Abstract
This paper discusses the response to the request for ethics information in relation to advertising, and the following considerations that should be noted prior to the interview meeting that is scheduled for the president and CEO. The first point the paper discusses is how the virtue theory contends that each individual within society has a moral and ethical obligation to not harm others in the social order. Virtue by nature is part of the character of the individual and must guide the person to act in a benevolent manner toward others.This benevolence is based on the concepts of virtue, wisdom, courage, temperance and justice. The paper further discusses how within the theory of virtue there is the consideration that all adults within society are responsible for teaching ethics to young children so that they will inevitably act in a virtuous manner within the social order.

Abstract
This paper discusses how current ethics policies are the outcome of years of debates as to what should define morality and fair and appropriate behavior. Nowadays, most institutions in the fields of economy, politics, medicine and law guide their activities by a set of morals rules concentrated in their internal code of ethics. To better understand the concept of ethic policies, this paper analyzes the code of ethics of three major organizations from the same industrial sector, electronic engineering. The companies are Microsoft, Nokia and Intel.
Outline:
Memo of Transmittal

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Aside from the previously mentioned policies, the Intel ethic code also contains reference to intellectual property, gratuities, reciprocity, publicity, small and minority suppliers, controlled substances, environment, health and safety. The intellectual property right protection policy states the fact that Intel completely respects the rights of all business partners, suppliers and competitor companies. However, the publicity policy mentions that business partners are denied the right to sell their own products by associating them with Intel products. "

From the Paper
"Seneca College, as most education institutions, is in a constant state of technology upgrades. These upgrades in terms of software and hardware have not been implemented consistently organization wide as a result of need and the prohibitive cost to undertake such a venture. As a result, there presently are multiple software packages in use many of which are not current. As a result, college employees have varying degrees of knowledge and ability to use the range of existing software. Furthermore, employees have varying levels of expertise in writing."

Two arguments will be used to support my recommendations. The first argument deals with the benefits to international trade that will result from the legalization of opium and the harm the prohibition has had on trade. Opium has a long history as a trade good not only in China but in many of the lands that we trade with. Opium is a commodity that provides a wide range of economic opportunities."

Abstract
This paper presents a memo to Councillor Alex Chiu of the city of Markham. The memo discusses a recent civil engineering study regarding the problem of potholes in Markham.

Table of Contents:
Summary
Findings
An Assessment of the Problem
Solutions
Recommendation
From the Paper
"Repairing potholes is a complex problem, particularly if one attempts repairs in a time of high levels of precipitation and extreme temperature fluctuations, as in the Spring. Today there exist materials and technologies that permit effective solutions to potholes that need not wait until summer (Kuennen 2004). However, as will be seen, these solutions come with higher costs. Solutions will be determined by the expected lifespan of the road surface.
"If the City of Markham intends to reconstruct the pavement of the section of Steeles Avenue East in question within a span of, say, three years, then a short-term patch using hot-mix asphalt may be the preferable solution. In this regard, as specialists in the field of pavement and pothole patching observe: "You have to price your options to the length of life that you want for the patch" (Kuennen 2004, p.32)."

Abstract
This paper, in the form of a memo, is a comprehensive analysis and proposal for implementation of an information technology plan for XXX Corporation. It explains how the company does not take advantage of the many innovative technological advances available in relation to selling women?s cosmetics using information technology. It also discusses how the IT plan will provide a framework and set of strategies for the utilization and management of information technology at the company.
From the Paper
"The plan first involves a study and review of emerging technologies related to the cosmetic industries, in an attempt to assess where our company has fallen behind in the race to advance technology. The primary role of information technology is to support the business plan. The current business plan for our company includes maintaining a competitive stance in the cosmetics industry as well as possible expansion into outlying and untapped markets over the next few years. Currently the company does not use a database or process information locally or nationally on a shared server. If our organization establishes an intranet, and makes our product information and purchasing options available over an easily accessible server, more sales representatives and agents will be able to quickly and efficiently access the most up to date information regarding product availability, status and description. Currently representatives rely on paper manuals and files to research products. By placing all of this information on a server and allowing reps to access it from any locality, sales and revenues will be greatly increased, thus coinciding with the overall goals of the business plan."

This is written in policy memo style; hence, it omits the words "to be" "is" "are", etc., making it sound extremely professional. It examines the Patriot Act, criticizes its motives, presents its consequences, and proposes alternatives and recommendations.
From the Paper
"On September 11, 2001, America's population started its day with immense terror and confusion. As Americans that hold individual freedom upon a pedestal, the Bush Administration went to work drafting the USA PATRIOT Act within 45 days of the attacks attempting to fight terror and retain America's Constitutional freedoms."

'The Safety Memo', 2005.
This paper looks at policies within a company through analysis of a case study entitled "The Safety Memo".
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 5 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes a case study called "The Safety Memo" in which a man tries to report a number of safety problems in a company and is intimidated by a manager who claims that the worker is being disloyal for pointing out these problems. The study suggests ways for the employee to protect himself and the writer notes how wrong it is for the company not to do something about the manager in question. The writer also points out the real threat being posed to the company by the policies the manager is promoting.
From the Paper
"The problem at the Cable Company is described in terms of Gordon Baldwin, but the problem is actually that of the Cable Company itself. The company may believe it is saving itself from an expense and that it is protecting itself from the actions of an employee fully aware of the safety issues involved, but in truth the company is setting itself up for major problems in the future, including lawsuits, government action, and labor trouble. This analysis assumes that the behavior of the General Manager, Gil, is known to the company and is part of an effort to discourage dissent and safety complaints from employees. The actions Gordon has taken were understood and encouraged by his immediate superiors, and he has done nothing except send a memo to make management aware of the potential for safety problems for the company."

To compete with this style of restaurant Wendy's should concentrate on placing healthier food items on the menu, improving the quality and freshness of its product, improving the atmosphere, increasing product offerings and exploiting its promotional advantage. Join the Health Food Craze As people are starting to recognize the damage traditional fast food has done to their health as well as their waistline, more and more people may move away from the traditional burger joints toward the quick casual menus that Panera offers. Wendy's needs to move quickly in creating a menu that contains healthier food for its customers. A National Provisioner article states, "consumers are no longer willing..."

The Cuban Missile Crisis, 2007.
A memo to Robert Kennedy, Chair of the Executive Committee of the National Security Council, in support of a blockade of Cuba.
1,385 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper is in the form of a memo that discusses the Soviet deployment of ballistic missiles in Cuba and weighs the appropriate response to this confrontation. The memo recommends an active blockade of Cuba and increased negotiation and shows the dangers inherent in a massive military assault against Cuba. The memo looks at the resources required for a blockade and considers removing U.S. missile sites from a similar strategically unimportant position in Europe. The memo explains that such a gesture would give the Soviets the false sense that they had "won" this conflict and would show the world that the US will respond forcefully when threatened by a foreign power.
Outline:
Overview of the Issue: Soviet Ballistic Missiles in Cuba
Blockade and Negotiation: An Appropriate Strategic Response
The Prevailing Options: Full-Scale Military Assault or Quarantine
Instituting a Cuban Blockade: Resources Required
From the Paper
"In recent days, in October 1962, a confrontation with the Soviet Union has developed over the deployment of ballistic missiles in Cuba (Cuban missile crisis, 2000). This confrontation has the unfortunate potential to develop into a major conflict between US and Soviet forces, perhaps even to the point where thermonuclear war will be inevitable. This action on the part of the Soviets took the administration somewhat by surprise (McNamara, 2002). Nonetheless, when considered in light of the recent events surrounding the failed Bay of Pigs incursion, it almost seems inevitable that the Soviets would exploit Cuba's position and antagonism toward the United States and its interests."

Abstract
This paper is a sample memo written to an immediate supervisor named Rhoda Waters. Rhoda has raised the possibility of switching from a chase demand strategy to a level-capacity strategy for aggregate planning. The memo will delineate the merits of one versus the other. The second part of the paper is a sample memo to Yvonne Williams. Yvonne Williams is the new boss at the company for which I work. She is very anxious to use her training in the concept of 'Just in Time Systems.' She has proposed implementing such a system in my operation. In keeping the 'Just in Time' idea, Yvonne suggests that rather than preventive maintenance, I concentrate on Just in Time Repairs. Write a short memo explaining why having a good preventive maintenance program in place is necessary prior to implementing a Just in Time system.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper presents an evaluation of a company using Dell as the benchmark for the evaluation. The paper analyzes Dell's IT infrastructure, supply chain and extensive use of key performance indicators and metrics of performance. The paper concludes that the consumer laptop market is very attractive although there are many processes the engineering, IT, marketing and supply chain organizations will need to consider. The paper also looks at the ethical question of whether the company can produce the high end performance laptops reliably enough to gain and keep customers' trust.
Outline:
Executive Summary
Assessing the U.S. and Global Laptop Market
Lessons learned from Dell
Summary of Strategic Recommendations
Ethical Considerations of entering the Consumer Laptop Market
Conclusion
From the Paper
"With the intent of finding greater price elasticity in consumer markets, the CEO of our company has requested an analysis of selling our enterprise-class laptops to the consumer markets. His reasoning is that the enterprise markets that are comprised primarily of large corporations are increasingly turning price into the only differentiator in evaluating ours and competitor's laptops. Selling into the consumer market gives our company the opportunity to differentiate on branding, a more precise approach to segmentation and the development of strategies that focus on buyer behavior, and the development of future product strategies based on the unmet needs of this entirely new market."
