Abstract
Using Enron's collapse as a background, this paper endeavors to arrive at the restoration of integrity within American business organizations. It scrutinizes the reasons for Enron's downfall in the light of the auditing business, looks at their law firm's role in the collapse and Enron's lack of 401(k) diversification. The paper concludes with proposals for restoring integrity within the American business arena.
From the Paper
"The fallout from Enron?s collapse will influence our business systems and economy for years, maybe even decades. More importantly, the collapse will shape the American business community?s psyche in ways we have only begun to imagine. Before its collapse, Enron?s value rivaled Maylasia?s GDP: when an entity that large implodes, there are bound to be side effects and repercussions through almost every facet of the economy. The hardest hit sectors, of course, will be institutional investing and accounting and auditing practices: a thorough examination of how company 401(k) retirement funds are managed will be necessary to determine why so many aging working Americans suddenly lost almost every penny of their 401(k)s ? their hope and their family?s hope for their retirement years, just around the corner ? when Enron collapsed. Accounting companies who combine their services with consulting services ? not just Arthur Anderson: every accounting firm does it at least to a certain extent, Anderson just happened to get caught ? will need to be checked and after years of congressional grumbling, this time it may actually happen."

From the Paper
"Position power refers to formal powers that remain vested in the position and are available to any individual who holds a certain position or title. Coercive power is used to control punishments that others receive. Information power is used to control information needed by subordinates to do their jobs. Technological advances have made information more widely available, and so information power is not as crucial as it used to be. Legitimate power covers a relatively narrow range of influence and refers to power individuals have because others accept and recognize their authority. Reward power is used to control the rewards that subordinates receive."

"This happened in our organization and it led to a conflict that took months to resolve. What happened was that Tom, our sales person, wrote a proposal to one of our valued clients. The proposal was very simple and it included the name of the product, the cost and the delivery time only. This was his first proposal in writing to any client, and before that Tom would take orders by convincing and talking to the client verbally. But this client was very professional and wanted a good proposal from our company. Tom, having no prior experience in writing proposals and reports, presumed that the client only required the price quote in writing and so he handed over a one-page proposal! "

Abstract
The future of the business organization has been analyzed by a number of theorists in recent years as they look to the beginning of a new century and a new millennium. Many find that the organization of the future will involve less bureaucracy and more small-scale community based structures, and they find evidence of this in companies that today are developing smaller-scale structures and work units with a higher degree of autonomy than would be expected in a hierarchical organization.
From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
The future of the business organization has been analyzed by a number of theorists in recent years as they look to the beginning of a new century and a new millennium. Many find that the organization of the future will involve less bureaucracy and more small-scale community based structures, and they find evidence of this in companies that today are developing smaller-scale structures and work units with a higher degree of autonomy than would be expected in a hierarchical organization. Developing this new structure will involve shifts not only in structure but in ways of thinking about problems, opportunities, and strategies. An examination of some of the issues will lead to a consideration of what must be done to create this organization of the future."

Abstract
This paper identifies what needs are important to many individuals and how they can be applied in the work environment. In addition to this, many factors listed help managers identify what employees need to motivate them. Surprisingly, many employees are not motivated by monetary values but by the feeling of importance and the improvement of their self esteem.
From the Paper
"Many present-day psychological theories have been developed from the work of Abraham Maslow and his hierarchy of needs. What is unique about Maslow's needs chart, as compared to charts of other psychologists, is that Maslow chose to analyze only those people who seemed to be untroubled or individuals whom he considered "whole". This state of being "whole" is a healthy one, in which one lives up to one's potential. This self-actualization is something not all people can attain, however, and so they become troubled or depressed. According to Maslow, it was easy to determine what made certain individuals whole. He felt if he could identify what elements were missing in some individuals by analyzing those who were whole, he then potentially could help those who were not whole."

2,303 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 13 sources, APA, £ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes how styles of management have changed and evolved over time and how management theories and concepts have similarly become more formalized and recognized over time as a result of the creation of formal work spaces, where managers and employees must interact with each other. The paper focuses on the writings of Frederick W. Taylor, Max Weber, Douglas McGregor, and Abraham Maslow.
Introduction
The Classic Management Styles of Taylor and Weber
Motivation Theories and Management Styles
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Max Weber also researched the impact of authority and leadership in the management process. Weber is often associated with socialist thinking and principles; but, in reality, he undertook research in understanding the qualities and requirements of leaders in the workplace. Weber was also able to differentiate between the bureaucratic leader where the leadership was gained by virtue of the position and the performance leader who gained the position by personal charisma or skill levels. A lot of the work undertaken by Weber was in Germany and applications of many of his principles were often overshadowed by politics."

The Differences
Discussion
From the Paper
"Most business-to-consumer sites operate similar to the traditional brick and mortar stores in terms of the supply chain. These companies typically have various suppliers from which they purchase either finished products or raw materials for the in-house production of a product. Many of those e-businesses that purchase finished products for resale are wholesalers. These companies or individuals contract with larger organizations to sell a company's product to the end-user for a small profit. Often these wholesalers do not have to maintain any sort of inventory, as the delivery of the product occurs via drop shipments."

Abstract
The paper begins with a review of basic ethical principles, between individuals and between governments and individuals. It contrasts the cultural differences in ethical behavior, using adultery as an example of unethical behavior in America that is accepted in other countries. The writer then gives examples of conflicts that a company identified as "Med Inc." had in international dealings. The writer analyzes the ethical conflicts shown in each situation. In conclusion, the writer shows that the ethical system used by American businesses does not correlate with the values of people in other countries.
From the Paper
"One of the reasons this paper has focused on the differences between western and mid east or Asian culture is that there is a world of difference between western business ethics and those practiced by OPEC or most Asian countries.
"As a primary example I am going to tell you about the commercial dealings between a Fortune 500 American business let's call it Medic Inc. and its subsidiaries, dealers and customers from other cultures.
"The first law of American business ethics, and there is a law, is "You shall not bribe any a government, official, person or business in order to obtain preferred status with said customer." Business caught doing this not only is subject to a major fine, but criminal charges may be brought both on the individual doing the bribing and the board of directors of the company.
"In contrast, in Africa, Asia, except possibly Japan, and in the Mid East, 'Baksheesh' is not only not illegal, it is an expected practice. In order for a company to do business with certain governments or businesses a gift of either money or similar value must be made to those making the final decision about whether your company' bid will win or not. Lowest price doesn't really come into play here. It's not what you know, technologically, but whom you know that counts."
