Part 1 (Post this response in the main U5 DB thread “Unit 5 Discussion Board”)

Businesses created in the United States are required to comply with U.S. laws and must act ethically. Recall that the law creates a minimum amount of behavior obligatory by businesses in humanity, whereas ethics requires more. Ethics is a major consideration in examining the actions of managers and the function of business organizations. An ethically minded business focuses on the following:

• Integrity: Focusing on the character of the individuals involved in the decision or action
• Consequences: Focusing on good and bad decisions
• Duties, obligations, and principles: Focusing on fairness, justice, and respect for individuals and property

As the manager of your restaurant, you want to have a clear understanding of how to handle ethical issues that arise. You conduct some research and discover there are six steps to ethical decision making. List, explain, and give an example of the six steps of ethical decision making that businesses can follow. Then, choose a business that you believe acts ethically and is socially responsible. Once you select a business, provide examples of how your company is acting with social responsibility.

Part 2 (Post this response in the appropriate topic within U5 DB)

You decide that your restaurant is going to be socially responsible by implementing a corporate social responsibility plan. Under this plan, your restaurant is going to perform a series of fundraisers, donate leftover goods to homeless shelters, purchase only locally grown produce, and so on. Based on the first initial of your last name, complete the following:

• First initial M–Z: Provide an argument that supports the decision to implement the corporate social responsibility plan for the restaurant. Provide research, legal terminology, and cite a legal case to support your argument. Submit your position by posting in the Unit 5 Debate Forum under the FOR topic.
• First initial A–L: Provide an argument against implementing the decision to implement the corporate social responsibility plan for the restaurant. Provide research, legal terminology, and cite a legal case to support your argument. Submit your position by posting in the Unit 5 Debate Forum under the AGAINST topic.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that allele frequencies remain constant across generations unless certain influences are introduced, such as nonrandom matings or mutations.

• Describe the Hardy-Weinberg principle.
• Are there influences that deviate from the principle? If so, what are they? If no, why?

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) profiling is a tool used in forensic investigation and paternity testing. This technique is often used by forensic scientists to identify individuals on the basis of their DNA profiles.

• How is DNA profiling performed?
• What are some of the novel uses of DNA profiling, other than those described in your textbook?

• Describe an example of balanced polymorphism, other than sickle-cell disease, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, phenylketonuria (PKU), prior protein mutation, cystic fibrosis (CF), and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS).

Genetic ancestry testing is becoming popular as more and more people are trying to trace their ancestry. Two different types of tests are generally offered, mitochondrial DNA, which traces maternal lineages, and Y chromosome testing, which traces paternal lineages.

IT 401 Individual Project 5

The final step in developing the Consultant’s Analysis Report on  Enterprise Systems is to provide an analysis of the costs and benefits  of the system and offer your final conclusions and recommendations to  the client. Sufficient information should be available in the report  sections prepared in previous weeks to allow final review of the  required resources and assign costs to the project. The benefits to the  client can then be compared to the costs and your conclusions given. You  will also further refine the plan to produce the final draft version  for the project. Updates may be based on peer and instructor feedback.

The following are the project deliverables:

• Update the Consultant’s Analysis Report on Enterprise Systems title page with a new date and project name.
• Update the previously completed sections based on your instructor’s feedback.
• Include the following new content:
  • Final Analysis
    • Summarize the resource requirements for the system required for  implementation. These resources should include development costs if the  system is internally developed or acquisition costs if it is an  externally developed system.
    • Assign costs to all resources.
    • Identify short- and long-term benefits to the organization in financial terms.
    • Compare and contrast the costs and benefits.
    • Provide conclusions and recommendations to the client.
• Consultant’s Analysis Report on Enterprise Systems final draft:
  • Review the entire document for any changes and improvements that you would like to make.
  • Ensure this final version of the document is sufficiently detailed to meet the requirements of the assignment.
