Assessment 3: Essay
ESSAY QUESTIONS:
You are required to write an essay plan (approximately 500-1000 words) and an essay (2500 words) on ONE
of the following topics. We suggest starting with the class materials on your chosen topic.
1. Sustainability – It is argued that planetary boundaries or limits are being approached, if not already
crossed, and that this has serious implications for the sustainability of humanity. These boundaries
are being reached because of our collective resource use and waste production
(http://www.stockholmresilience.org/research/planetary-boundaries.html). The issue is one of both
the numbers of people and the resources we consume.
Should we try to limit population, e.g. through the use of a one child policy, like China introduced in
1979 – why or why not?
Is the sustainability more an issue of how resources are used and distribution than of population?
Conclude with suggestions on what strategy planning is needed for the future.

Cultural differences that exist for international companies
Reply to the following post: When a company makes the decision to go international, they will need to transfer some of their employees to the new location. Transferring an employee overseas is a huge step for both the employee and the employer, and with that comes several things for both parties to consider. First is the issue of the geographic differences in the cost of living in a new country. “The employee usually gets allowances including cost-of-living, relocation, housing, education and hardship allowances” (Dessler, 2013). A company cannot just expect an employee to pick up and move their family overseas without having solid numbers to depend on, and they cannot be expected to foot the bill on their own. Second are the compensable factors, or “factors that establish how the jobs compare to one another, and that determines the pay for each job” (Dessler, 2013). Moving your company overseas means that the company will need to hire people in the new country as well. The new company will need to be sure that the employees native to the new country have the same qualifications and abilities as the employees in the home country. Third is evaluating the employees overseas as you would in the home country. The company needs to evaluate the employees that were transferred overseas to determine if they are performing as well as or better than they were performing in the home country, and make the decision to either keep them overseas or send them home. They also need to evaluate the native employees to ensure that they are on par with the employees in the home country.

Scenario Summary – Are We Safe
Scenario Summary – Are We Safe? “Wooden” is a large factory in Littlebury. Littlebury is a small town with a population of approximately 1,200 people. Wooden is the largest employer in the town. In Littlebury, everyone knows each other, as they are either related or friends. Wooden specializes in creating wooden objects from shaving and shaping logs. The factory takes in approximately 1,000 logs a day and operates on a 24/7 schedule. The activity generates an enormous amount of wood dust. There is dust at least an inch thick on all of the equipment, flat surfaces and ceiling rafters. There are some areas in which the dust could be as much as three inches thick. Wood dust is a combustible material and, given the right circumstances (ignition source, amount of dust, etc.), can be explosive. Also, inhaling fine wood dust can create respiratory illnesses. Employees have complained over the years about the dust, but the employer still has not created a method to frequently clean the factory. One day Karen, a co-worker, tells you that while she was operating her machine she noticed three quick sparks in the air near her work station. Karen informed her Section Manager about this incident, but the response was that she shouldn’t worry about it. She is now scared that the factory may explode at any moment. Your Assignment Your Assignment You are an employee at this factory. You have worked there for over 10 years and know everyone from the owner to the co-workers. This situation has you nervous as well, but you don’t know what to do because you do not want to get anyone in trouble. You decide to speak with several people at the factory. Based upon their responses (listed below), answer the following questions: 1. Would you report this situation to anyone else? If so, who and why? 2. If you choose not to report the situation, explain your decision. 3. What are the possible consequences if you were to report this situation? 4. What are the possible consequences if you fail to report the workplace condition? 5. Let’s assume that you have reported the workplace condition. Is this whistleblowing? If so, would it be morally justified in this situation? Key Players Jason Rhine, Safety Coordinator “There is no way an explosion could occur. Everyone knows that wood dust is not explosive. Karen probably just saw some type of light reflection. Look, in order to ease your mind, I will schedule a major clean up of the facility next month. Just sit tight.” Alex Riveria, Area Manager “Do not make any trouble. A major clean-up of the entire facility will stop production for at least two days. Just clean your work area. I have been in this industry for over 30 years, I know a dangerous situation when I see it. Let the experts handle this.” Karen Parse, Co-Worker Please contact OSHA. You can make a complaint and they will investigate and handle it. I can’t call since I was just hired two weeks ago. I cannot make any waves, but you have been here long enough. You won’t have any problems. I am so scared because a plant back in my hometown exploded about two months ago because of wood dust. This is really dangerous! Tony Lord, Owner “You cannot prove that there is an explosion hazard here. You should only come to me when you know definitely that there is a safety issue. I will consider anything else as slander against me and my company. I do not take too well to disloyal employees.” Activity or Assignment You will read the case summary, accompanying character descriptions and answer the questions. You should also write a two (2) page Word Document (.docx) outlining the rationale for your answers. The assignment must conform to APA formatting standards. You should include principles that you have learned so far in this course. Be sure to provide adequate information to support your decision.
