According to Trevino and Nelson (2011), stakeholders refer to individuals or parties affected by an organization’s business and actions.

Merck’s Roy Vagelos funding research to develop treatment for river blindness was faced with controversies in the Latin America and the world at large. The reason why people were in support of the research was that it would save human lives that had been greatly affected by the worms that bred in rivers.

This is because river blindness was a disease that had no cure and the getting cure for the river blindness would be of immense impact to the industry and world at ...

Integrated Perspective Studies

The case study of Merck/Vioxx case is highly significant in explaining in a practical view how causation and correlation arguments can affect and give impacts in legal claims. It is an indication of how ability or failure to understand the causality and correlation in an event or a case can impact defining a case (Pearl, 2010). This case can, therefore, be argued at different dimensions to define it in favour of or against the defendant.
In this case study and as pleaded guilty for, it is quite clear that Merck had committed an offense which is probably civil offense ...

The case chosen for discussion in this paper is that of Jason (38), a factory worker. After reading the case, the first thing we would want to know is whether Jason is an addict. There are two symptoms that must be looked for before an individual is determined to be an addict. These symptoms are (i) out of control behavior, and (ii) a behavior that is self destructive. If a person’s behavior is under their control, then the person should not be considered an addict. It doesn’t matter at what frequency the subject engages in an addictive behavior. What really matters ...

Question 1. Why should Starbucks, Kraft, and Nestle create "ethical supply chains”?

The concept of ethical supply chain has grown more and more popular in the recent years. Ethical in this case should not be confused with legally right, since ethical considerations go far beyond legislation or business relations. Ethical behaviour is usually linked to social responsibility of the companies, which is embedded into their strategy and operations. In businesses related to the global sourcing of inputs, ethical behaviour largely depends on the fair trade concepts, which promote supporting suppliers in the poor countries in order to improve their productivity and enhance competitiveness (Barrar, and Gervais). Since supply chain is in ...

Abstract

In the movie Still Alice, Alice, a successful woman, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's Disease (AD) loses almost all she had. Alice’s case doesn’t typically fall under the traditional age bracket for the onset of Alzheimer’s because she is only 50. However, the symptoms she displays clearly fall under the earlier DSM-IV criteria of diagnosis. Under the new DSM-5 criteria, she would still be a fit case for Alzheimer’s because she has been experiencing a gradual decline in her autonomy. She loses control over her speech, mobility and motor functions until she becomes completely dependent on ...

Jasmine is diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which is the most common form of pediatric cancers. It is caused by malignant transformations that occur in hematopoietic stem cells, making them undifferentiated cells with increased longevity. In ALL, those cells are called lymphoid cells, and their rate of proliferation causes fast growth and destruction of healthy bone marrow. Because of Jasmine’s age, the chances for an initial remission can be estimated at 95 percent (Rytting, 2012). However, achieving a complete cure is not a likely outcome, and an open and honest communication with Jasmine and her parents about her condition ...

The technical factor that was responsible for McAfee’s software problem is that they failed to include “Windows XP Service Pack 3 with VirusScan version 8.7 in the test configuration of operating systems and McAfee product versions”. Another blunder committed by McAfee is that the users were not given a warning that “svchost.exe was to be quarantined or deleted, instead of automatically disposing the file”. Management could also be faulted for relying ...

He has others which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But finally, there are others which a man is afraid to tell himself, and every decent man has considerable number of such things stored away” (Wedding & Stuber, 2010, p. 134). This case is about the reminiscences of one such young girl.
An 18 year old girl, Dora who, since 12 years of age had been suffering ...
