Christian Worldview and Operations Management

Biblical or Christian world view is the way of life that is based on the teachings and preaching of Bible. If a person considers teachings of Bible as the standard to be followed in life and he tends to decide what to do or say according to them, then he is apparently following Biblical worldview. God selected to let those rules oversee God's creation, moderately than God requiring altering the course of those heavenly laws.

Accordingly, wonders do not occur and God is "Wholly Other", comprehensive superior from mortality, with unconditionally no nearness among persons. One conceivable logical importance of deism is that since God doesn't have to be complicated in humanoid businesses, then we actually don't essential God at all. Disbelief can quickly be acceptable from a technical, logical and even intelligently religious viewpoint.

Another offshoot of modernization is fundamentalism, which first increased importance in the early 20th century. On the outward, while deism and fundamentalism seem to be conflicting excesses, they portion many conventions. Most apparent is the ethical and psychic potentials originate within humanity that reflects the personality of God.

The foundations of Christian theology are expressed in ecumenical creeds. These professions of faith state that Jesus grieved, expired, were suppressed, and were resuscitated from the dead in order to grant everlasting life to those who have faith in in him and faith in him for the reduction of their immoralities.

The faiths further uphold that Jesus physically rose into paradise, where he reigns with God the Father. Most Christian coinages teach that Jesus will return to judge everybody, living and dead, and to grant eternal life to his supporters. He is reflected the model of a righteous life. His ministry, execution, and renaissance are often mentioned to as the "gospel", meaning "good news”.

Biblical View influences me when I try resolving ethical dilemmas which I confront in my personal or professional life. I try to define my moral values according to the basics elucidated in Bible.

This leads me support and feeling that I am doing the right thing. I do not follow practical ethical values in resolving ethical dilemmas because they are mostly derived from convenience and ease of application rather than following the right path. Bible influences me to a great extent for knowing between the right and wrong and also between the two rights and thus I always arrive at a best possible solution.

The Macdonald’s case

Strict liability allows the injured party to seek reimbursement from whoever was accountable for the product being faulty. Contrasting negligence, the injured individual does not need to determine who precisely failed to do their responsibility. But the only circumstance is that the merchandise must be defective and irrationally unsafe which is not the case here since the coffee was mentioned to be hot. Negligence is the only way to win this case because basis it will require to find the person or party who was really accountable for the product being faulty which can be made clear after comprehensive examination and hence manufacturer of the jar can be found to be negligent. Also, Efforts to limit warranties don’t matter on a negligence entitlement.

Utilitarianism

Utilitarianism is a normative ethical theory that places the locus of right and wrong solely on the outcomes (consequences) of choosing one action/policy over other actions/policies. As such, it moves beyond the scope of one's own interests and takes into account the interests of others.

Act-utilitarianism –This principle is applicable directly to the all the alternatives in the situation to be analyzed. The rationale of right or wrong is justified based on the act which brings out the best results. The right act is then defined as the one which brings about the best results.

Rule-utilitarianism – This principle is applicable to justify the validity of rules of conduct or the moral principles prevalent in the society. These rules are defined by society and established going by the ultimate consequences I brought to all the stakeholders. For example keeping a promise is right and breaking it is wrong.

These two kinds of applications pertain to a very methodical approach which clearly lays out the steps of evaluating the various alternatives of an ethical resolution. The crux of the theory is that the person applying utilitarian approach needs to make sure that the decision he makes brings maximum good to maximum people related to that problem. This approach however misses out a point of being ethical. The main objective is to basically “do the right thing” according to the basic virtues. A right thing is right no matter what the outcomes are. For example: telling truth is a right thing even if hurts or distresses all the people related to it. Lying to them might bring more happiness to them and lead to greater good but the fact is that it is wrong to tell a lie and thus utility of the act cannot be the basis of any act that tries to be ethical.

The Advancement Moral

Kant’s theory is a case of a moral philosophy according which the appropriateness or wrongness of activities is not contingent on their penalties but on whether they achieve responsibility. Some kinds of activities (comprising homicide, robbery, and deceit) are unconditionally banned, even in circumstances where the act would fetch about extra pleasure than the substitute. For Kantians, there are two queries that a person needs to ask himself is he chooses to act: (i) Will I want others to act in a similar way? If the response is no, then he should not execute the deed. (ii) Does my act respect the goals of anthropological existences rather than just expending them for my individual drives? Yet again, if the response is no, then he should not go for it (Martin, 1970).

For Example: According to the Kantian Analysis, the acts of selective disclosure of the information about an organisation or a person might feel right from a privacy perspective but there in a fine line between what is private and what needs to be publicly disclosed. A person cannot just choose to post all positive information about himself or his company on an official source. Though websites like Facebook and other social networking websites can allow users to post only favorable content but this norm cannot be followed when a person or an organisation presents itself at an official source. Thus, the right to internet privacy can only be exercised when it does not mislead people or society and does not hamper their interests.

Concept of ethics and business operations

Business operations can be carried out in the following manner keeping ethics in mind:

1. Be Authentic : leaders should reflect themselves as the way they are in real life and try not to pose themselves as larger than life creatures because subordinates tend to learn and emulate their leaders who are real and make mistakes as real human beings (Nish, 2005).

2. Listen : it is incredibly important for any leader to really listen to others in order to make people follow them when they are speaking. This attribute makes people around them feel valued and thus in return they command respect from them. Also, good listeners do not miss details and come across as flawless managers. This is particularly important when the subordinate comes up with a morally confusing situation (Nish, 2005).

3. Measure : The intensity of the moral dilemma should be very clear in the mind of the leader or a manager so that he can weigh in the problems and consequences that will result from the ethical dilemma. There is a need to analyze the delicate balance between over-reacting and underreacting in order to resolve the problem amicably. This will lead the leader to undertake a comprehensive analysis to frame a very well defined approach to resolve the conflict (Harrington, 2007).

4. Define morals : True managers and leaders are the one who have a clear and very focused approach towards defining the morals and ethics. They do not compromise on these morals once they know what they stand for. This aspect is important for a person to know when he faces an ethical dilemma and what he needs to do (Harrington, 2007)..

5. Take a Stand : leaders should never be afraid to speak their mind out as it is one thing to be diplomatic but other to be reluctant to express the views. Also, it is advisable to take stand in the scenarios involving ethical and contentious issues so that the followers know what you think and try to associate you with a particular ideology (Nish, 2005).
