The aim of this assignment is to address a managerial ethical challenge by referring to the academic literature on the OB topic. The scenarios provided have OB issues and ethical dilemmas. All of the topics building on your first-year learning. You are to choose one of the scenarios and using 6 journals from this approved list, research and discuss resolution of the issues. You also need to access 6 periodicals from this list. You must use the library to source these articles which speak directly to the OB issue. Of course, your textbook is always a good reference.

Case Study – Changing Times at the BBCThe BBC has been undergoing significant change in the past few years leading to an independent review in 2016 which found that there were some “serious failings in the BBC’s culture and its systems of communication, management and investigation” (Smith, 2016:32) at the time, with concerns around bullying and harassment or staff complaints not being listened to. Aside from this there have also been criticisms about the pay/gender gap between staff.
The organization had a new Director General in 2015 who has spearheaded, via the HR department, large scale re- organisation, leading to the development of a culture which now sees people “coming to work wanting to do the best they can” (Hughes-D’Aeth, 2017).
Your answer must refer to the case study and Smith Review (2016) findings and must also apply appropriate theories: Organisational culture e.g. Hofstede’s work, Power e.g. French and Raven’s power types; Political behaviour of managers e.g. characteristics of such behaviour. Consider the more negative aspects of what happened in the past at the BBC and how behaviour and culture can be changed for a better future.
