General Motors’ Failure to Consider Stakeholders

General Motors (GM) has struggled with its brands and its image. Over the years, it has jettisoned some of its once-popular brands, including Oldsmobile and Pontiac, sold many others, and climbed back from a 2009 bankruptcy and reorganization. The automaker was hiding an even bigger problem, however: The ignition switch in many of its cars was prone to malfunction, causing injury and even death. The faulty switches caused 124 deaths and 273 injuries, and GM was finally brought to federal court. In 2014, the company reached a settlement for $900 million and recalled 2.6 million cars.

The case exemplifies the tension between the concept that “the only goal of business is to profit, so the only obligation that the businessperson has is to maximize profit for the owner or the stockholders” on one hand, and the ethical obligations a company owes to its other stakeholders on the other. GM’s failure to consider its stakeholders and consumers when choosing not to report the potential for malfunction of the ignition switches led to an ethical breakdown in its operations and cost the company and its customers dearly. In addition, by treating customers as only a means toward an end, the company turned its back on a generation of loyal buyers.

Toyota Motor Corporation Research

I hope you remember, I worked with you on the Toyota Motor Corporation Research. Now I want to finish it with you again.

First there are a couple adjustment need to be made:

1-The problem statement should not take that long it should be only 5-6 sentences.

2-The research is A Problem-Solution Analysis and should follow it criteria

3-There should be more profound title to the research.

Please make these adjustments before we continue.

Now we go to the Data Analysis Sections. Take your time on doing this because it the bulk of the research. The data analysis must include multiple of “Source Synthesis” (which I’ll give you an example of it) and multiple of visuals.

Then we go to the conclusion and the abstract. What I want to you to do is work on the data analysis first then when ever its done send it to me then work on the conclusion and the abstract. Also you will have 2 weeks to complete this research. However, I would like to have 3 pages draft SOONEST possible.
