In the classic boomerang, a violation against human rights is committed by the state causing internal and external protests to occur, the state is then pressured to succumb to the demands of the people and enact change (Godoy, Feb 07). When applied to the Wells Fargo/Seattle case the boomerang misses the initial step because abuse has yet to happen and the final step because Wells Fargo did not follow the demands of the protestors. In Latin America, the boomerang was a powerful tool used to tackle civil and political rights violations. One such occurrence was in Guatemala, where Nike contracts factories to make their apparel.…

Wells Fargo has recently been in the spotlight recently for unethical behavior of employees, as well as socially irresponsible behavior at the corporate level.

These accounts were opened without explicit consent of the customers involved so that sales goals could be met. Sales goals were attached to incentives for employees, so motivation was provided to employees that had the means to commit these fraudulent actions. Soon after these revelations came to the public’s attention, it was also discovered that Wells Fargo was violating laws and regulations regarding…
Fontaine and Gaudin did not really object successfully or forcefully to the hardball tactics employed by Hauptmann and Zinnser.

Even so, Fontaine and Gaudin were not nearly forceful enough, and should have noted that they were making significant concessions already and were unwilling to go further. Hauptmann and Zinnser were using hardball tactics, and their style can thus be described as competitive.…
Berkshire Hathaway: “Trust” and Laissez-faire Management Berkshire Hathaway, under the leadership of Warren Buffett, is one of the largest conglomerate by revenue in the world. It has earned successful achievements and growth from the size and diversity of its asset base including insurance, gas and electric utilities, rail roads, wholesale distribution, manufactured housing and many other specialty finance companies. Looking at the number of acquisitions made by Buffett, this indicates something remarkable about Buffett’s management and governance approach. Unlike what has been typically adopted in the corporate world, Berkshire Hathaway takes on a non-traditional laissez-faire and trust approach – a hands-off management style that requires minimal guidance from leaders and provides employees…
