Describe your possible courses of actions and the consequences of each one – and how does your Cognitive Moral Development influence these courses of action?

/in /by

You are a trader who joined a large investment bank two years ago. Pat, one of your fellow traders, is well known on the Street for being a big risk taker and a big money maker for the firm. Consequently, he is popular among your firm's senior management. You see him at a party one night and notice him surreptitiously using cocaine several times. A few weeks later in the office, you notice that he seems exceptionally high-spirited and that his pupils are extremely dilated — you know that both are signs of drug use. You have already voiced your concerns to Bob, his managing director, and you are thinking of mentioning your latest observations to Bob, when Pat makes a particularly impressive killing in the market for your firm's own account. Bob jokes that he does not know how Pat does it, but he does not care. ‘‘However he is pulling this off, it’s great for the firm." You feel strongly that this is a problem and that it places your firm at risk. It is obvious to you that Bob will not do anything about this problem. Do you raise it further? How can you voice your values in this case?

Questions:

1. Identify the ethical issue(s) in this scenario and the stakeholders involved;

2 Describe your possible courses of actions and the consequences of each one – and how does your Cognitive Moral Development influence these courses of action?

3. Describe how these actions would be influenced by looking through various theoretical lenses (consequentialist, deontological, virtue ethics); and

4 Explain how you personally would handle the situation and explain why

Explain how easyJet can make the route more profitable.

/in /by

You have been asked by the revenue manager to analyse the profitability of some leisure and business routes of your choice. To analyse the revenue management strategy of easyJet and the competitor airlines, you will need to collect airline ticket price data for each of your routes on a daily basis. You will then analyse the 2019 easyJet airline financial report to estimate the operating cost. It is important that you correctly chose the route and flights for the data you plan to collect. Poor planning will result in poor data making it difficult for you to get a high mark.
The following is the specification for the data you need to collect:

• Select Four European short-haul routes operating in the winter season.
• Two of your routes must be a leisure route departing anytime between 16th December 2020 and 6th January 2021.
• Two of your routes must be a business route departing anytime between 22nd November 2020 and 12th December 2020.
• Select one-way, direct flights only for 1 adult passenger.
• Record the lowest available ticket price for a minimum of two airlines per route.
• At least one of the flights, in any of the routes, must be operated by easyJet.
• Aim to record prices daily for a minimum of 6 weeks before the departure date.
• Identify the aircraft types operating the route to estimate the seat capacity.
To be able to compare the competition between airlines, you should:

• Select flights departing and arriving at the same airport.
• Select similar departure times if possible.
• Record ticket prices at a similar time of day.
• Only use the airlines own websites to obtain prices. While price comparison sites such as Skyscanner, Expedia, Ebookers etc. can be used to plan the data you intend to collect, do not use these sites for collecting the daily ticket prices.
• Delete internet cookies before requesting prices.
• Be careful not to choose two airlines operating a codeshare.
Typical European leisure destinations are:

– Spanish coast and islands; Greek islands; Cyprus; Turkish coastal resorts; Southern France; Malta; Italy

Typical European business routes are major financial cities such as:

– London; Brussels; Paris; Madrid; Frankfurt; Berlin; Munich; Copenhagen; Lisbon; Stockholm; Oslo; Milan; Geneva; Zurich; Amsterdam; Athens; Rome

A data collection template spreadsheet is available in the module on Blackboard. You are strongly advised to check the flights you have selected with the module tutor, before embarking on the daily collection of prices.

Once you have collected all the data, you need to write up a 1500 to 2000-word report of your findings. Your report should:

(i) A brief description of the flights operated in each route including the aircraft types/capacity, flight duration, departure times etc.
(ii) Analyse the revenue management strategies used by the various airlines on the route by presenting the ticket price data using clear and appropriate graphical methods. Price fluctuations with time should be clear and you should explain the price trends. Compare the price fluctuations between airlines and routes and suggest possible reasons for the differences. Can you identify the optimum time to buy a ticket? Is there a day of the week when prices are the cheapest?
(iii) For one easyJet flight, for which you will have collected ticket price data, estimate the total revenue from the flight and the total operational cost. Estimate the total profit/loss for the route. Your estimate of operational cost should be as accurate as possible and the method clearly explained. Explain how easyJet can make the route more profitable.

Compare specific events and analyse the response of the organization, explaining how they (organizations) handled or should handle the crisis.

/in /by

Examine a company or industry that has faced or is currently facing a crisis (or that is grappling with an
issue, which threatens to become a crisis.)
Students should compare specific events and analyse the response of the organization, explaining how
they (organizations) handled or should handle the crisis. If students are analysing a company with a specific
issue they should explore how the issue could lead to a crisis and how the company should act to prevent
it. In the light of the current COVID situation, students, for example, could discuss the impact of the
epidemic on a company/ industry (from their country/ region) in terms of the different dimensions of crisis
like political, economic, social, cultural and ecological.
Students can also discuss a country/region specific conflict/crisis situation and its resolution. It should be
discussed in terms of the different stages/phases of crisis communication as discussed in the class.
This assignment will be in two parts:
 Part 1: A PowerPoint presentation summarizing the crisis communication & management strategy. To be
presented in class for app.15 minutes
 Part 2: A written Report
The presentation will be worth 20% of the grade for the assignment. Grading criteria standard are provided
below
Your report should:
Present a thorough analysis of the situation rather than a description. All the stages/phases of the
issue/crisis with a timeline should be analysed. Major causes for the issue/crisis to occur in the first place
should be explained. Brief historical perspective will help to explain the situation. Results/ consequences of
the crisis on the different aspects of the company/ country (and/or the region) need to be critically
examined. Importance of timely communication with different stakeholder groups needs to be discussed in
detail.
All sources should be properly documented, using the Harvard Referencing System. Copy- paste
material would not be accepted.
The project report should be 5-6 pages in length (app 3000 words). It would be worth 20% of the total
grade. Grading criteria standard are provided below

Select an organization that you have never examined or studied before.

Research the organization as necessary and develop external and ORGL program references to support your analysis. Remember that you are being asked to analyze, evaluate, and offer recommendations for an organization, like as though you are serving as a consultant.

Once your research is complete, begin writing the paper:

An overview of the organization- its origin, purpose and history. Any other significant facts that will be foundational to the recommendations can be included as well. Maximum two pages.

A summary of the organizational strategy. How is the organization structured? How will that structure change over the coming years? What challenges exist with the current organization structure? Maximum two pages.

Propose four different recommendations around organizational structure, health or strategy. Each of the recommendations should be specific in nature, detailed in terms of implementation and be supported by a concepts or theories you studied in the ORGL program. Examples of the course material include Data Driven Decision Making, Change Management, Ethics, and Process Improvement. External references are needed as well for support. Each recommendation should require a MINIMUM of TWO PAGES. This portion of the paper is where you make your grade so follow directions carefully.

Include a SWOT analysis grid only in the appendix of the paper.
