About this AssignmentWhether they realize it or not, managers make many decisions every day that can directly or indirectly impact their customers, employees, stakeholders, shareholders, and the company's reputation. When making these decisions, managers need to be aware of the legal and ethical implications their decisions may have on others. Some decisions have an obvious impact, such as bribing a government official to secure a contract or falsifying financial documents to make the company appear to be more profitable to shareholders. Other decisions are less obvious, such as hiring one person over another simply based on a 'gut feeling' or ignoring a problem on the team in the hopes that it will work itself out.For this assignment, you will examine a real-life ethical dilemma managers have faced in the past. Please write a 1,500 to 2,000-word paper that addresses one of the following dilemmas.In 2015, Volkswagen was caught in violation of United States' emissions standards for vehicles. The automaker designed programming that would allow their vehicles to pass laboratory emissions tests, when in reality, their vehicles were emitting up to 40 times the legal emissions limits. Examine the company's decision to engage in these practices and what the fallout for the company was after the practice was discovered.In early 2017, the ride-sharing company Uber faced several scandals. A former employee posted a blog where she described her experience with gender bias and harassment while at the company, and their new self-driving car technology dangerously failed as it ran a red light while a passenger was crossing an intersection. Examine what decisions the company made that led to these issues, and analyze and evaluate how Uber responded to them.For the situation, please address the following:Discuss the decision-making process employed by management to address the ethical dilemma, if it was in fact addressed.Show how management decisions impacted employees, leaders, stakeholders, and shareholders of the organizationExplain the public relations and media strategy the organization used to address the ethical dilemma.Using SourcesYou may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least three resources and cite them using APA format. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in APA format, including the lesson title and instructor's name.Primary sources are first-hand accounts such as interviews, advertisements, speeches, company documents, statements, and press releases published by the company in question.Secondary sources come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Management Ethics, the Journal of Management Studies, or the Harvard Business Review. You may use sources like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and EBSCO to find articles from these journals. Secondary sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.)

consider the example used in the instructional materials above. You are an administrator whose responsibilities include a cardiac unit. Because congestive heart failure (CHF) is a high volume condition for your unit, you want to have a better understanding of some of the drivers of length of stay (LOS) for these patients. After a brief review of the literature, you find that several of the key factors affecting patient LOS for CHF are: the number of medications the patient is on upon admission, the duration of intravenous diuretics, and the number of comorbid conditions. You are also interested in whether gender affects LOS for your patient population. You ask a colleague whom you know to be familiar with statistics to perform separate, simple regression analyses regarding LOS and each of the factors of interest. Using the framework LOS = intercept + slope*key factor, your colleague presents you with the following results:LOS as a function of the number of medications upon admission:Intercept = 5.2Slope = 0.15LOS as a function of the duration of intravenous diuretics:Intercept = 5.1Slope = 0.25LOS as a function of the number of comorbid conditions:Intercept = 5.0Slope = 0.4LOS as a function of gender (when the patient is a male):Intercept = 5.85Slope = 0.05Prepare an informal cheat sheet for yourself indicating the predicted LOS for each of the following:What would LOS be for a patient admitted taking 0 prescription drugs? A patient taking 3 prescription drugs? A patient taking 6 prescription drugs?What would LOS be for a patient receiving intravenous diuretics for 0 days? A patient receiving intravenous diuretics for 2 days? A patient receiving intravenous diuretics for 4 days?What would LOS be for a patient who has 0 comorbid conditions? A patient who has 3 comorbid conditions? A patient who has 6 comorbid conditions?What would the LOS be for a patient who is male? A patient who is female? Use a “dummy variable” to isolate the impact of gender on LOS. To do this, assign males the value of 1 and females the value of 0 when conducting your analysis.
