5th Week of CSRGOVE Class: First Case Discussion and Transportation Strike

At the Monday of those week, we didn't have a class because there was a Transportation Strike. As a foreigner, this is my first time hearing about 'transportation strike' in Manila. I still remember that time I have been in front of class when I suddenly read the message in my exchange student group. I was so sad when I see the message because I also didn't have a class in the morning so I really hope at least I have one class to study in that day :')

If we talk about transportation strike, from what I know, transportation strike here is done by the jeepney driver. In Indonesia, we also have the same case that the public transportation's driver do the strike because of some reasons and it usually gives some big effect to the people's daily life. Actually we can relate this transportation strike case with the theories that we have studied in CSRGOVE class. We can said that there was a big probability that this case happened because of the unethical business or because of not considering ethics in business.

From what I remembered, the transportation strike is caused by the fuel price hike. If we relating it to the ethical decision making theories, we can analyse which step that the government weren't well considering the decision so that it gives the transportation strike impact. It could be that the government didn't well considering the fifth step that is consider how decision affect the stakeholders because it was like that the government didn't considering how will the hike impact the jeepney's driver income.

At the Wednesday of those week, we start discussed about the first case. The first case is about Sherry who has been working at a computer company for 25 years but she didn't find herself can develop because her company having her to train new hires instead of finishing her own projects. We discussed this case by following the ethical decision making steps. From doing this case, I learned that we should consider about a lot of aspect before making a decision. In this case, Sherry can consider about herself goal, her company goal, and the consequences which is probably happen.

I really enjoy to learn by discussing the case with my group mate and my class mate because I think this way is so much more effective to make us understand about implementing the theory in the real case. :)
