Topic: Video Critical Thinking & Reasoning

Discuss your initial thoughts about the solution/challenge/aspect presented in the

video (110)

The video focuses on the aspect of ethical integrity in a business organization. Before,

the concept of ethics was not clear to me. I had the misconception like many that ethics and

ethical considerations only comes when any crisis arises or if any situation has any moral

questions related to it. I felt that like any other department in an organization ethical integrity

too has some specific tasks to perform like creating work ethics and values and maintaining

the impression of the company (Mintz, 2016). Now I realize that, ethics in organization has a

far more important role to play and the success or failure of an organization largely depends

on it.

Present what you would do different in terms of the solution presented in the

video (111)

The video presents the solution for ethical integrity as being transparent. Other than

that communication is also another solution for the problem. If I have to come up with

another solution that would solve the problem of any organization regarding ethics, I would

create a team of experts that will make an ethical guideline for the organization. This

guideline will be in alignment with the values and objectives of the organization so that they

do not clash and create further confusion (Crawshaw et al., 2013). This guideline them will

be communicated clearly to the employees and they will be given full disclosure on what is to

be expected from them in terms of ethical behavior.

Relate the content of the video to one of the CLO’s in the course (58)

In maintaining and promoting the organizational ethical integrity, the role of the both

the Human Resource Management and the leaders of an organization are of utmost

importance (Kolk, 2016). The content of the video is related to ethical consideration and

governance of an organization as well as the role of leadership in an organization that we

learned in the course.

Include the industry example demonstrating the application of your researched

video

The video demonstrates the industry example of the company Lockheed Martin, one

of the most successful organizations. The organization maintains high ethical integrity and

the leaders and HR perform their duties in an ethical manner. They communicate their ethical

considerations regularly (SHRM Foundation., 2016). The Ethics department is always at

work to ensure that they maintain their high ethical values that have become the very fabric

of their organization.
