magine if what you were putting in your body, wasn't really what you were putting in your body. It is unethical to target uniformed consumers. They have no idea what they're body unless someone tells them. If it does not state it on the bottle they should not have in on the shelf. Targeting an uniformed consumer is like targeting a deer in headlights, they still will not know.

Robert Manning, the manager of one SportsMax retail store in Chicago, is currently facing an ethical conflict in regards to his budget submission. As a store manager, Robert has the responsibility of ensuring that his store meets or exceeds the company's budgeted profit. If he exceeds this profit, he is eligible for a bonus equal to 10% of actual profit in excess of budgeted profit. However, in order to achieve this bonus, Robert might be tempted to overestimate his sales revenue or underestimate his costs. This could lead to inaccurate budgeting and put his store at risk of falling short of the company's expectations.
Part 2 Occupiers' liability in Australia The defendant in this case , Xerox Supermarket , has an very important role which is identified by the Australia law as an occupier. Hence , I will try to refer to the occupiers' liability law and relative regulation ,especially from the passed legislation of Western Australia , South Australia and Victoria .

However , it can provide the judger a more practical and accurate view on the possible liability of the supermarket as a typical premise of retailers .
¬¬-Corporate ethics comes at a price- one that either businesses have to absorb or consumers have to pay for. Too often consumers complain about big business, but then shop at Walmart because the small, family owned stores are more expensive. However, people still drink it. Not only do businesses need to be held responsible, consumers do as well. If there was not a demand, Coke would discontinue the supply.

I believe Targets’ highest management employees are taking an individual approach to solving an ethical dilemma. According to Kinicki and Williams (2013), an individual approach “is guided by what will result in the individual’s best long-term interests, which ultimately are in everyone’s self-interest.” It is good for Target in the long term, but it may not be what is best for Targets’ suppliers. If Target's’ business model helps them gain market share and gain a competitive advantage it may be good for the suppliers in the long term, but it is uncertain. In my opinion, using the size of their market as leverage to have the suppliers solve their own problems seems wrong.
Panera Bread: Ethical Competitive Analysis Panera Bread is presently a recognized as a leader in the fast-casual type of the restaurant industry. However, despite its status, Panera Bread should understand the potential new entrants in the industry by conducting a competitive analysis of the fast-casual sector. The company can conduct an ethical and appropriate analysis by studying major and successful players in the restaurant sector currently dealing in unrelated food products. These companies are probable entrants in the market since they may attempt to introduce new product channels to boost their profits.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY As we defined above that social responsibility is to protect and enhance well-being of living things. Every organization is socially responsible to protect the environment and they can do there much which is legally required for the organizations.

If the firm cannot earn profit no social need and social responsibility can be met by the firm the firm fails.
According to the utilitarian benefits theory, Starbucks’ actions are unethical as the actions of Starbucks result in greater harm than good for the society. Small coffee retailers are providing more to the people of the towns that they are located than Starbucks does as those small local coffee retailers offer reasonable priced for their coffee. People would prefer to have a reasonable priced coffee to Starbucks’ overpriced coffee. Even though, there might be some people who would be happy to have Starbucks instead of their small coffee retailer but the majority of the people still enjoy their local coffee (Katie , 2013).
Fast food companies have demolished competition throughout the last 30 years in the restaurant industry. The practices used to eliminate competition such as using unhealthy food to make a profit have been reported unethical by Americans, but it tends to be desired by the American society. According to the American Franchise Corporation, certified by TrustArc, fast food companies generate $570 billion annually in the United States ("Fast Food Industry Analysis"). These statistics continue to rise as more and more fast food companies become ubiquitous. As a result, fast food companies get richer, while people contract life-altering health effects.
