The rest´s model of moral action is the one in which it is explain the four components of the ethical reason processes of individuals. It tries to explain the perception of people over what is good or bad and the cognitive process whereby the person go step by step to the end that is act ethical or unethical. To see briefly and clearly in an example, let´s talk about Osama and the 9/11 incident. Let´s suppose that the Dilemma of Osama was that: if he commit the attack, he is going to generate the third world war between his country and the world power United States, but if he do not commit the attack, his group Al Qaeda was going to removed him from the power, because he could be seeing as a weak terrorist (Ethical Sensitivity). Then he began judge the parts involve and the damage to the welfare of others, that can be to the enemies or to his pakistan village with the decision over the Dilemma he had (Prescriptive Reasoning). After that, he take a look insight him and think over his own values and believes, and also about his intentions with this act(Deliberative Reasoning), moreover if he has the intention to act after that process of think over it. Finally, he act after this whole cognitive process, doing it as a common behaviour or as an ethical act (Good or Right Vs Bad) that is the final step (Ethical Character).

http://valuestream2009.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/ice-cream-cones.jpg



The new tropical flavoured line of ice creams should be implement with an strategy of leadership in costs to stablish previously a strong competitive advantage, taking into account that the weather nowadays is hot and we are crossing by the problem of the global warming, we will exploit scale economies with well defined scopes in each country we will go in, because when we think in an ice cream, we want to feel refresh in a hot day, no matter your conditions are, when the sun shines a lot and you feel that the sun and the warm follows you to every part even to the shadows, an ice cream will be the best option and if the price is so competitive you can reach easily the entrance in a new economy. But what other things we must done to be successful with the new tropical flavoured ice creams in other countries or regions also? We have to take care of the design of the package of our ice creams and the design of the store too. First one to continue with the strategy of leading in costs, the package and the product must be small but not to much, seeking the ideal size that allow us to save money in the production and packing and still very attractive to our clients in the world. Secondly, in the store, it must be painted with tropical colors and with fruits by all walls, having ample spacesfor customers and if it can be outdoors with an agreable view, better. The music we will put inside the store or in the terrace or the balcony will be cumbia, electronic cumbia, folcloric and chillout, such as "Colombian Chill"(colombian band).

Beyond Pygmalion Effect



Fuente disponible en: http://inwiki.pabo-inholland.nl/_detail/pygmalion_effect.jpg?id=pygmalion-effect&cache=cache





" The role of managerial perception"




Going back in history and contextualizing the pygmalion effect, Pygmalion was a sculptor from the greek mythology who fell in love with a women painted in one of his own works, known as Galatea -as if she was a woman from the real world- because of his passion for his creations. Galatea who was the love of his dreams and the one who shows to be the perfect women for his life, thanks to the greek goddess aphrodite took own life to do justice to the love pygmalion felt towards his statue.

In a real life example which applies the personal overcoming of pygmalion, of create a well done work exceeding their own expectations to the point of falling in love with his creation Galatea, is in the work environment because the boss constantly has a perception of his peers and co-workers and treated each one of them based in this perception. Although the boss do not always communicate directly this perception he already has to their associates and colleagues, they perceive it the whole time. We can see this very clear inside any type of organizations looking forward to reach a special project or objective, but let contextualize it in a special real case to see it clearly. In the offices of the bank Occidente in different parts of the city, where each one of them has a boss, there is a lot of environmental stress in the employees, thta desmotivates the work teams, they need from their boss to perceive accpetance from he(the boss) and also he should seek for speacial motivations for them to make them feel as part of the body(company or project). If the boss reach this, the employees stop lookinf and felling just as subordinates and begin feeling that they beyond to the company or the project, so they constantly are going to exhibit high performance in their own roles and and began showing greater performance helping to solve problems that can appear to the boss that are not part of their roles but they know how to handle it. Leading at the end woth all of this to reach the anually objectives proposed by the central bank branch(bank occidente), which benefits directly to the head of the body(the boss) and likewise to his team(his employees), then the environment that creates the boss is always so good for them all.
