UNV504 Introduction to Graduate Studies in the College of Business Week 4 Discussion DQ1 According to Colangelo (1999), “education and experience will teach you how far you can trust your intuition” (p. 26). Additionally, in his video interview , Mr. Colangelo shares his outlook on a variety of topics such as business ethics, personal integrity, and professional development. Describe any key takeaways you have as a result of watching the video. As an entrepreneur or business person who is responsible for making decisions that impact your organization both internally and externally, describe how you make decisions when they conflict with your personal ethics and instincts? What personal values and ethical standards do you consider most important when making decisions? Provide an example that you have experienced or observed that supports the idea of trusting your intuition and ethical beliefs. DQ2 Successful companies try to maintain a positive relationship in the community in which they do business. In the textbook, Colangelo explains that representing your core values in the community wins loyalty to your brand and attracts new customers (p. 62). Entrepreneurs should remember that part of a company’s stewardship includes socially responsible actions in the community. In what ways do organizations gain trust and show they are socially responsible stewards? How is trust lost and how are reputations damaged? Discuss examples of companies that are socially responsible and have earned the trust of the community. Conversely, discuss other companies that have lost the trust of communities and damaged their reputations through social irresponsibility. What will you do to ensure that your organization maintains a positive reputation in the community?
