  • Title: Exploring the Ethics of Organ Sales: Examining Exploitation and Regulation

    Recall your readings in Topic 1 regarding human organ donation and sales. In the article, “Kidney Shortage Inspires A Radical Idea: Organ Sales,”
    https://lopes.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com.lopes.idm.oclc.org/docview/399092881?accountid=7374  
    Dr. Francis Delmonico believes that even a regulated human organ trade would be exploitative because “it’s the poor person who sells” (Meckler, 2007). Answer the following questions:
    Do you agree that allowing a poor person to sell an organ is an exploitative practice? Why or why not?
    What documented examples from real-life organ donors can you provide to help you demonstrate how a regulated human organ trade would (or would not) be exploitative?
    If you were writing your definition essay on the term exploitative, how would you define it?
    You may revisit the Human Organ Donation and Sale Resource List from Topic 1 for resources. Be sure to cite all sources used to compose your answer. Format your in-text citations and reference list entry according to APA Style.

  • “Sustainable Supply Chain Initiatives and Collaboration in the Fast Fashion Industry: A Comparison of H&M and Zara” Introduction: The fast fashion industry has been under scrutiny for its environmental and social impacts, leading to a growing demand for sustainable practices.

    A) Include at least TWO companies (from the same industry) in your analysis and B) together compare & contrast the reports of the individual firms, including:
    1. Reporting approaches used by the firms (e.g., use of the GRI framework, UN SDGs, any other frameworks, etc.),
    2. Primary supply chain-focused ESG initiatives (at minimum environmental and social)
    3. Approaches to ensure suppliers are in compliance with codes of conduct (governance)
    4. Goals and performance (across the companies, particularly in regards to similar initiatives such as reduced water use, etc.)
    5. Company-level collaborations with NGOs. Which? Why?
    6. Industry-level SC and ESG initiatives: are there initiatives that are ‘larger’ than an individual firm and being implemented at the industry (or an industry association) level to address sustainability issues and reduce risk to creating value? Is the industry working with any NGOs on initiatives? Which? Why?
    7. Which form is performing best? How did you determine the best performer?
    Using the SC Disclosure Radar and SC Transparency Matrix diagrams in the ‘What’s Your Strategy for Supply Chain Disclosure’ (SCM-SUST introduction pdf file) article can be a helpful way to organize your information and assess the firms.
    ALSO: (8) As a foil to the individual companies’ self-reported information, spend some time researching what other organizations (e.g., NGOs) have to say about the individual company and industry activities, checking to see if they are engaged in potentially harmful activities not mentioned in their report. Comment on these issues (or the lack of them), being sure to cite their sources. This section is now titled, “What are they REALLY doing?” after a suggestion by students in a recent offering of this course.
    (9) Finally, what did you learn in doing this assignment? What was new/surprising for you?
    The report should be about 1,500-2,000 words. Using tables to organize information is strongly recommended, especially items 1-5. Do include an introduction section that highlights the industry you’ve selected, the firms you are including in the analysis, and the most important sustainability issues facing that industry. Also, include in the introduction include your primary findings and take-aways. There is a sample paper from 2022 (sustainability in supply chains sample pdf file).Please follow that sample format and read the attached textbook “Supply Chain for Operation dummies pdf file(scmfd)” on chapter 19 to understand the material better. Additionally, some lecture notes and articles are also attached( “SCM-SUST introduction” and “get ready for more transparent sustainable reporting” pdf file) to assist you in completing the assignment. Also, some TED talks video link regarding ESG if needed: https://www.ted.com/talks/ray_anderson_the_business_logic_of_sustainability?showsSubtitleTooltip=true

  • Part 2: Business Plan Questions and Considerations

    Answer questions for part 2 of business plan by following part 1 of business plan will be linked below
    1. In choosing a form of business ownership, the key issues are control, transfer of ownership, taxation, liability, access to capital, division of profits, and how easily the business can be started and closed. Given these considerations, will your startup be a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or limited liability company (LLC)? Write a few sentences about your decision and the main reasons it makes sense for your new business. Think ahead to your “exit strategy,” meaning having someone else take over the business in the future or taking the business public after it has grown to a significant size. Would you need a different form of business ownership for your exit strategy? Write your answer in a sentence or two.
    2. List a few of the major expenses involved in the startup of your business and the main expenses you expect to face as the business continues (equipment, inventory, etc.). Based on your answer to Question 1 and your list of expenses, which sources of funding, in general, do you anticipate using as you begin your business? Will the same sources be available or appropriate later, as your company grows? Write a couple of sentences about funding your startup in the context of the form of ownership you plan to use.
    3. Have you looked into becoming a franchisee? Explain whether franchising would be a good possibility for your startup, and why. Are there any disadvantages to franchising, given your strengths, interests, motivation, financial situation, and industry? Would being a franchisee enable you to better meet customers’ needs or compete more effectively in your chosen industry? Would it affect your access to capital and credit? What changes would you have to make to your business plan if you choose franchising? Write a few sentences about the possibility of franchising. If you decide your business will be a franchise, revise your business plan to reflect that decision.
    4.  What entrepreneurial characteristics and personal factors are important to your success in this startup business? Also consider your motivation and the industry in which you will be operating. Summarize, in a few sentences, why you believe you will be a successful entrepreneur, and how you are suited to the industry you’ve chosen. 
    5. Review your answers to Part 1 as you write two or three sentences about what your business will offer. What product (good or service) do you plan to market? Who will your customers be, and how will your product satisfy their needs? What are the current trends in the industry? Are businesses entering or leaving the industry? Are businesses in this industry generally struggling or profitable? Write a few sentences about the company and the industry, and how your business might prosper as a startup in this situation.
    6. Before you’d go into business with any partner, you’d carefully investigate the company, right? So put yourself into the shoes of a potential partner evaluating your startup. Look over what you’ve written in Parts 1 and 2. Then list at least two new questions you would ask about this startup before agreeing to become a partner. For example, you might focus on some aspect of the industry, competitive or economic challenges, the form of ownership, or the entrepreneur’s ability to succeed in this business. As a potential partner, would you have confidence in the future of this business? How would you strengthen the business plan? Explain your questions and answers here.
