Branding: The beginning for Gringo was particularly challenging. The company was founded in a country without an established manufacturing or entrepreneurial history, and where raw materials were sparse and infrastructure dilapidated. Mozambique, however, has plentiful, often untapped human resources. Gringo’s first steps were therefore crucial, and they were: to establish a firm corporate brand identity and company structure; to identify its core market; and, to begin creating and procuring products.

Case Study on Ethical Breaches at News of the World

The case discusses the questionable practices which were common at the tabloid and which eventually led to its fall. The newspaper resorted to hacking phones and bribing police officers in order to publish juicy news. The public backlash over the phone hacking scandal led to a dip in its advertising revenues and ultimately paved the way for the shutdown of the media giant.

Case Study of United Technologies Corporation

In July 2003, Pat Gnazzo, vice president of Business Practices for United Technologies Corporation (UTC), sat at his desk in the company’s Hartford, Connecticut, headquarters considering the challenge of integrating 46,000 new employees into UTC’s global ethics and compliance program from the recently acquired Chubb plc, a United Kingdom-based leader in security and fire protection services.

Although Gnazzo had faced many difficult issues since he had taken over business practices programs for UTC in 1995, this challenge was unique. Simultaneously integrating this volume of employees—who were situated in a variety of different cultures across the globe—would be a monumental task, especially since Chubb’s ethics and compliance priorities were not on the level of UTC’s.

Case Study of The Unicomp, Inc

John Lungren wasn’t sure what to do. Three years ago, fresh out of his MBA program with astrong background in finance and accounting, John had been hired to work in Unicomp’s financial department at an unusually high salary. He quickly displayed his financial and communication talents and by the end of his second year had been made Special Assistant to theVice-President of Finance, Tom Krill.

John had married, acquired a home with a sizable mortgage, and he and his wife were expecting their first child. Given his promising future atUnicomp, being deeply in debt hardly mattered.Now Krill and Unicomp’s President and CEO, Frank Percy, had asked him to prepare a report justifying the acquisition of Comptech, a small company that manufactured IBM-compatible microcomputers. Normally John would have welcomed the assignment, but this one made him uneasy.
