Business Ethics and Corporate Governance - Sanjay and Jason Case Study - Management Assignment Help

Assignment Task:

SHORT CASE STUDIES:
On-time Delivery 
Sanjay works for the maker of a high-end battery that is favoured by many electronics manufacturers. Two weeks ago one of their high volume- but also high maintenance – clients placed a larger order with Sanjay for these batteries. Sanjay promised four-week delivery, as that is what he was told by manufacturing. The client called today, saying he just wanted to confirm the batteries would be delivered on time, as he would have to shut down his assembly line if they were late. Sanjay knows, due to shortages elsewhere in the supply chain, that there is a 50/50 chance the batteries will now be late. He is sure the client would go ballistic if he knew, cancelling the order, even though Sanjay still hopes the deadline will be met. He is thinking of just saying “everything is on track” until he has more specific information that the shipment will be late.

Q: Is this the right thing to do? What do you think Sanjay should do? Why?

Falsifying Attendance 
Jason, a Junior System Administrator with the Management Information Systems Department, clocked in 4 minutes and 27 seconds late for work this morning. While he won’t get fired for it, being late this once means that he will not receive the perfect attendance incentive which he needs to make ends meet, given his daughter’s recent series of hospitalizations. It’s not that Jason didn’t make an effort to be there on time. He actually arrived in the office five minutes early but was unable to clock in immediately because his direct superior, Raffy, asked him for an informal project progress report as soon as he walked in the door. 
As a Junior System Administrator, Jason has access and the capability to edit the company’s attendance records. He figures that since he was unable to punch in only because of his boss, it wouldn’t hurt to edit the timestamp on his attendance for today.

Q: Has Jason done anything wrong? What should/could he have done? Justify.

Rumours
A few months ago, Arielle Cruz, Head of the Sales and Marketing Department of Mariposa Real Estate, formally announced to her staff that she will be leaving the company in order to be able to concentrate on her family. She emphasized that since she will be leaving, there is room for a promotion and that she would nominate their two top performers, Mary and Jane, to the HRMD. In an effort to give herself an upper hand, Mary closes deals with three big clients two days right after Arielle’s announcement. 
Two weeks after Arielle’s announcement, stories about Mary’s promiscuity begin to make their rounds and quickly become the mainstay headlines of office gossip. The most scandalous rumour is that Mary offers sexual services to her clients – in order to close her sales. In the face of all these rumours, Mary continues to deliver excellent work.
The time has come for promotion of the candidates. Based on performance, Mary is the better candidate (but considering the rumours, she doesn’t deserve it). However, both could equally do the job.

Q: Should you consider the rumours? What do you think is the ethical action to do? Who should Arielle select?
