The class discussions will occur each week. By day three of each week (Thursday), students must respond to at least three of the instructor’s topics/questions. By the last course day of each week (Monday), students must post replies to at least three classmates’ posts. All posts should be at least 75 words in length. Responses are to be thoughtful and well-written (grammar, spelling, etc.). Late or missing discussion posts will not receive credit.

• With advancements in technology (communication, transportation…), you have heard it said that the world has become increasingly flat. Companies can now easily set up operations in a variety of locations around the world. Has this reduced unions’ power?
• Do you think “employment-at-will” should be abolished or modified? Why or why not?
• If you become the new manager at an organization with high employee turnover, what actions would you take to increase retention?

• Discuss the statement, “If management gets a union, it deserves one.”
• One of the objectives of the MOL program is that students will develop a personal philosophy of ethics that will guide their personal and professional decisions. Based on your life experiences, beliefs, and values, as well as what you have learned in this course, state your “personal philosophy of ethics.” Provide at least three primary principles or values that will serve as the foundation of your philosophy. Also, be sure that your philosophy is broad/general enough to guide you through a variety of different situations that you might encounter throughout your personal and professional life.
