Organizational Culture and Ethics Role

 1 page using Organizational Culture and Ethics Role to write about this:

August 21, 2017 – The Great American Solar Eclipse. This was an event that many people were anxiously awaiting and preparing for. Companies began selling, and some giving away, eclipse glasses for viewers to safely look at the sun during the eclipse. A few weeks before the eclipse, it became known that some of the glasses sold/given away may not have been aligned with the proper ISO safety standards; this caused major recalls of these potentially counterfeit glasses. In the news we heard about the major recalls from Amazon and some other companies, but there was little mention of the manufacturer of the glasses: AgenaAstro ; follow the link to learn more about this company. A link to one of the articles about the Amazon recall is also posted here for further context:  Amazon recalls potentially hazardous solar eclipse glasses.

 

This task is to write the “press release” from the perspective of AgenaAstro. Use Organizational Culture and Ethics Role to write a one-page (single-spaced) press release that briefly explains what this recall means for the company, its stakeholders and the community at-large. Remember, your contribution to this press release should be 4-6 sentences focused on information from the perspective of your role.

**Organizational Culture and Ethics Role: This role analyzes situations from a perspective of the organizational culture and the commitment (or lack thereof) to ethics/social responsibility. How do these things affect/influence the situations presented in the case? Potential solutions should be developed in line with the organizational culture and its commitment to ethics.**
