Choose one of the following two assignments to complete. Do not do both assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission.
Option #1: Your Diverse Organization
Congratulations! You have been given a lump sum of $2.5 million by a generous angel investor who is willing to support your dream of expanding your U.S business overseas to an African country of your choice. While there is much to consider in regard to developing a strong business, one of the most important aspects of business development, from the investor's point of view, is creating a diverse and inclusive organizational culture.
In order to receive any of the funds, you are required to present a detailed paper to the angel investor (i.e., your instructor) that includes the following information:
Information about your company, with details about its mission, vision, values, and purpose. Remember that this information should reflect your organization's commitment to diversity and its high ethical standards.
Details about how your organization will be inclusive of staff, both in the United States and in the African country of expansion.
Details about how creating an ethical culture that focuses on diversity will enhance your organization's operations, productivity, and profitability.
Four well-developed workplace policies that promote ethical and diverse behavior (e.g., demographic, cultural, thought, etc.).
A well-developed plan for how leaders and managers will address conflict related to ethics and diversity and which encompasses an explanation of how this plan uses effective conflict-management skills.
How the success of the expansion to your African country of choice will be assessed for effectiveness. Please include an explanation of the cultural challenges you might encounter in this country (using Hofstede's dimensions).
Write 2600(not including the required title and reference pages).
Include a formal reference page.
This is an individual paper; however, you should reflect on our discussion forums and incorporate ideas from there, as appropriate.
You must support your analysis with at least 12 scholarly references which can include resources from this course. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find credible sources. You cannot use Wikipedia or any CSU Global assignment. For this assignment, a credible source is defined as:
A scholarly or peer-reviewed journal article.
A government-based website or publication.
A trade or industry journal article, publication, or website (including those from trade organizations, such as SHRM.org and TD.org).
Option #2: Organization in Trouble
While strides have been made to promote ethical and diverse behavior in organizations, there is certainly room for improvement. For this assignment, conduct research on a U.S.-based company that has come under scrutiny recently for unethical behavior involving international work, such as using child labor in a foreign country or discriminating against foreign workers in leadership roles.
For this assignment, include the following in your paper:
Information about the company you selected, with details about its mission, vision, values, and purpose.
Be sure to note anything you find about the organization's commitment to diversity and ethical standards (if available).
Details about the unethical actions that occurred.
Ramifications of the unethical actions on business outcomes (i.e., profitability, brand image, organizational culture, etc.).
Recommendations for four well-developed workplace policies that promote ethical and diverse behavior (e.g., demographic, cultural, thought, etc.).
A well-developed plan recommending how leaders and managers should address future conflicts related to ethics and diversity and be held accountable for managing conflicts. Explain how the successful implementation of your plan will be measured.
