Imagine you have been working for a company for several years. Your company is trying to reinvent itself and one of the areas being considered to explore is the company’s organizational behavior. To spark discussion among colleagues, you have been asked to create a presentation that outlines the organizational behavior within a health care company.

Using the company selected in Week One, create an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that addresses the following:

• Describe the strategic role and purpose of organizational behavior for the company selected in Week One.
• Identify the organizational factors of organizational behavior for the company selected in Week One.
• Identify the impact, including the strategic approach and application, of organizational behavior for the company selected in Week One.        
• The company that I selected in week one is Johnson & Johnson     

Cite 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references to support your presentation.

Format your presentation according to APA guidelines. Include a title page, detailed speaker notes, and a references page.

Describe some trends in long-term care that have resulted in older people receiving services in settings other than nursing homes. What societal and policy factors have influenced these changes? Discuss the options for a client who does not wish to move to retirement housing but prefers to stay in the large, mortgage‑free home in which she has lived for 40 years but can no longer maintain. What might be some options available to this client? Consider these options in light of varying socioeconomic factors.

You have recently been hired in the newly created position of Vice President for Ethics and Regulatory Compliance at a rapidly expanding technology company that is headquartered in the United States. It employs about 15,000 people worldwide. The company has been in business for about 20 years, and its growth has largely been fueled by the global expansion of the Internet and, in more recent years, smart phone market penetration into second- and third-world countries. Your products include hardware, software, and telecommunications infrastructure (satellite and terrestrial); however, in addition to manufacturing, a significant portion of your workforce is dedicated to the service sector in the form of customer sales, warranty registration and service, and intraorganization mid-level management.

Your position has been created because the organization has grown far faster than anyone anticipated, and faster than any one person or department could competently manage. There have been allegations of both inappropriate organizational and individual behaviors, ranging from stolen intellectual property to environmental damage in other countries. None of these has yet been proven, though the legal department is currently involved in litigation in state courts, federal courts, and several international jurisdictions.

Although the company tried several years ago to develop an Ethics Guidelines section as part of the employee handbook, business opportunities and global expansion were changing so rapidly that drafts of the guidelines were either quickly out of date or no longer applicable to the organization.

The board of directors has hired you to address their ethics problems. They would like you to address the task of developing a set of guidelines (applicable to both individual employees and the organization as a whole) that reflect the technology and telecommunications industry, legal and regulatory guidelines in the domestic and international community, and consumer sentiment about perceived appropriate organizational behaviors.

In a thoughtful, detailed essay, describe the following elements:

• The things you would need to consider
• The steps you would need to take to develop a set of ethics guidelines that will meet the current needs of the organization, as well as anticipate the ethics issues that will likely emerge over the coming decade

Keep in mind that this is a planning document, not a final set of ethics guidelines. Thus, the focus of your paper should be on the sections noted above, not a set of defined ethical behaviors (e.g., All employees will be required to sign an intellectual property agreement.).

Your paper should be well-organized, use section headings and subheadings, include citations and references where appropriate, and conform to APA (6th edition) formatting guidelines.
