1- The internal and external stakeholders that are positively and negatively affected by Hp’s approach toward anti-sweatshop polices are internal stakeholders. Which are the employees and owner’s Employees have more of a positive effect for their safety and role of employment; such as hours worked. Owner’s positive effects are more for the long run. If employees perform better and have a better work environment the profit for the owner can increase. Owners may also have negative effect for the cost of work environment; for example the tens of thousands of dollars spent for employees’ ear protection. 2- Out of the six general environment forces that influence HP’s approach towards its suppliers would mostly be towards international force that is the changes in the economic political, legal and technological global system that may affect an organization. As while as Political-legal forces that are changes in the way politics shape laws and laws shape the opportunities for and threats to an organization. Trying to educate local suppliers can help HP’s in regards of helping the Chinese manufactures prevent labor and environmental abuses. 3- By using the four approaches to decide ethical dilemmas, I evaluated that it is ethical for technical companies to create and impose the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct standards on organizations around the world. The EICC basically ensures that the working conditions for the employees are safe, and that they are treated with kind and respect that they deserve. The four approaches to deciding ethical dilemmas are basic guidelines that discuss ethical behavior in ways that deal with respect, fairness, and rights of human beings, long term interests for individuals and results that include the greatest good for the greatest number of people. 4- HP is being socially responsible. Social responsibility which is a manager’s duty to take actions that will benefit the interest of society as well as of the organization. HP’s activist has moved social responsibility up the tech priority list. The HP have a responsibility to society; basically taking responsible attitude and following simple moral to improve HP’s work environment and industry. 5- Kolhberg’s three level of moral development are preconventional-follows rule, conventional-follows expectation of others and postconventional-guided by internal values. Out of the three I evaluate Bonnie Nixon-Gardiner postconventional (level 3). Level 3 managers are independent souls who follow their own values and standards, focusing on the need of their employees and trying to lead by empowering those working for them. Bonnie had many different ways to improve the industry as while as the employees. It seemed as if she felt the strength of employees is the strength of the company.
