Please post brief response to the following post: We know that from an organizational standpoint, they did some research and development. Their research led them to understand that Japanese consumers like presentation and so they made their pizzas "pretty". They understood that Indians liked spice and thus used a different spice mix on the pizzas. Even though Domino's is catering to different tastes, they are not defecting far from the delivery or carry-out method. This is because it simply works for them. I also think they are successful from an organizational perspective in that they are always transforming. I've noticed in the last few years they have implemented the $5.99 deal, remodeled their stores, created a mobile app, improved their recipe, and will even replace your pizza if it gets ruined on the way home. This is what other companies can learn from Domino's. You sometimes have to re-invent the wheel and keep up with what customers want here and now.

Business-process outsourcing (BPO) is a type of outsourcing that consists of contracting operations and responsibilities of a specific business process (e.g., human resources) to a third-party service provider. Such outsourcing generally began with manufacturing firms outsourcing their supply chain but has grown into a much wider range of processes, including marketing, finance, sales, and accounting. According to a recent Forbes article, the revenue of the global outsourced services industry rose from $45 billion in 2000 to nearly $100 billion in 2012. Competition among firms in the BPO market is strong. Companies based in the United States include HP Enterprise Services, Affiliated Computer Services, and Automated Data Processing (ADP). A number of Indian companies, however, also provide worldwide BPO services, such as Infosys, Wipro, and Genpact.

Which of the following statements regarding business ethics is NOT correct? According to Bagley in The Ethical Leader's Decision Tree, directors' obligation is to manage the corporation "for the best interests of the corporation", which might not be “maximizing shareholder value" all the time. According to Bagley in The Ethical Leader's Decision Tree, when there is no established ethics policy, directors can turn to their company values statement for guidance about what constitutes ethical business behavior. According to Epley and Kumar in How to Design an Ethical Organization, a better way to manage ethics is to design workplace context that encourage good behavior. Keeping prosocial values top of mind for employees as they make decisions will reduce the likelihood of transgressions. According to Epley and Kumar in How to Design an Ethical Organization, the "tone at the top" is a much more significant driver of employees' behavior than "tone in the middle".
