According to the Ferrell, Fraedrich and Ferrell (2015)text, ethical issues in a business setting only arises, when an employee decides to exercise their own ethical beliefs in order to accomplish a goal within the business. In this case, there were several behaviors that were not ethical. ARC had a great deal of trust in its staff.

Case Analysis/Ethical Dilemma April 8, 2018 By Brittany Prestage Ethics are moral principles that help us distinguish between right and wrong. In business, most companies have a code of ethics that the employees go by when making their everyday business decisions and how they treat their customers. Because everybody in the world does not carry the same values, employees and employers often face ethical dilemmas. In this paper, I will discuss an ethical dilemma that a business faced and how it related to my brother, who has a disability.

Another key reason for the organization’s ethical dilemma was that it had not updated its code of conduct to address today’s leadership and employees. Additionally, the ARC had problems handling large sums of money from donations due its use of outdated technology, and there were several executives who were considered overpaid which created a negative image to stakeholders. “Executive compensation is a controversial subject, and it is rarely far from the media’s gaze.

This meant that instead of paying 45% social charge that is the standard in France the organization were paying 10.75% which is the standard in Ireland. Ryanair tried to argue the point that they worked for a company that had a registered company in Ireland along with spending most of their working days on Irish registered planes.
For instance, with the global financial crisis and later the Eurozone crisis, the number of travellers has significantly reduced due to economic hardships. This has affected the profit levels of the airline as well as slowed down its growth prospects. The airline also faces intense competition from other low cost airlines forcing it to extensively invest in product differentiation to counter the competition. This is an expensive
2.0 Inputs - Transformation Process - Outputs 2.1 Inputs Operations management concerns with the conversion of inputs into revenue-creating outputs through the transformation process (Mahadevan, 2010, p.5). Slack et al. (1995 cited in McMahon-Beattie and Yeoman 2004, p.30) mention that inputs are divided in transformed and transforming.
