After a lead test was carried out, one of the components that was used to manufacture the toys was found to have levels of lead that were higher than the regulated amount for children aged seven and below. These high levels of lead posed a great hurdle to the organization especially since the firm’s major clients are elementary schools.
There are a number alternatives that when implemented will absorb some effects of the set back. However, these decisions will not prevent the organization from losing money; instead, they will provide an alternative to enable the retaining existing clients.

- Explain the difference between ethics and morality.

Morality refers to a person’s personal set of principles which they adhere to as they conduct themselves each day. These morals may be the result of upbringing, religion, or other personal factors. Ethics also guide a person’s behavior and conduct, but come from a code of conduct prescribed by a larger organization or society. Thus, morals come from internal factors and ethics come from external factors. There may be some overlap between the two. For example, murder is illegal and thus unethical, but can also be immoral if a person believes murder is wrong because it says “thou shalt not kill” ...

Also part of what makes it intimidating for me is that I think that the skill of knowing when to take risks and when not to take risks is not something that can be effectively learned from school or from reading books.

Unauthorized access is not the only security challenge facing the healthcare management. ...
