"The really attractive outcome of SBD is the comprehensive perspective that this method of management view of the corporation as well as its business environment. The business environment includes the "direct relationships with suppliers, distributors, customers, partners, employees, and shareholders and direct linkages with stakeholders, competitors, related industries and the natural environment (the eco-systems)." (Rainey, 2007) Sustainable Business Development is stated of Rainey of the nature that may be perceived: "...as a subset of the broader concepts of sustainability and sustainable development as defined by the international community of nations and the United Nations. SBD is a "holistic management construct that includes the entire value system from the origins of the raw materials to production processes and customer applications to end-of-life (EoL) solution." Encompassed is the complete spectrum of existing relationships with "supply networks, customers and stakeholders, and support service providers for providing business solutions and also handling wastes, residuals, and impacts." (Rainey, 2007) Accomplishing this is assured through the management concepts of enterprise management and 'life cycle thinking' (LCT)" which not only serves to build the awareness of the organization but as well builds the strategic management concept to include the mindfulness beyond the companies direct actions only."

"From the foregoing definitions, it is garnered that a global corporation holds a position in all markets of a significant nature and has an information system that is able to balance the global supply to the global demand. A global corporation is one that is not identified on the basis of the country of its origin. The global corporation is participative in all geographic markets, designs both local and global products and locates it value chain globally although selectively. The global corporation is one that has marketing programs both locally and globally. The global corporation's organizational structure, its management process, and as well the organization's people and culture enables the corporation in global integration and coordination achievement. The global corporation has the power to command resources of astronomical proportions worldwide while it designs and delivers products and services tailored to the consumer's specific needs. The global corporation brings to markets resources that are world-class although the markets might not be otherwise able to justify these resources. The following chart labeled Figure 1 lists the 'Taxonomy of International Organization Models and Related Characteristics and Capabilities'. "

Abstract
This paper presents the opinion that in order for a company to remain competitive in the future, they will have to acknowledge the importance of international business, particularly the trend toward global expansion within the corporate environment. The paper also discusses the need for a company to nurture their organizational culture, give greater attention to organizational development, acknowledge cultural diversity and adopt a culturally sensitive organizational atmosphere in order to succeed.
From the Paper
"For a company to survive in the modern or globalized environment they must acknowledge the trend toward international business and take steps to enter the global marketplace. They must also recognize the need to remain competitive and work diligently to satisfy the needs of increasingly dynamic and savvy consumers and customers. Key to organization's survival in this highly competitive industry includes their willingness to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse and complex consumer base. Consumers are becoming more and more demanding and knowledgeable as they realize more and more entities are entering the global marketplace, enhancing their selection of products and services and enhancing their customer service experience. Organizations interested in remaining competitive must adopt knowledge sharing practices that incorporate use of technological advances."

Abstract
This paper discusses modern organizational behavior trends in business. The paper examines the concerns for ethical decision-making in modern society and the processes that are required to ensure that ethics lead managers to proper conclusions for organizations today. The paper then examines how technology creates stress in the workforce, as well as how this issue can be addressed effectively.
From the Paper
"Organizational Behavior Trends Introduction Modern business trends in organizational behavior include a newly awakened concern for ethical behavior, as well as a growing contemplation regarding the impact of technology on the workforce. Ethical concerns in decision-making provide a more stable working environment, as well as organizational values that are universal among members. Technology advances, while allowing businesses to expand in the global market, create stressors for employees that are often incapable of maintaining a current knowledge of systems that are expanding almost daily. Ethics and Decision Making The influence of ethics on decision-making is discussed by the Ethics Resource Center in Washington, D.C. The organization discusses the fact that decision-making in itself is a process that must be carefully approached, with a consideration for all elements affected by the decision prior to reaching a solution that will be beneficial to the organization."

Abstract
This paper examines how there are numerous trends that can be evaluated that impact organizational behavior. It looks at how these trends can affect the organization's behaviors as whole or at the employee level. In particular, it shows how the behavior within an organization can be affected by the following trends; influence of ethics on decision-making, the impact of technology on work-related stress, and the impact of globalization on business practices. Other trends include the impact of politics and power within organizations and emphasis on teamwork.
From the Paper
"Ethical decisions are not just left to the managers of an organization; many organizations offer ethical training classes to help all its employees make ethically sound decisions. According to Bateman, T. & Snell, S. (2004), there are two ethic programs that organization follow, compliance-based and integrity-based programs. Compliance-based programs are organizational mechanisms that are typically designed by and organization's corporate counsel to prevent, detect, and punish legal violations. Integrity-based programs are organizational mechanisms that are designed to instill in its employees a personal responsibility for ethical behavior. It would be in the best interest of an organization to use both programs, as an organization must have a way to detect unethical behavior and know that the majority of its employees have a personal responsibility for ethical behavior."

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
This paper examines how the era of improving business management through the acquisition of new equipment or designing a new manufacturing process seems to be drawing to a close and how the global economy, which is increasingly based on knowledge and knowledge management (KM), is becoming more dependant on the way in which people can work together, rather than the way in which cogs in a machine interact. It explores how the digital, global economy has allowed businesses to diversify their approach to managing people and how the individual in the company has slowly become recognized as possessing just as much value, if not more, than the machinery or computer equipment with which he works.
From the Paper
"According to Tony Morden, issues of effective management are being tied to international culture. Both elements, which can be unique expressions of an individual organization or culture, are understood to be affectively related to the commitment of the individual to their organization. Morden quotes research by Hofstede, Hampden-Turne and Trompenaars who are ?contributors to the rapidly developing body of experience and knowledge about international culture and management? their work supports an understanding in which ?cultural interpretation and adaptation are a prerequisite to the comparative understanding of national and international management practice."

Abstract
This paper first explores the influence of ethics on decision-making in businesses. The paper reveals that a business with a sound ethical policy will attract consumers, shareholders who wish to invest in a company that is unlikely to be investigated for ethics violations, and potential top-quality employees. The paper then examines the impact of technology on work-related stress.
From the Paper
"Ethics education has long been a mainstay of most business curriculums on both the undergraduate and graduate level. But arguably, it has only been a pressing concern in the real world of business in recent years, where scandals such as the Enron debacle and various CEO abuses of corporate expense accounts at Tyco have brought ethics to the consciousness of the boardroom and the public, as well as to academics. According to Alfred Gini, a philosophy professor at Loyola University in Chicago and associate editor of Business Ethics Quarterly: "Because of Enron, all MBA programs, all schools of business, are looking at themselves and saying, 'What happened here, and why did it happen,'" and many CEOs and managers are doing the same (Torres 2005:1)."

Customer Experience and Business Organizational Behavior, 2002.
This paper evaluates the relationship between customer experience and business structure.

Abstract
The paper studies the relationship between customer experience and idealized business or organizational structure, as advanced by Prahalad and Ramaswamy in an article from 2000. The writer then offers a set of criteria against which such a theory can be assessed. The paper identifies the key theoretical constructs which underpin the movement toward integration of customer experience and competence into other business systems.
From the Paper
"The creation of superior customer value is accomplished because of an organization's ability to continually generate intelligence about customers' expressed and latent needs and about how to satisfy those needs. Typically, intelligence generation has been treated as a generic activity of the organization but the new competitive environment necessitates the development of a more customer-focused and interactive intelligence-generation capability (Slater & Narver, 2000). Again, the Internet and other information technologies are ideal vehicles for gathering this kind of intelligence and creating the "customer communities" that Prahalad and Ramaswamy (2000) have described. Virtual communities are cost-effective meeting places for a firm and its customers, and also offer rapid turn-around and information exchange."

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."

From the Paper
"What is so startling about Bill Gates 1970's prediction of, "A computer on every office desk and in every home," is that very few people owned a computer at that time(Gates). For the most part only colleges and business had them. In fact the idea of a personal computer was beyond the comprehension of most people even those in business. For many in 1975, the Altair was their first introduction to a personal computer and it did not have a display or keyboard and had to be programmed by its owner by flipping a switch back and forth (pop quiz). Certainly this was not a product that would cause anyone to expect a computer to be on every desk and in every home. However, today there is a computer in 60 percent of the homes in the United States and people have access to computers in their jobs and in public libraries (Jennings)."

Abstract
This paper looks at how in today's workplaces, issues of ethics and excessive (and/or unethical) technology are each key considerations in the area of organizational behavior for managers, employees, and others. It discusses how issues of workplace ethics, including technological ethics, will likely continue to cause stress, moreover, as narrower definitions of workplace privacy continue to emerge.
From the Paper
" It is simply too easy in today's world for technologies to become ubiquitous at work and home, blurring the line between work and time off. At one time, workers at the end of their day simply walked away from their desks, files, typewriters, telephones, etc., and returned the next morning. Now, with cell phones; e-mail; fax machines; pagers; text-messages, etc., one's work environment intrudes regularly on home life and other time away from the workplace. Increasingly, anxious workers even bring laptop computers on vacation, in order to "check in" when away. Laptop computers permit workers, literally, to take their offices home (or to doctor's offices; waiting rooms; airports, etc.). "

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."

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."
