APICS Cleveland Chapter January PDM
“Ethical Issues in Business: The Dangers
of Tunnel Vision”
By: Mark P. Aulisio, PhD Professor and Chair
Director, Case Western Reserve University
This discussion oriented session
will focus on the dangers of
thinking of business practices,
such as supply chain efforts, too
narrowly. It will emphasize busi-
ness as a human, social enter-
prise, with inherently value laden
dimensions. As such, it is both
necessary and appropriate to
consider the core values that we
want to consciously drive our business practices. Case exam-
ples will be drawn from the classic business ethics literature
(e.g., the Ford Pinto and Beechnut Baby Food cases) and cur-
rent events (e.g., VW emissions testing and Turing Pharmaceu-
ticals Daraprim scandals), as well as from health care and clini-
cal ethics (the presenters primary area of expertise). Along the
way, discussants will help to define “ethics” (for practical pur-
poses), develop strategies for taking ethical issues in business
seriously, and identify and analyze some of the ethical issues
that emerge on the supply chain side of the business enter-
prise.

President’s Message:
If you're looking for a reason to be scared of stocks in 2016, look at China
After years of rapid growth, China is the world's second-biggest economy. Its explosive expansion lifted many other economies, es-pecially Latin American countries that make the raw materials Bei-jing consumes. However, now that China is maturing into a more developed market, its appetite for raw goods has eased considera-bly and that's raised concerns that its economy is slowing at a much faster pace than previously thought. The reaction to the manufacturing report, released by Chinese me-dia group Caixin, also showcases investors' lack of confidence in
China's official economic reports. The government's manufacturing gauge, which focuses on large en-terprises, painted a rosier picture than the Caixin report. "Investors are concerned about the likelihood of smoke and mirrors that surround the official economic data," said Sam Stovall, managing director of U.S. equity strategy at S&P Capital IQ. If China is indeed slowing dramatically faster than investors realize, there is a risk the global economy could be dragged into a recession. A global recession would likely kill the bull market in U.S. stocks, which are trading at expensive valuations despite logging their worst year since 2008. The S&P 500 is trading at 18.2 times trailing profits, which is above the five-year average of 15.6. Corporate profits continue to be dented by the strong U.S. dollar, sluggish global growth and the crash in oil prices. Analysts say S&P 500 companies in the fourth quarter suffered their first back-to-back decline in earnings since 2009 and then there are other threats to U.S. stocks. Some remain skeptical that the economy and market will be able to weather the Federal Reserve's first interest rate hike in nearly a decade. Others are worried about geopolitical instability in the Middle East, especially from ISIS and rising tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia. However, it's clear that right now China reigns as the biggest influence on Wall Street. So China's sometimes-bumpy efforts to open up its financial markets can create turbulence. For instance, stocks in China and the U.S. plunged last summer after China surprised investors by devaluing its currency. The good news is that many believe China is just going through natural growing pains that won't wreck the global economy. They say China has the ability to manage through this difficult time of tran-sition. Not only does China's central bank have room to boost growth by cutting interest rates, but the government has more than $3 trillion to spend on stimulus. "China has quite a lot of fiscal flexibility that many other countries would be envious of," said Ben Laidler, global equity strategist at HSBC. Let's hope China uses that flexibility wisely. If not 2016 could be a rough year for U.S. investors. Happy New Year. Bob Dr. Robert Stoll APICS Cleveland Chapter [email protected]
