Managing Change Ethically

Assignment 1: Managing Change Ethically

 

You work for Comus 9, a clothing company that has a hugely popular ready-to-wear line. Your company is thinking about a feasibility study on outsourcing its key manufacturing operations to Bangladesh, where cheap labor cost will give Comus 9 the margin to survive in the face of increasing competition. There is a possibility of downsizing the current workforce in Comus 9 to drive down its cost component. You have been asked to prepare an introductory report on the key ethical issues involved in the change process, which Comus 9 will initiate if it decides to outsource.

 

Use the Internet to examine organizations that have successfully managed change events involving downsizing, offshoring, and outsourcing.

 

Create a double-spaced, two-page introductory report identifying how leaders in Comus 9 need to ethically manage and administer the change events of downsizing and outsourcing. Include the following in your report:

• Possible ethical dilemmas related to downsizing, offshoring, and outsourcing
• Feasible solutions and strategies for the dilemmas related to downsizing, offshoring, and outsourcing

Analyze the dilemmas from a leadership perspective.
