Unit 8 – Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility – Sandwich Blitz
This week’s Assignment consists of viewing a scenario about Sandwich Blitz, Inc., reading an article about integrity in leadership, as well as the assigned chapter readings, and writing a two-page double-spaced paper. Each Sandwich Blitz location is situated on very small parcels of land. This original strategy has contributed to somewhat lower operating expenses for the business and both Dalman and Lei view this as a competitive advantage. Based on new local health codes, new laws have been issued requiring trash dumpsters be a minimum distance of 30 feet (9.144 meters) from the rear entrance of the building. New land-use laws require that all out buildings be at least 6 feet (1.8288 meters) from the property lines. The enclosure that houses the trash dumpster is 5 feet (1.524 meters) from the property lines, which is in violation of those laws. The government inspector has told the unit manager that he would be willing to approve this if Sandwich Blitz provides the food for his department’s holiday party. The location manager has conveyed this information to Dalman. The integrity of a business organization and its leaders is a universally accepted component of business ethics. In his article “Rethinking Integrity” Stratford Sherman outlines eight ways in which business leaders can manage a business organization with integrity. After reading the Sandwich Blitz scenario above, visit the KU Online Library and read pages 39–45 of the following article: Source: Sherman, S. (2003). Rethinking Integrity. Leader to Leader, (28), 39–45.

In order to meet the health county codes, the enclosure that houses the trash dumpster would have to be five feet from the property line. The zoning inspector has told the unit manager that he would be willing to turn a blind……
