Mea & Sims (2019) presents the “Human Dignity-Centered” Framework that business leaders can adopt to build an ethos of humanistic management. Using this conceptual framework, examine one of the motivational theories (behaviorism, need-hierarchy, theory x & theory y, two-factor theory, JCM, Equity Theory, expectancy theory, goal setting or social cognitive theory) listed in Cafferkey’s (2017) editorial on opportunities for further study (pages 79-81). In your examination, discuss the ethical and legal foundations of this motivational theory, examples of it found within Biblical text, and discuss how it fits (or doesn’t) with the Human Dignity-Centered Framework.

DISCUSSION FORUM:
For this week’s discussion forum we would like you to consider the idea of business and politics and how they intertwine.
The source material for the discussion is:
As we all continue to live through the Covid-19 Pandemic, it is becoming increasingly apparent that a vaccine will be the only way to put this virus in the rear-view mirror. The creation of the vaccine might seem out of our hands, but it is our hands, or rather our taxpayer money, that is funding the R&D for these companies to develop it. The NOW THIS video begins with Trump’s HHS Secretary, Alex Azar, who refuses to say that a vaccine will be affordable. He says that it is out of the government’s control, and at the moment he is correct. The government relinquished pricing control of the vaccine to the pharmaceutical companies even though the government has given more than $10billion in taxpayer dollars to pharmaceutical companies (Jorge, 2020). With the announcement of Operation Warp Speed in the summer, which has given even more government support to these companies, the tie between industry and government is stronger now than ever. The allowance for companies to continue to increase prices of life saving medications has been a hotly contested issue for decades, but as we now face a virus that will continue to spread until millions are vaccinated, it seems ever more important to reconsider the control the government has relinquished on pricing of these medicines.
We chose these sources because we wanted to stimulate a discussion topical to the Covid-19 pandemic, which is undoubtably effecting everyone in this class in some way. We often think of corruption happening in other countries, where industry and government and sometimes indistinguishable, but even here in America we deal with the trouble of looking at this line that is often blurred. The founders of this country thought it important to have some boundary between the two, but in these unique times what do you think is ethical?
Questions
1. Is it unethical that taxpayers who paid part of the R&D budget for the development of this vaccine, might not be able to afford it once it is released?
2. How do you feel about the drug companies using tax dollars to create these drugs and/or vaccines and then placing a patent on it so they can charge whatever they want?
3. Should there be regulation on pricing for government funded projects/industries? Why or why not?
How does business ethics and/or CSR impact the organisational performance?

Read the attached case “ZARA: Fast Fashion” and answer the 2 questions based on the lecture notes.
One of the important aspects of this case is that it can be used to link marketing to other functional areas,
particularly supply chain management and finance.
1) Why might Zara fail? How sustainable would you calibrate its competitive advantage as being relative
to the kinds of advantages typically pursued by other apparel retailers?
2) How well does Zara’s advantage travel globally?
