The Centurion Media: Fowler's Behavior And Role In Contract

The Centurion Media Institutional Affiliation Student Name Date Introduction Life is all about the right decisions, and that has a positive impact on one’s life. In the centurion media, Richard Bennett finds himself in a difficult situation, and there is a need to make a decision that might cost his job or cost losses for the company. Decisions involve being wise, and consulting can also be appropriate to achieve better outcomes. Bennett found himself in this situation, and he had to think to make critical and practical decisions. Fowler's behavior and role in contract Centurion Media is known initially to be an industry that manufactures newspapers that involves business and led by Charles Reilly back in the 19th century. It was a family business that was inherited, and later, the company changes into a cable division system. In the 1940s, John Walson was a business person that wanted to invest in televisions, and he thought about how to start working on it. Fowler is unethical in that he deceives others and lacks accountability in working in Centurion Media for the benefit of Northpark. Charles Reilly took over the family business, and he started as an employee of the organization to get the concepts and experience he needed in running the organization. He did the right thing in that he didn’t rush things into being on the top without getting to know what happens in the background. Despite having the power to influence the organization, Reilly did not overemphasize his strengths to get what he wants, but he instead took the chance of learning and getting to understand the organization well. Charles is known to be self-driven and makes appropriate and right decisions in achieving a task. However, in the negotiation of the contract, the involvement of Fowler posses an ethical problem because he was a former employee of Northpark and still owns a share in the organization. The company grew, and Chuck Reilly introduced to the company an associate and a friend Joseph Fowler. Joseph Fowler is known to be the chief executive officer from Northpark. At Northpark, Fowler helped the company grow at high rates and generate good returns, and this made Reilly believe that he was capable of that position and that he would turn the company around to high profits. In building a good reputation, then robust ideas have to be brought up in achieving this ( Sherman, September 4). Fowler is highly known for his hard work and commitment to making an organization grow, and it’s what Reilly has liked in him. Everyone has a chance to make himself/herself a good or bad person by the effort they put into their daily lives. Joseph Fowler was known to be very hardworking and believed that success comes about from having high returns. Most workers liked him for the appreciation given, and in maximizing the minimum resources available in creating a sound output. However, rumors circulated that he still owns a large portion of Northpark Company and that he is among the board of directors. Nobody was able to approve this and get the right information. He ruined his reputation, and employees had doubts because he didn’t set his undertakings clear and was not open to his objectives. In analyzing the case, there is a conflict of interest in that Fowler wanted cables from Centurion to grow Northpark and grow financial losses to the Centurion Company. Fowler violates the duty of care in his undertakings as he is not loyal to the company he is in now and wants the company to lose a lot for the benefit of Northpark. Bennetts dilemma and options With the normal working conditions Bennett had in his office, he came across an envelope that instructed him to sell the cables to Northpark Company. He became worried that the company was growing and making good returns with the cables. The customers also liked and were reliant on the wires that the company was selling. It meant that the company would undergo huge losses and loose customers. In critically analyzing the information sent to his desk, he realized that Fowler was behind the above action as he was the biggest shareholder of Northpark, and he was the one who instructed the letter to Bennett. Bennett had to look deeply and do some research about the information. He had to undertake very keen observation to find the insight as to why Fowler wants to sell cables to Northpark at a meager price. There is deontological ethics in that Fowler had an obligation to do but instead made it morally wrong and taking it for his benefit. Deontological ethics hold that at least individual acts undertaken are ethically obligatory regardless of the results and outcome of the welfare of humanity. In applying this ethic, then, in a series of rules and regulations, an action taken will depict either its right or wrong rather than basing assumptions on the action consequences and many may judge according to this situation. In Fowler’s behavior, many will find ethically right, and others wrong according to the rules, and the contract made might have been for the benefit of any organization when consequences noticed. In every organization, there is always a protocol to be followed and ways to consult in case of a dilemma. However, he took the step and asked with the consulting com...
