1-7 Assignment: From Issue to Persuasion
Part 1
I major in business and through research and my personal experiences various issues
elicit varying views from all the stakeholders. Leadership especially in business organizations is
highly complex and requires adequate data and resources to make decisions and implement
strategies that ensure balance and avoid any harm to all stakeholders for instance, employees,
owners, customers, financiers, the government, and others. One of the major issues faced by
business management is the choice between profits versus social responsibility. On one hand,
some avenues say that businesses’ main responsibility is to provide goods and services and only
focus on making profits. As such, all the decisions made by the top management should focus on
reducing costs, becoming efficient, producing more products, and maintaining a growing revenue
trajectory. On the other hand, regardless of the products or services they provide, social
responsibility as a business has acted as an orientation for leadership across a range of industrial
sectors. Companies of every type, from large corporations to tiny ventures, have voluntarily
chosen this approach, which goes beyond just following legislative obligations. According to my
observations, companies whose activities are closely associated with environmental concerns and
the goal of environmentally friendly growth tend to raise ethical questions more often. The
ethical environment demands more examination and a more considered process for making
decisions since the effects of decisions go far beyond short-term financial gains to include wider
social and ecological ramifications.
The second issue that I believe challenges business leaders is employee background
screening and monitoring, especially considering the importance of data privacy and
confidentiality. On one hand, background checks help companies to detect possible dangers,
2
such as those with a history of violence or criminal activity, and assist in guaranteeing a safe
workplace. Employers make better hiring decisions with more knowledge, particularly when it
comes to roles requiring access to corporate assets or sensitive data. Employers may better
adhere to legal and regulatory obligations by conducting background checks, particularly in
sectors where some businesses have mandates for background checks. On the other hand,
because background checks may contain personal information unrelated to the employment, they
might violate someone’s privacy. There is a chance that some background checks may unfairly
target certain demographic groups, which might lead to discrimination. Minority populations, for
instance, could be more prone to have unfavorable experiences with police enforcement.
Background investigations may not provide all the details about a candidate.
Part 2
In my persuasive essay, I will write about the first issue which is the choice between
profits and social responsibility and in this case, I will argue that business leaders and owners
should do more than make profits. In this light, I would provide details to prove that participating
in social responsibility benefits the business unlike what is believed to be, an additional
unnecessary expense. This topic is very useful for my audience which in this case includes
business leaders, policy makers, and stakeholders who determine the paths corporations take. I
have discovered that socially conscious businesses usually carry out voluntary initiatives that are
valued highly by the pertinent community and are not specifically mandated by legislation. This
highlights that businesses are more inclined to deal with ethical dilemmas if their operations have
a direct bearing on the environment, sustainable growth, and, ultimately, the well-being and
health of others which often face tough choices about how to strike a balance between the need
to maximize profits and their responsibilities to the environment and public health.
