FBLA POWER POINT

Just to bring clarity to the project.
Too many of you have turned in something that does not fit what I am looking ofr in the presentation. That has to be my fault. I apologize for not explainging it better. So here we go let us try these instructions:

Act as the Advisor or the President of the FBLA Club. Create a tool in powerpoint that you would use to draw interest in the club from students. It is a recruiting tool. What is the message you would deliver to students to make them want to join?


5 Slides will get you a good LOW "D" as a grade.

ALL CLASSES- Work Place Ethics


Workplace Ethics Activity:
Making Informed Ethical Decisions
Instructions
Each student must read and discuss the following scenarios. Then, determine the steps for making ethical decisions. Each of you should select a feasible alternative and be prepared to discuss the reasoning for selecting that alternative. Your work will be challenged, regardless of the decision and you should give appropriate feedback.

Scenarios
For all scenarios, assume you are employed by Best Computer Systems, a large computer manufacturing company with approximately 1000 employees. The company is located in a large metropolitan area.

CASE 1: Lorna is an administrative assistant in the Human Resources Department. Her good friend, Bill, is applying for a job with the company and she has agreed to serve as a reference for him. Bill approaches her for advice on preparing for the interview. Lorna has the actual interview questions asked of all applicants and considers making him a copy of the list so he can adequately prepare.

CASE 2: Emily works in Quality Control. Once a year, her supervisor gives away the refurbished computers to the local elementary school. No specific records are kept of this type of transaction and Emily really needs a computer for her son who is in college. Her supervisor asks her to deliver 12 computer systems to the school.

CASE 3: Marvin is the secretary in the Facilities Management Department. He has just received a new computer and wants to try it out. Though his supervisor has a strict policy about computer use for business purposes only, he wants to learn the e-mail software more thoroughly than his training can provide. One good way to do this, he figures, is to write e-mail messages to his friends and relatives until he Agets the knack of it.@ He is caught up on all his work and only has 30 minutes left to work today. His supervisor left early.

CASE 4: Richard and Conway are talking in the hallway about the employee benefits program. Conway, who has had some recent financial trouble, explains to Richard how the benefits program has a loophole that will allow him to receive some financial assistance that he really needs to help pay health care costs for his mother. Cathy, a fellow worker, overhears the conversation. Later, Cathy is approached by her supervisor who says he heard a rumor that some people were Ataking advantage of the company benefits program.@

CASE 5: Jennie was recently hired to work as a receptionist for the front lobby. As receptionist, she is responsible for making copies for the associates. Her son, Bruce, comes in and needs some copies for a school project. He brought his own paper and needs 300 copies for his class. If he doesn=t bring the copies with him, he will fail the project. The company copier does not require a security key nor do they keep track of copies made by departments.


Steps for Making Ethical Decisions

  1. Identify the ethical issue or problem.
  2. List the facts that have the most bearing on the decision.
  3. Identify anyone who might be affected by your decision and how.
  4. Explain what each affected person would want you to do about the issue.
  5. List three alternative actions and identify the best and worst case scenario for each alternative, anyone who would be harmed by this choice (and how), any values that would be compromised by selecting this alternative, and any automatic reasons why this alternative should not be selected (legal issues, rules, etc.).
  6. Determine a course of action.
