Using the CSU Online Library, identify an article on an ethical issue in the workplace. This article should include details of an ethical incident by an organization.
*Please utilize the article I have attached.*
Create a case study that addresses the following questions:

Please utilize the article I have attached.

This course focuses on strategies and innovation. In previous assignments, you had a chance to consider how your organization responds to disruption and specific areas of the Diamond E. Framework. Additionally, you reviewed strategic tools (PEST/PESTLE/Porter’s) to understand how competition affects different areas within the organization. 
In this assignment, you are the focus. Think about your buying habits and how strategic differentiation contributes to your selections. For example, does packaging matter, or are you more concerned with positive reviews from other consumers? 
Companies often create products and services based on consumer preferences and requests. What we often usually purchase depends on brand and or experience. During the pandemic, our choices shifted due to supply chain opportunities (e.g., availability).
As the consumer, write a 1-page summary, providing your responses to the prompts below which focus on product differentiation and cost advantage. 
What products/services do/did you use because of their differentiation? What causes you to have strong feelings about this product/service? 
What products/services do/did you use because they are less expensive? Why? 
Reflecting on your experience as a consumer, how would the product differentiation company retain you as a customer and how would the cost advantage company retain you as a customer? What difference in customer retention strategies do you expect from the two organizations?

Purpose: Explore your career plans by integrating your research, self-assessment (from Lore’s The Pathfinder and assessments that you have taken), and your expanded awareness from studying this subject intensively for about 3 months.  
Your Career Plan is the most critical output for this course. Using your readings and research and self-assessment activities, write a thorough plan for the next 5-10 years. What direction do you see your career taking and why? What are your major career goals? What are the opportunities and constraints? How strongly will your past point the way to the future? What developmental activities do you plan to pursue? What effect will the global marketplace have on your career path? How will you integrate your career with the other roles in your life? The Career Plan usually runs about 25 pages (including test results, tables, figures, etc.), but you may find that additional pages are necessary. This is the major deliverable from the course and should represent a very serious effort. Be as specific as possible using the supporting evidence identified above. Research support is critical. See additional ‘Career Plan’ information below.
The Career Plan is the most important project in HRM 630. The Career Plan provides the opportunity to integrate the knowledge that you have gained in this course (and elsewhere) applying it to your career, professional, and personal life. Your Career Plan integrates your new understanding of your career behavior based on the past and projecting into the future. The emphasis should be on the connection between self-knowledge (Drucker’s “take an inventory of self”) and your career goals.
The time horizon should be the next 5-10 years. Where do you want to be in your career? What are your specific career goals? How do you see yourself attaining them? What events in the past suggest that you will be successful in your quest? What roadblocks need to be overcome? What are your goals for a balanced life (whatever that may mean to you)? How important is the career in your life-space? How important is family in your life-space? What developments in the economy, business, and corporate worlds are likely to influence the attainment of your goals? What effect will the global marketplace have on your career path? If you did not have to pursue a work career (i.e., you are independently wealthy) how would you spend your time? How do you think that your career and life values will change over time?
Your Career Plan is not a traditional research paper. You are the subject matter, full of complexities and nuances, of this venture (adventure). Nevertheless, part of doing a comprehensive job with your plan is reviewing the available research on careers–including this research material is critical for a successful plan.
Evaluation–The Successful Career Plan
Obviously, you are in the best position to make inferences about your career. However, the effectiveness of your Career Plan will, hopefully, be enhanced through the application of your new understanding and recognition of the concepts and issues that are the focus of this course. As such the successful Career Plan will:
Be well-written and logically organized (approximately 25 pages in length, though frequently longer), double-spaced, 12pt Times-Roman font, and 1 inch margins
Support arguments with data from self-assessments, exercises from The Pathfinder, value preferences, WWW links, and other information available to you
Include 15 or more references (minimum expectation, not including the text) from the career literature and the internet
Use prose to explain processes and issues and supplement using figures, tables, and quotations
Explicitly link self-knowledge to career goals and expected outcomes
Demonstrate knowledge and concepts from your study of career management
References should be listed at the end of the Career Plan using the following style:

The document titled “Unipet Information System
Assignment” explores the implementation and enhancement of a Project
Management Information System (PMIS) within UNIPET, focusing particularly on
the Business Growth Brand Experience (BGBE) Department. It begins by defining
PMIS and detailing UNIPET’s organizational context, then identifies key
challenges faced by the BGBE department due to inadequate information systems.
These challenges include issues with planning, procurement, communication, and
project management, which hinder effective engagement across project
lifecycles.
The latter sections of the document delve into the existing
information system infrastructures at UNIPET, proposing improvements and
integrations to better support project management processes. It includes
detailed discussions on stakeholder management, data mapping, and the design of
a PMIS framework tailored to enhance organizational capacity and efficiency. By
addressing these areas, the document aims to align UNIPET’s project management
strategies with its operational needs and strategic objectives, ensuring better
project outcomes and organizational performance.
