonal relationships and cooperation.c.Postconventional level (also called principled level). At this level individuals develop aninternal set of standards and values and will disobey rules or laws that violate theseprinciples. Internal values are more important than expectations of significant others.These managers typically use a transformative or servant leadership style.3.The great majority of managers operate at the conventional level. A few managers have notadvanced beyond the preconventional level. Only about 20 percent of American adultsreach the principled level of moral development.4.Women may, in general, make moral decisions based not on a set of absolute rights andwrongs but on principles of not causing harm to others.B.The Organization1.Values adopted within the organization are very important considering that most managersoperate at the conventional level of moral development. Most believe their duty is to fulfill theobligations and expectations of others.2.Social networks in organizations play an important role in guiding people’s actions. T henorms and values of the team, department, or organization have a profound influence onethical behavior.3.Other aspects of the organization that impact on ethical values and manager decision makinginclude:a.explicit rules and policies;b.the reward system;c.the extent to which the company cares about its employees;d.the selection system;e.emphasis on legal and professional standards; andf.leadership and decision processes.V.WHAT IS SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?Social responsibility means distinguishing right from wrong. It means being a good corporate citizen. Corporate social responsibility is management’s obligation to make choices and take actions that will contribute to the welfare and interests of society as well as the organization. Social responsibility can be a difficult concept to grasp because people have different beliefs as to which actions improve society’s welfare. Social responsibility covers a wide range of issues that are ambiguous with regard to what is right or wrong.ANIZATIONAL STAKEHOLDERSEnlightened organizations view the internal and external environment as having a variety of stakeholders.A stakeholder is any group within or outside the organization that has a stake in the organization’s performance. Each stakeholder has a different criterion of responsiveness because it has a different interest in the organization.The organization’s performance affects stakeholders. Socially responsible organizations try to pay attention to all stakeholders who are affected by their actions.Stakeholders can also have a tremendous effect on the organization’s performance and success. Today, special interest groups continue to be one of the largest stakeholder concerns that companies face. Environmental responsibility has become a primary issue as both business and the public acknowledge the damage that has been done to our natural environment.VII.THE ETHIC OF SUSTAINABILITY AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENTEnvironmental issues have become a major topic among business leaders, and managers and organizations in all industries have jumped on the environmental bandwagon. One model uses the phraseshades of green, ranging from light green (least committed) to dark green (most committed) to evaluate a company’s commitment to environmental responsibili ty.∙The lightest green shade represents a legal approach in which a company does only what is necessary to satisfy legal requirements.∙The next darker shade, the market approach, represents a growing awareness of and sensitivity to environmental concerns, primarily to satisfy customers.∙The next darker shade, the stakeholder approach, means that companies attempt to answer the environmental concerns of various stakeholder groups, such as customers or business partners.∙The darkest green shade represents the activist approach in which companies actively search for ways to conserve the Earth’s resources.Sustainability refers to economic development that generates wealth and meets the needs of the current generation while saving the environment so future generations can meet their needs.VIII.EVALUATING CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYA.Economic Responsibilities1.The first criterion of social responsibility is economic responsibility. The business institutionis the basic economic unit of society. Its responsibility is to produce the goods andservices that society wants and to maximize profits for its owners and shareholders.2.Economic responsibility carried to extreme is called the profit-maximizing view, advocated byNobel economist Milton Friedman. This view argues that the corporation’s sole mission isto increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules. This approach means thateconomic benefit is the only social responsibility and can lead companies into trouble.B.Legal Responsibilities1.Legal responsibility defines what society deems important with respect to appropriatecorporate behavior. Businesses are expected to fulfill their economic goals within the law.Legal requirements are imposed by local governments, state legislators, and federalregulatory agencies.C.Ethical Responsibilities1.Ethical responsibility includes behaviors that are not necessarily codified into law and maynot serve the firm’s direct eco nomic interests. To be ethical, decision makers should actwith equity, fairness, and impartiality, respect the rights of individuals, and treat individualsdifferently only when relevant to the organization’s goals.Unethical behavior occurs whendecisions enable an individual or company to gain at the expense of society.D.Discretionary ResponsibilitiesDiscretionary responsibility is voluntary and guided by a company’s desire to make social contributions not mandated by economics, law, or ethics. Discretionary activities include philanthropic contributions that offer no direct financial payback to the company and are not expected. Discretionary responsibility is the highest criterion of social responsibility.IX.MANAGING COMPANY ETHICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYA.Ethical Individuals1.Managers who are essentially ethical individuals make up the first of three pillars of ethics thatsupport an ethical organization. These individuals possess honesty and integrity, which isreflected in their behavior and decisions. People inside and outside the organization trustthem because they can be relied upon to be ethical in their dealings with others.2.Ethical managers also encourage the moral development of others.
