For this module, you are required to submit Case Study 2, "Discussion Case: Alcoa’s Core Values in Practice," at the end of Chapter 6

 

Alcoa has always had a strong values-based culture. Two of Alcoa’s values center upon health and safety. As with any large, diversified organization, it is not easy for values to be shared and practiced consistently throughout all units. Although it was agreed that Alcoa was in compliance with appropriate laws and regulations at one of its Mexican plants, charges were made that Alcoa did not live up to its core values of health and safety.

Respond to Discussion Questions 2 and 4

Question 2 what role did top management commitment play in developing the ethical work climate and organizational performance seen at Alcoa? What other ethical safe guards are mentioned in the case to support the company’s efforts at developing a strong ethical culture?

Question 4 Can the focus on safety seen at Alcoa be duplicated into other ethics and compliance arears and how would this be accomplished?

 Keep in mind to integrate the core Values University that you believe should apply to this issue. Responses for each case discussion question should be in paragraph form and be approximately 250-300 words in length.
