The right wing conservative general public feel that these products have caused enough harm to the global economy and should be completely banned and suspended the market from trading anymore. This is a view also shared by the European authorities as they…

It is important for a project manager to understand the balance between the three triple…

When using information systems, it is essential to ask, “What is the ethical and socially responsible course of action?” A MODEL FOR THINKING ABOUT ETHICAL, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL ISSUES Ethical, social, and political issues are closely linked.

A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said. From time to time Winston caught some such remark as 'I think you're so right, I do so agree with you', uttered in a youthful and rather silly feminine voice.…

This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994.
