A solution to TransCanada Corps Ethical dilemma

A solution to TransCanada Corps Ethical dilemma

A solution to TransCanada Corps Ethical dilemma
Order Description
This paper is for my Management Ethics class. It’s a term paper where we have to find an ethical dilemma and write about a solution to it. I have copy pasted an overview of the ethical dilemma and attached the requirements for the paper below. I’ve added the overview of the entire course content to give you an idea of what the course entails so the paper can be specific to the concepts introduced throughout the course. I don’t think we need peer reviewed references for this paper but nonetheless sources are required please include 5+ references linking theories and concepts to those in the course outline etc. Do let me know if you require more information

The ethical dilemma I have chosen to discuss All Canada pipeline project by TransCanada Corp. This project is very similar to the Keystone Pipeline project that is currently under review in the US Congress. Some consider it as an ‘Industry Pipe Dream’ whilst others look at is as more of a ‘New Tar Sands Menace’. This is a common situation of tradeoff of development and growth with all its benefits for the economy against protecting the environment. This constitutes an ethical dilemma as for TransCanada Corp it comes down to making huge profits from its $12 billion project with the social cost of exploiting and harming the environment. There are a few ethical ways in which TransCanada Corp can handle this situation.

o The story to look for is one that outlines or suggests an ethical dilemma. An ethical dilemma reflects a conflict of values that can be resolved in two or more ethically defensible ways. The story should relate to a business issue, in the broad sense of that term. It may deal with the world of commerce, marketing, finance or with environmental issues. Be careful not to choose a story that reflects only a situation where a person or organization has succumbed to moral temptation – that is a situation where someone has done something that is clearly evil, wrong or bad. You are looking for a dilemma.
o The paper itself will analyse the story from the perspective of the concepts you have been introduced to in this course. This is not a research assignment, but students may want to look at information beyond the initial story in order to flesh out their paper, for instance by checking facts, getting other opinions or providing important background and contextual information.
o The expectation is that the student will use the concepts and critical skills developed in this course for resolving an ethical dilemma to make the case for how the dilemma should be or should have been decided. Students are expected to refer to the ethical methods introduced in this course and to use the four philosophical analytic tools that have been used in class discussion.
o You are to write the paper as a report directed to the person making the decision about the ethical dilemma.
o The paper should be 1200 to 1500 words in length (double spaced) excluding appendices, references and the title page
o Grades will be assigned based how well the paper demonstrates knowledge of the course material and the ability to use the ethical concepts and methods of analysis in resolving the ethical dilemma chosen. The learning goals for the course should be kept in mind in preparing a paper.
o While grammar, spelling and general writing ability are not the central learning objectives of this course, students need to attend to these matters in order to communicate clearly and persuasively. Accordingly shortcomings in these areas will affect the overall grade.
o Students are encouraged to think creatively about presentation. Inserting photographs or other graphics to add emphasis or illustrate a point is encouraged. Formatting and layout of the paper is also an issue. Using subtitles and shorter paragraphs increases the readability and effectiveness of your communication. Where appropriate including hyperlinks to resources or video clips may help. Formatting papers as one long ‘text message’ will be considered a sign of inappropriate lack of attention to the seriousness of the need to communicate effectively. Students are encouraged to read their paper over aloud before submitting it. The ear is often a better editor than the eye.

Front Row Group 8
• This class will look at the 2 leading theories of CSR. Stockholder (also shareholder) theory says the social responsibility of the firm is to make profits, so long as it stays within the law and behaves ethically. Stakeholder theory emphasizes the need for firms to balance the interests of all the people it impacts (stakeholders). Note that the two theories are not necessarily mutually exclusive, although they are often presented that way.

Front Row Group 9
• Philosophers, lawyers and economists all use the term ‘agency theory’ to refer to related but distinct concepts. From the perspective of CSR agency theory is an important organizational theory that tries to explain how owners (shareholders) who do not actually manage a firm can make sure that the executives who do manage it do so in the best interest of the owners, not themselves.
• The question that both theories seek to address is how to motivate people so we will begin this class with a look at motivation.

initial scenarios and provide a substantive critique

initial scenarios and provide a substantive critique

initial scenarios and provide a substantive critique
•Critically examine the initial scenarios and provide a substantive critique of the scenario and its association with the particular analysis strategy chosen. Additionally, address whether or not there is another analysis strategy that would be better or equally suited for the given crime series facts.

Strategies:
Intelligence Analysis
Strategic Crime Analysis
Operational Analysis
Criminal Investigations Analysis
Tactical Crime Analysis
Administrative Crime Analysis

These are the scenarios that need to be critiqued:

Criminal Investigations Analysis is considered to be the use of components of a crime and/or the physical and psychological attributes of a criminal to ascertain the identity of the criminal. It is also considered to be an investigation by the police into a crime. (Criminal Investigative Analysis)

? A hypothetical scenario would be as the following: There is someone murdering and raping females between the ages of 15-28 around town. Most of them are young, athletic, active, and always alone when he strikes. Most of these women either live alone or are alone, running through a park or alone in their house, or apartment. The offender is extremely careful to not leave any evidence behind while committing the crime. He ties them up, rapes them, than strangles them. The offender slips in and out very carefully and quietly. With that example, investigators are careful to examine all the evidence around the crime scene. Some of the scenes are in their home or in the park. They have analyze the scene to get evidence to find the offender. They will be looking at the body, if he left any marks, fingerprints, DNA of any sort or anything else that may be relevant to the crime. It is extremely important that they analyze this scene so they can catch this offender.

Tactical Crime Analysis deals with immediate criminal offenses to promote quick response. It provides information to assist operational personnel in the identification of specific crime trends and in the arrest of criminal offenders. The primary goal is to identify crime trends and patterns/series. Tactical information links offenders and modus operandi information from a number of offenses in an attempt to provide investigative leads, help solve crimes, and clear cases after apprehension and arrest. (Types of Crime Analysis).

? A hypothetical scenario would be as the following: When there is a crime committed and the investigators are trying to figure out who the offender is, this is when tactical crime analysis comes into play. They are trying to find a pattern of the offender to hopefully narrow a profile to identify the offender of the crime. The more information they have about the crime and possibly the signature of the criminal, the better chances they have to solving the crime.

Administrative Crime Analysis involves long range projects. Task include providing economic, geographic law enforcement information to police management, city hall, city council, and neighborhood/citizen groups. Its purpose is financial, organizational, political, and legislative. It is critical to budge, personnel, public information, and legal issues. (Types of Crime Analysis).

? A hypothetical scenario would be as the following: Providing the public with information in regards to a crime of what, when, how, who, or any other information the police think would be vital for the public to be aware of. They use this as a way to make people aware of what is happening and to potentially get any tips if they are unable to solve a crime themselves.

Binomial Distribution

Order Description
Binonomial Distribution
As a quality engineer working on the Rangdo production line, you have determined that the probability of producing a defective part is 6%. You want to develop a plan to monitor the quality of this line. Your idea is to take a sample of 20 parts every hour and determine the number of defectives. How many defectives do you need to find (or more) in a sample of 20 so that you will shut down the line. You want to be 95% sure that there is a real problem beyond random noise before you shut down the line.
Use Excel’s binomial function to determine the answer. Provide a one page paper discussing the problem, what you did to solve it and what your specific recommendation or plan is for monitoring quality.

Assignment Expectations:

Answer questions with clarity and show the detailed steps for calculation in the Excel spreadsheet. Upload your paper with your discussion and upload the Excel file with your calculations.

A Bloody Sunday in Brentwood

Order Description
Here’s What Happened . . .
The chief of police in Centervale is becoming more concerned with victims’ rights. He worries that law enforcement officers do not have enough real-world opportunities to review cases of victimology. As practice, you and your fellow officers have been asked to evaluate the Nicole Simpson case from the time she first reported intimate violence by O. J. Simpson to the time of her death.
Assess from a victimology standpoint and under the assumption that O. J. Simpson was the perpetrator of the murder.
Here’s What You Need to Do . . .
Using APA-formatted in-text citations and external sources that are referred to on a corresponding reference page, prepare a report on the Simpson case, evaluate what resources could have been used to prevent the murder, and then suggest improvements. Your report should include the following:
• In the recent decades, we have seen stalking laws, as well as intimate partner-violence laws, undergo vast improvements due to more awareness and education for those who make, enforce, and interpret laws. Make a flowchart that identifies these critical stages in the laws for stalking and intimate violence.
• Research the laws, policies and procedures, and operational techniques pertaining to victims’ rights and victim protection. Compare and contrast your research with the processes found in the Simpson case. What can you recommend to law enforcement officers to prevent similar results in future cases?
• Analyze and interpret statistical data using basic research methods. Illustrate any correlations between stalking, intimate violence, and homicide. How can you compare your findings with the facts of the Simpson case?
• Apply the victimology or criminology theory, or theories that best fits this case. Express your reasoning for your comparison of comparison of the victimology v. criminological theory.
Research lethality or danger assessments used by law enforcement agencies and victim advocacy centers. Describe what the assessments are used for. What facts can you select to show the lethality signs that were present before Nicole’s murder? Create your own lethality or danger assessment containing at least five questions that you feel would be the most relevant questions to ask a victim in a dangerous intimate relationship in order to assist in determining the threat level of the partner. Describe your reasoning in your concluding remarks.
