Ethical Climate Power
In order to establish an ethical climate at Paradigm Toys I would use a reward power. There are multiple reasons why this power is the most effective at this time. For starters the buy-in and support for this program is critical and must come from every manager, supervisor, and executive. In order to achieve this a method must be chosen that everyone can apply, and the reward power is the easiest. Also, the reward power is one of the best powers for quick changes.

Importance of Ethical Leadership
An ethics audit is an in-depth look at the formal and informal cultural systems in a business to determine if they support ethical behavior. The value that this can bring to a company is ensuring that the cultural systems support ethical behavior.

When looking at their Code of Ethics I will focus on three key areas. Those areas will be corporate social responsibility, compliance with legal mandates, and facilitating the development of an ethical culture. Let us first look at corporate social responsibility. When looking at Amazon’s Code of Ethics, nothing jumps out in regards to corporate social responsibility. It seems this topic is completely missed in the Code of Ethics. I do believe Amazon is fairly good at corporate social responsibility, they do not include it in the Code of Ethics and should add at least something.

With twelve separate sections that all deal with following laws, rules, and/or regulations I can say that Amazon’s Code of Ethics is very strong in the compliance with legal mandates. Finally, let us look at facilitating the development of an ethical
