Question no: 1Analyze any of the practices mentioned in the case that support Apple in

promoting employee diversity and employee empowerment.

The term "empowerment" is used to suggest that one or more employees from a particular
organization stand out from the rest. Experience, age, and education can all contribute to
these differences. When a company first began hiring employees of various ages, with
various levels of training and field experience, this diversity of agents creates a learning
environment in which a specialist can gain knowledge from the experiences of other
employees. For instance, the multinational corporation "Apple" provides a wide range of
products. In the United Kingdom, Apple is a significant company. Apple employs a group of
workers from various age groups. Knowing how to navigate across various environments.
Apple received assistance from a variety of employees in working on various modalities.
Apple employees’ responsibilities and job implications are highly precise and detailed down
to the last detail. Each project is broken down into tasks, with a person in charge of
completing each one. The DRI (clearly responsible individual) is the person in charge of the
task's consequences. Apple's teams are divided into limits rather than divisions, and these
social gatherings are responsible for the ability, progression, and improvement of these
limitations (Lesniak, 2016).
At Apple, development collaboration is standard, with these groups working on tasks in
parallel, connected together and channeled by the ET gatherings. Apple's Current Design
department sits atop the company's several departments. This is to ensure that the best-
designed hardware models are transformed into genuine items without being enhanced or
twisted by engineers. Apart from finance, no other department at Apple has a profit and loss
statement because they recognize that profit and loss statements obstruct progress. Because
finance is a unique constraint in and of itself, requiring engineers to study it and be bound by
the financial ramifications was seen as limiting their potential to advance. Everything about
the strategy has been thoroughly researched in order to create the best possible environment
for advancement and collaboration among employees and divisions. The design, according to
Jonathan Ive, a former Apple chief design officer, engages a large number of people to
interact, move, and converse (Shakhtarin, 2018).
Each development an employee engages in during the work day is represented by a place
called a unit at Apple: case for office work, case for cooperative effort, case for blending, and
so on. Even the CEO does not receive an incongruent scenario when these units are passed
on. It's everything but respectable as a method of providing flexible space for various types of
work. Apple has consistently ranked first in customer loyalty statistics for a reason. This is
almost certainly because Apple's success and improvement are dependent on client feedback.
Apple's use of analysis deems to be a particularly important technique of collecting client
contacts. Customers who have made a purchase receive surveys through email from the
company (Hwang, 2017). Apple recognizes that while one social gathering of people can
build something that can address and work for a large group of people, it should be done by a
different social gathering of people. There are distinctions between things and work at the
upper and lower levels of the leadership structure. For various yields or things, there are
senior VPs and VPs. This is used to regulate express things or thing fragments that the
organization intends to pass on in a reasonable manner. The thing bunches are small, and
each gathering is in charge of one thing. These gatherings have short cutoff deadlines and
brief accomplishments. - taking into account the ET's decision and learnings on the project's
progress. Rather than doing things in a regular order, the leaders do things in a similar order.

Question no: 2 How is Apple using Caux Principles in the business? What is your advice
for empowering Apple’s employees?

Various methods for advancing and enabling employees should be implemented in the
"apple" human resource department. A division known as the "human asset office" exists in
every company. This office's primary goal is to recruit and manage representatives in a
group. This department is in charge of dealing with any difficulties that arise among
employees. The human resource manager made enormous efforts to understand and handle
worker difficulties. Workers are the cornerstone of any enterprise or organization, and their
efforts cannot be disregarded. An organization must also keep a close eye on its activities and
problems. If the administration of a company overlooks its representatives, it can lead to real
outcomes. As a result, the human resource division is now responsible for overseeing worker
issues. It is the responsibility of the human resource department to manage a wide range of
jobs while maintaining professional ethics. In view of the fact that a human asset
administrator is attentive to deal with issues related to morals and expert obligations of an
organization, there are numerous methods that can be obtained while working as an asset
individual. HR's role in assessing moral leadership is clarified in the following key
translations (Moore, 2018).
For starters, the human resources chief should have enlisted the help of other people. It's a big
job to find reps. An organization's ability to recruit the right person for the right job is critical.
The first and most important step for human resource directors is to find the right people for
the job. This denotes the appropriate employee for the job. When a group decides to hire
representatives, they must hire trustworthy people because every group has its own set of
security concerns. Furthermore, because no one is completely trustworthy, the human
resource manager must evaluate an individual's character, professional talents, and
trustworthiness at the time of hiring. When a company decides to join, the HR department
employs important strategies and ways to evaluate competitors using those arrangements.
They evaluate the individual from a variety of perspectives. They increase the representative's
usefulness. If the human resource administrator need some exceptional qualities that would
be beneficial to the organization, he would choose to recruit (Nagamia, 2015).

To increase representative efficiency, the human resource office should propose a variety of
arrangements and systems that can improve worker productivity. If an HR administrator
notices something that isn't appropriate or beneficial to the organization's reputation, he will
choose to investigate the matter through a request. They make wowing clients a top focus for
each and every frontline agent, not just a small handful at base camp. Instead of conducting
infrequent fulfilment audits, they regularly solicit feedback from their clients. These
criticisms are commonly used by workers to plan and work on their projects (Tang, 2020).
Apple also conducts employee polls every few months as a supplement to this effort.
Employee commitment is a primary goal for front leaders and division heads, rather than
being the responsibility of HR. The supervisors of these representative studies look into them
thoroughly. Worker center gatherings aid in the identification of major areas of disagreement
and the generation of suggestions for solutions to these problems. The organizations carry out
these suggestions right away. Representatives can also bring issues to the attention of top
management (Hariri, 2021).

The two overview projects are inextricably linked. Both necessitate continual education, and
the client experience complements the employee experience. Workers learn how to dazzle
clients through client overviews, and both reps and clients feel fantastic the entire time. The
Promoter Flywheel is another name for this cycle, which has shown to have excellent
financial performance.
Apple is well-known for providing exceptional benefits to its employees. Apple offers
tremendous price reductions on its products, ranging from 15% to 25%. Every employee at
Mac gets a present on a regular basis, ranging from an iPod mix to an iPhone. Even retail
facade representatives attend a significant number of learning opportunities, group events,
and exercises, which allows them to maintain a high level of motivation. These events are
used by Apple to reward and recognize its top performers (Saengchai, 2019).

The story of Apple's success is enthralling to witness. The organization has been a laboratory
for product development and excellence since its inception, thanks to Steve's initiative. This
one-of-a-kind quality is replicated in massive quantities. The fact that Apple is the world's
largest manufacturer (not just of electronic goods, but of all kinds of manufacturing) -
generating 2.6 times the revenue that Microsoft generates from its equipment – exemplifies
the magnitude of this sum.

Apple can only sustain this force with a robust and consistent commitment system. Apple has
set itself apart by quickly adapting to new market demands and delivering things that satisfy
people' purchasing desires. The basis for this present organization's successful journey are a
strong authoritative culture, visionary leadership, goal-setting, advancement, and a quality-
oriented approach.

Evaluate various approaches to the ethical conduct of Business and community

outreach

When an organization gains diversity, it undergoes a wide range of transformations. Field-

tested solutions are consistently accompanied by workers who are familiar with a variety of
populations. When a company hires a diverse group of people, they help the company
advance by adopting a multi-disciplinary approach and learning. They also raise varied ideas
based on their experiences. Departmental gatherings and ability hunts provided extra
opportunity for generating creative ideas. As a result of their age-related meetings, workers
from various age groups aided an organization. The organization's young and skilled
employees took on tasks that demanded a lot of time and effort. Workers in the older adult
age group took on responsibilities that required prior experience and dynamic understanding.
More experienced adults, on the whole, handle board and dynamic tasks in the best possible
way (Ivanova, 2019).

When an organization recruits people from many societies, diversity is also beneficial. People
from different societies were recruited by global organizations because people from different
societies can help an organization communicate with people from different countries. Social
diversity also allows for the development of new business areas. We now live in a world that
is constantly evolving. Nowadays, e-marketing is commonplace. Sell items all around the
world for international organizations. In different countries, organizations require their
central figures. In such cases, the organization enlisted the help of people from the countries
where they needed to expand their product market (Kosar, 2015).

Question no: 3 Analyze any four unethical activities that you found in the case study
as per the 6 ethical approaches studied by you.

Regardless of the notoriety associated with Apple, the company has been linked to a number
of unethical actions that have harmed the company's ability to provide products and services
to its customers. The company should function in a public-facing way and participate in
activities that contribute to the climate's overall financial stability and security. As a result,
this article aims to dissect the Apple Company's unethical activities in detail, as well as to
identify some of the potential consequences of these unethical practices. The investigation is
complete after considering the MAN2100, which describes the moral obligations that the
organization should uphold (Tang, 2020).

Infringement on workers' rights and labor regulations is one of Apple's unethical activities.
This is demonstrated by the extended hours its representatives must labor to complete their
duties. For example, reviews conducted in the firm revealed that the reps worked for over 60
hours per week on average, with a few working for more than six days in a row. Furthermore,
the group is involved in the work of children under the age of 15 and provides false
information in their records. Representatives are paid lower salary as compared to the length
of their employment, thereby abusing their rights.
The case of the Foxon employee, hazardous residue, apple's ecological risks, and apple
workers' self-destruction are the four instances of this contextual analysis that revealed
apple's dishonest activities. Morals are the rules and laws that every given community has
imposed. Morals are a set of dos and don'ts that have helped a community create diverse
norms for the betterment of society. In the world of business, there are certain rules that must
be followed by every businessperson. There are standards about working together that are
associated with virtues in business ethics. In this case, variation aided an organization in
communicating with a different population. Because of the cultural diversity, an organization
has the opportunity to learn about other cultures (Hariri, 2021).

Requirements and practices can help them create items based on the needs of other cultures.
If a human resource manager discovers something that isn't good for the industry's or
organization's reputation, the human resource manager will inquire about it on a pressing
basis.
If any organization wants to attain genuine success, it must consider both variety and morals.
In order to maintain long-term relationships with employees, an organization must consider
both of these factors. Variety aided an organization in pushing creative ideas and morality
aided an organization in advancing a strong image of an organization in the commercial core.
The business market is a global reality in which everyone knows everyone else.
Organizations that do not have a good reputation cannot survive in a market. While
conveying on the lookout, an organization's reputation is crucial, therefore convey every
single moral guideline. Indeed, even a small business is exposed to a diversity of societies,
nationalities, and educational levels, and can help to build future business opportunities by
ensuring variety and morals in the workplace (Moore, 2018).

Indeed, Apple should be held responsible for the events at Foxconn. If an incident of foxon
apple occurs as a result of its dishonest strategic methods, it is the moral duty of authority and
HR to deal with their representatives. A financial manager's moral responsibilities include
assessing how a firm is shaping up, ethically assessing matters related to employee
recruitment, and morally assessing matters related to exchange and marketing. An
organization owes duty to its consumers, investors, representatives, and community to
demonstrate legitimate and moral concerns. First, he expressed grave moral concern about the
recruitment of employees. Throughout history, organizations have favored dependable
employees. Following their recruitment, worker's organizations educated them on how to act
morally in professional settings. Only those businesses that are open and honest with their
customers achieve long-term success. Organizations that want to gain the loyalty of their
employees and the trust of their consumers have always emphasized the importance of ethical
business practices (Hwang, 2017).

Nigeria, for example, is generally regarded as one of the world's most densely populated
mechanically non-industrial countries, lavishly endowed with abundant human and natural
resources. In any case, there are substantial differences in terms of variety and ethics. Issues
involving individuals who are important assets to a company and should be monitored by the
company's management. Regardless of the type of organization, individuals' acts, inactions,
or neutralizations are likely to pose a threat to its corporate image, presence, and extreme
durability.
