Abstract
The process of globalization is a form of dialogue between an international business organization and another nation's economy and needs. Globalization involves combining existing business organizational structures with that of a new local culture. The tumult that occurs during an organizational expansion into a new economic environment can be difficult, but productive as well. This paper examines how Bank of America made use of a large, inexpensive, yet relatively well-educated English-speaking work force India. It embraced India's advantages and provided benefits for Indian workers, as well as educational, health and safety safeguards and financial opportunities. The paper shows that even Wal-Mart made use of a large population experienced in garment manufacturing on a mass scale in China and provided substantial benefits to the nation in excess to what the local populace was accustomed to receiving from indigenous companies. In contrast, the paper shows that although Halliburton in Nigeria also initially made use of a lower-cost English speaking former colony, it did so with less effective results because of a perceived insensitivity to national needs, such as its corruption and abuse of the local environment.
From the Paper
"Of course, there are not as many safety and security concerns in India regarding the local population in regards to the banking industry as there are with defense manufacturing. Still, it seems as though, because the company entered into the agreement with a spirit of respect, it has become one of the most popular of "foreign banks" that "are moving more money into India, lured by the rising incomes in Asia's fourth-biggest economy," combined with its cheaper sources of English-speaking and technically experienced labor. (MacDonald & Daga, 2003) Unlike Nigeria, the African nation's economy is not expanding at nearly as quick a pace, thus highlighting the dependency of the Nigerian nation upon Halliburton."

Organizational Behavior: Organizational Structure Metaphor, 2006.
An assessment of the Emperor penguins' organizational effectiveness as a metaphor for organizational structure.

Abstract
Out of thousands of living creatures populating our planet, Emperor penguins represent one of the most inspirational natural metaphors for modern organizational behavior. The paper shows that Emperors put their skills and abilities to good use; they utilize their resources effectively; they overcome numerous obstacles to help the organization internal processes flow smoothly. Finally, they accomplish their common goal. Emperor penguins flourish in the place where few living things can survive. The paper shows that as we study Emperor penguins, we cannot help drawing parallels. What if the workplace worked like this? An employee and a manager could take some lessons in the areas of protection, sacrifice, cooperation and teamwork.

From the Paper
"Another criterion of assessing organizational effectiveness is resource acquisition. Emperor Penguins rely on the ocean as their only food source, so it must be within reach of every mature penguin or they will starve and die. The acquisition of heat can be seen in the huddle where penguins must cooperate during storms or they will freeze to death. The acquisition of safety can be seen in the protection of their chicks from predators. Acquiring a mate takes a certain amount of skill and determination as well. The "healthy systems" approach is in effect in the rookery because we can see the genuine sense of community."

Abstract
"This paper is a high level overview of a particular case study at a healthcare facility and how operational management principles can be applied to effect the necessary change in order to improve the organization and specific department of concern. The paper discusses the importance improving operations for an emergency department in Mountain View Hospital, as these improvements can save lives.
From the Paper
" Mountain View Hospital; Belleview, WA Many organizations experience problems ranging from customer service issues to employee moral difficulties. These are commonplace in today's global economy and organizational and management theories proliferate on how to counter and correct most issues. What most theorists overlook, however, is the difference between problems in a mainstream organization and the cost of problems that exist in a healthcare facility. While issues may still range from customer service to employee moral, the cost can ultimately be measured not in lost productivity, but in patient lives. This paper will explore the current situation at Mountain View Hospital's Emergency Department in Belleview, WA and how the proper use of operations management principles would significantly reduce the problems. Case Presentation: Mountain View Hospital Emergency Department There are currently 32 rooms in Mountain View Hospital's Emergency Department."

Abstract
This paper examines two organisations: Exxon Mobil and The Body Shop. It suggests that in the case of The Body Shop, the presence of an ethical code has increased their commitment to ethical marketing practices. However, in the case of Exxon Mobil, the presence of an ethical code does not necessarily ensure a strong commitment to ethical marketing practices. It concludes that the presense of an ethical code can only increase organisational commitment to ethical marketing practices if it is enforced by either an ethics officer or an ethical awareness programme. In addition, it shows how the effectiveness of ethical codes can vary between organisations and industries.
From the Paper
"The Body Shop is an organisation that set themselves tough standards within their code of ethics; their mission is to dedicate its business to the pursuit of environmental and social change (Anon 1, 2004). In an organisational context, the code of ethics has been developed in order to support the marketing objectives and the mission statement of the company. Due to the size of the company, the actions of the Body Shop are visible to the public and the external pressure to manage ethical activities is far greater than that of a smaller company (Weaver, 1993). Therefore, any mismanagement of ethical activities will reflect badly on the company and contradict the high expectations that have been outlined within the code of ethics. Weaver (1993) reinforces this perspective suggesting that it can be potentially dangerous for a company to use ethics as a positioning tool."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Success in any work setting depends on a respect for people and an understanding of human behavior in complex organizational systems (Schermerhorn et al, 2005). Understanding the human behavior is especially important when trying to manage and develop people to make ethical and savvy business decisions on behalf of the organization. Most people will agree ethical behavior is defined as behavior that is morally right and good as opposed to wrong or bad. However, the consensus of what is ethical pertaining to a specific action will often vary from person to person."

Abstract
The image of organizational ethics suffered severely from recent Wall Street scandals. However, experts suggest that, in times of distress and tough economic conditions, it is more important than ever to remain faithful to personal and organizational moral principles. This paper shows that, even though companies cannot build the individual morality and personal ability to recognize right from wrong, effective communication, guidance, or resources availability, an example set by upper management and formal education can help students and employees avoid ethical risks and make knowledgeable ethical decisions. The paper analyzes various problems associated with moral behavior and decision making in the modern workplace and discusses several ways to improve and promote workplace ethics.

From the Paper
"In 1996, Archer Daniels Midland Company pleaded guilty and agreed to pay $100 million dollars for fixing the price of two corn-based products that cost consumers millions of dollars a year (Hunter-Gault, 1996). In 2000, Firestone and Ford Motor Company had to apologize to their consumers for a series of deadly accidents linked to tire failures, while trying to pin blame on each other. In 2002 Ford/Firestone scandal was followed by the largest corporate bankruptcy in the US, the collapse of Enron, whose ?rapid expansion - and escalating profits - turned out to be based on false accounting methods that artificially inflated its size and potential? (Enron puts itself, 2002). Since the Enron scandal erupted, many more scandals tarnishing the names of once-mighty companies, such as Andersen, WorldCom, Xerox, Tyco, Merrill Lynch and others came to light (Wall Street Scandals, 2002). Are the scandals that have shaken the confidence in corporate America just the result of a few bad apples, or do they indicate a tragic tumble of corporate culture, integrity and business ethics?"

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the span of 30 years, computers have totally revolutionized the way people work: Although many of these changes have been welcomed; in almost all situations,they have contributed to job-related stress. The author points out that, when computers first come into the workplace, workers are afraid the computer will replace them or they are frustrated learning how to use the computer. The paper relates that a good business management tool is to practice ethics in the human services department especially during periods of downsizing; managers should make it as painless as possible for everyone involved.
From the Paper
"While the rapidly changing technology of our time has created much mental and emotional stress in the work place, it has also caused some physical stress. Carpal tunnel syndrome has become an increasing problem. Other problems that can develop if proper precautions are not taken include fatigue, eye strain, and cramps. An alert manager can help prevent this by encouraging his employees to take periodic stretch breaks and teaching the employees about ergonomic positioning. Additionally, Microsoft produces keyboards and mice that are designed to reduce this type of job fatigue and strain. OSHA also has available on their website www.osha.gov additional information such as proper keyboard height to reduce eye strain."

Abstract
This paper argues that organizational ethics is related as much to organizational culture and leadership, or organizational value, as it is to a clear and concise code of ethics. The paper asserts that organizations need to ensure that not only is there a well-documented code of ethics but that all employees, from executive management to the lowest level of employee, are well versed in the document and are well aware of the organization's expectations regarding acceptable and appropriate behavior. The paper goes on to discuss how organizational ethics are maintained through a balanced approach in human resources, through ethical leadership strategies, and though ethical training.

From the Paper
"Organizations need to ensure that not only is there a well documented code of ethics but that all employees, from executive management to the lowest level of employee, are well-versed in the document and are well-aware of the organization's expectations regarding acceptable and appropriate behavior. The precedent established by executive management ensures that employees who might waiver when faced with regulatory loopholes or quandaries that seem to blur the line between what is ethical and what is not, will be able to rely on their organization's support by taking the high-road every time or at least in gaining higher opinion and feedback."

Abstract
This paper explains that Organization Theory states the way various organizations operate and how they influence and are affected by the environment around them shapes the way a particular organizational emerges. The author points out that the ability to change and grow, along with the structural and cultural issues, which are addressed within an organization, are utilized to control many of the various activities of the organization to ensure that the specified organizational objectives are actually achieved. The paper relates that there are two forms of innovation; administrative innovation deals mostly with implementing changes in the structure utilized to carry out the organization's administrative functions, while technological innovation deals with using new techniques, systems, devices, or tools to change either the products or services.
From the Paper
"Organizational design, however, is still extremely important as it contributes to the ability of the organization to deal with various innovations. This is done by looking at the particular organizational structure and linking individuals who have very specialized skills to specific areas of the business where they can be the most useful. By optimizing the skills of various individuals throughout the organization, the capacity of the organization to achieve its desired goals and outcomes is maximized."

From the Paper
"Ethical behavior can be considered the right or moral behavioral choice. When it comes to decision making it is imperative that managers, leaders and subordinates practice the art of ethical decision making. The problem that is generally encountered is for members of an organization to agree that the decision is actually ethical. What one person believes to be moral another person could believe to be immoral. Archie B. Carroll came up with a distinction between moral, amoral and immoral managers. His logic is as follows: "The immoral manager doesn't subscribe to any ethical principles, making decisions and acting in any situation to simply take best personal advantage. The amoral manager, by contrast, fails to consider the ethics of a decision or behavior."
