As you can see from your reading for the case assignment Lockheed Martin has a very interesting history and this history has had an impact on where the company is today with respect to its existing ethics program.Case Assignment write an essay that addresses the following:Lockheed has an interesting history that seemed innocent enough up until around the 1950s. You\’ll note on p. 56 of Terris’ book that the company began to engage in some questionable sales strategies with other nations in an effort sell the F-104 Starfighter so as to recoup costs when their US sales strategy failed.1.Describe some of the unorthodox strategies covered by Terris during this era that made Lockheed become \”…a byword for the shady practices of American multi-national corporations, and a major impetus for new legislation…\”.2.On the issue of overseas bribes, Terris asks the questions, \”Who was hurt by the [overseas bribes to secure sales of aircraft]? The competitors, of course, but what was unethical about beating out the competition that was playing by the same rules?” (p.59). What do you think about a situation where underhanded and back door deals are the way the game is played if everybody is on the same playing field? That is to say, if everybody is playing by the same shady rules, is it unethical to compete?In your reading you will note that defense contractors continued to find themselves in hot water well into the 1970s as a result of overpricing and additional charges of bribery. In the late 70s Lockheed established its first code of ethics and later the major defense contractors came to the table to level the playing field with the Defense Industry Initiative (DII), by agreeing on a set of ethical principles. This was an important turning point as was bringing Norman Augustine on board.3.Why was the DII so important to the eventual success of Lockheed Martin’s ethics program?4.Discuss Norman Augustine\’s and Dilbert\’s contribution in helping Lockheed Martin turn the corner with its ethics program.

A Critique of Lockheed MartinIn this assignment you will be asked to review Chapter 4, the final chapter of Terris’ book, and to spend some time applying your critical thinking skills in evaluating Lockheed Martin’s efforts.Case Assignment1.What do you think about the notion presented by Terris that Lockheed\’s ethics program does little to prevent ethical breaches at the highest level of the organization?2.Are the efforts put forth—such as making sure higher level executives participate in training—enough to help executives navigate what Terris calls the \’ethical minefield\’ faced by leadership in such an organization?3.What are some things that could be done to address the issue related to ethics at higher executive levels of the organization?4.Terris points out that the company\’s program is overly focused on individuals and that it doesn\’t really address group dynamics that can impact ethical situations. For instance, there can be a tendency for groups to ‘go with the flow’ of the group decision making process and overlook ethical issues in the process. What would you recommend that Lockheed Martin do to address this situation?

Ethics Program Implementation As you can see by your reading, a lot of energy goes into the implementation of an organizational ethics program. And Lockheed Martin has clearly allotted considerable resources to assuring their program is successful. In this assignment we’ll be focusing on what the company did to ensure the implementation of a successful program that was flexible enough to accommodate the changing needs of the organization.Case Assignment Please address the following questions:1.On p. 83 Terris discusses the company\’s ethics code. Why is the code considered important to the company\’s ethics program?2.Discuss the importance of ethics training and employee involvement. What are some of the things Lockheed does to make the training process interesting and worthwhile?3.How does Lockheed measure success with respect to ethics in the workplace?4.What are some of the things Lockheed does at the operational level to make their ethics program work?

Conflict in SyriaIn the summer of 2013, analyst Shamus Cooke asked if the growing conflict between the United States and Syria was becoming “Obama’s Iraq.” His observation that there were many similarities with the Bush administration’s run-up to Iraq in 2003 looked compelling. A full military invasion was avoided, but the conflict continues to simmer, and Clinton’s rhetoric on the issue is very aggressive. Using the 9 theories we have discussed thus far, which appears to be the most useful in explaining this current international conflict, and importantly, whether you believe that “humanitarian intervention” or “R2P” is even a legitimate international concept?I would suggest using realism or class system theory or the combination of the both would be fine as well.There is not limit on sources but I will attach the list of sources that are suggested.Also the 13 pages includes a title page, bibliography and abstract.
