The Best of Intentions Summary of the Case

The case study is all discussing about the case of the well-known organization named as the Ag funds and the full name of the organization is Ag finds financial service which is involved in providing the financial service in the entire re4gion for accommodating their customer in well manners.  The Ag fund is located in the Arkansas United states of the America the organization is providing the financial services to the farmers of the region.  The services are provided for the corporation of the farmers. There were the few employees who were working the Ag funds.  The case is all about the discrimination of the Ag funds which is occurring just because of the mismanagement. Cynthia Mitchell was performing as the rising stars of the organization. There are many other people who are performing their duties in the Ag funds and they are named as Peter Jones, Cynthia Mitchell and Steve Ripley (Schimmelpfenning, 2010).

 They all are performing their duties in arrange manners. Steven Ripley was an impressive young man with the age of the 24.He has educational background with bachelor degree in finance.  The Cynthia Mitchell has personal experiences at the Houston in her job. The organization was facing the several issues as; the abilities, qualities and potential for the specific position has been founded in the Steve Ripley but the many people of the staff and peter did not want to hire him for this position just because of black. The major discrimination which I securing in the Agfunds that is related to the Merit vs. Minorities and colored and women. The discrimination with an organization can destroy the infrastructure of any organization particularly discrimination based upon the color and gender based (Alfen, 2014).

You may or may not agree with Cynthia Mitchell’s decision to place Steve Ripley at a position where his downfall was certain not because of his job-ability fit or performance Analyze what should Cynthia Mitchell do?

At the AgFund the Cynthia Mitchell is the impressive employees as well as clearly bright. But her rationale idyllic might be the downfall for her, as the District manager Arkansas. For her incredible performance she rose by ranks in very quick step, in an Ohio region as the sale representative. For the motivation the small part of the performance is the attribute for her, that she also drew with getting the Indiana opening as she is graduated for her training program in AgFunds. For the position the most qualified is, as a district manager for the Indiana branch, as eth Mike graves is hired for the applicant of lesser due to the don think. In this region, the customer would not respond as the sale representative for women.to prove him wrong the discrimination fueled  the Cynthia as the Ohio branch as well as her performance that led to her to become the youngest district mangers in the AgFunds over a struggling Arkansas branch when she was promoted to take. If a bit inexperienced her new employees seem to be very capable (May & May, 2012).

I am not agree with the decision of the Cynthia Mitchell’s to placing to placing the Steve Ripley at a positioning of the certain downfall because she is placing him just because of his colored not according to his job-ability for the fit of the performance. The bias is creating just because of the decision of the Cynthia’s and her own experience of dissemination creating bias according to his decision. The Cynthia Michel must be take decision about to hiring according to his ability rather than his color and the discrimination can destroy the culture of the Ag Funds (Bowman & West, 2014).

In this “Analysis” section, discuss as many important OB related issues you think are or could be related with the issue. For example, if there’s a discrimination of any kind, how does it affect the organizational culture?

The main issues in this case are;

Discrimination between employees

On the grounds of the gender; At AgFunds various territories of the business is conservative as well as the customer were comfortable in the women business. Even the Cynthia is more capable as compare to the Bill Hawkins that is selected for the coveted position in the Indian Northern due to of same.

Now on the ground of the race, in several different districts the racial prejudice is not existed, as the customer is unwilling for the working purpose by the people form the black race. As the whole organization as well as the persons they led them to their failure, because they don’t trust them. A year’s top trainee, the Steve Ripley was black that was thought not assigned as the role of the Arkansas in the district for the citing of the same reasons. The AgFunds has made the little effort to reforming the attitudes of the customers as well as to supporting the minority representative for the cultural difference along with the Racial to strong influence the AgFunds decision that present the show racial biases.  

Now the issue two is;

Dictating the hiring policy; supposed the Customer Prejudices

The deciding resource of the deployment for the organization policy is the effect of the resource utilization that the customer supposed in the irrational outlook. Meritocracy is forced, in the bargain that take to back seat during the cases where the discrimination is in play (Alfen, 2014).

What is the level of ethical decision- making required when managers’ fiduciary obligations requires them to make decisions that violate their own personal ethics.

Decision making in the AgFunds Company influence the discriminatory of the customers. The minorities of the issues is evident by the company that having the low expectation for the blacks which is becoming very successful. Explanation as well as analysis for the ethical level of decision making in the fiduciary obligations will be made that based on the expert obligations.

Cynthia offered the Steve job due the right qualities as well as, the well-educated candidate. To influence the decision making if the Cynthia refers the discriminating customer, to hire the Steve it might be put the AgFunds Company in the risk of the discrimination claim  (Boghraty, 2018).

What should be done to manage demographic and cultural diversity?

To manage the cultural diversity as well as demographic, as manger there are some serious ethical issues, when it deals with the demographic diversity. By considering the both post future and past, the Cynthia spend the next few days. For first time she realized that in what way protective the ivory towers .The main thing that would be to understand how the diversity is the strength of the organization (Schimmelpfenning, 2010).

Recommendation

The AgFunds should plan the long term motto as well as suppose it as the part the mission statements of the AgFund. That is equivalent to the tolerance as well as equality for all.  The long term motto shall be indirect socially relevant task. For the mangers the sensitivity of the program is designed that must be provide the insights for the tolerance as well as sensitivity in the different business district. The sensitive program should focused on the sensitive districts which formulate the policy deal by a same , for going forward the discrimination that is exist , and AgFunds also create the employee opportunities. The AgFunds must add the standby work by the trainee pools, who can distributed as, the relevant openings. Review of the company should evaluate as the part of the policy. Now for the personal review of systems its marketing strategies as well as advertising strategies, in addition to the products which being offered in the faltering markets (Boghraty, 2018).

In the analysis for the various weak areas it will help to improve on the same conditions. The change in the promoter needs the gradual approach. The motto of tolerance is spread as well as acted on it as the better approach for the instincts acting. As compare to deal with the societal intolerance being a practical that is not affected on the AgFunds standing. The prejudices are adapted that is necessary for sometimes as well as the risk of blatant could be avoided , if the resources are not used then it would more specific for the demand of the organization in the better way (Hammaker & Knadig, 2016).
