Affirmative Action in the Workplace
In any business or organization, it is important to consider several aspects of
management in order to effectively accomplish respective organizational objectives
...
However, it is
prudent to reiterate that the first part of the assignment will be based on the theoretical
aspects of affirmative action followed by a case study which will showcase a practical
approach to the myriad cases of moral dilemma in the quest to effectively accomplish
organizational objectives in the workplace
...
In most of
the recognized institutions, there are federal laws of affirmative action in place to
enhance good rapport and employee relationship with the respective managements
...
However, there are varied opinions in regard to affirmative action;
some organizations feel that it is not necessary while to others it forms the basis
through which organizations operate for effective accomplishment of predetermined
objectives (King, 2009)
...
The leadership in the stated areas of concern among others
often derives pleasure in convincing the desperate applicants to exchange opportunities
with sex
...
In addition, there are numerous cases of reverse racism; it encourages and
discriminates against majority groups especially in organizations and college
admissions (Mpumelelo, 2012)
...
In
accomplishing the notion on affirmative action, it is prudent to state that it has distinct
benefits to an organization that fully adopt actions and directives that are necessary
(Mpumelelo, 2012)
...

Organizations that deployed an affricative action approach in its managerial functions
realized that most of the employees embraced the ideological perception and would
wish to constantly work within laws and regulations that embrace adoption of imperative
aspects of affirmative action in realizing the respective and perceived organizational
goals (King, 2009)
...
The profound
impacts on an organization’s future enhance generation of poverty and inequality in the
work places; employees who got employed in an organization through dubious ways
would not relent in their quest to replicate the same to their precedence making it a
routine within such an organization
...

According to the reign of John F
...

10925 which required that the US government contractors adopt deploy affirmative
action in order to hire women and minority groups as an approach to bring to an end the
rampant cases of work place discrimination (Mpumelelo, 2012)
...

Competition in the global market requires distinct perspective approaches that
would spark creative work performance which is essential in expanding work output
...
This is due to the fact that when the decision
is based on voluntary AA plan, most of the management teams would prioritize and
further discriminate against the majority in unlawful approach to management
...

The institution in focus
The case study is based on United States International University (USIU); this is
due to the numerous cases of partiality and segregation of minority groups in acquiring
school admissions and employment opportunities by the host countries respectively
(Skrentny, 2001)
...

As an academic institution that is concerned with the production elites who would be
absorbed in the global market, it is important that affirmative action plan be adopted to
enhance equality and diversity in the workplace (King, 2009)
...
This is a hindrance to the progress of the academic institution since the same
process involved in recruitment will deny them of deriving better and proficient populace
with immense work capabilities comparatively to the prevailing staff within which some
may be redundant to the technological applicability necessary in modern academic
institutions globally (Cahn, 2013)
...
This is applicable
since the university is based in numerous countries and embraces application from

students within the global scope (Crosby, 2004)
...

How the Case Relate to the Theory
In a case that involves the school admission, and or employee within the
internationally recognized academic institution (USIU) United States International
University (Skrentny, 2001)
...
In case the USIU
academic institutions would resort to adhering to legal aspects of the plan, students
from the respective host countries would be equally considered, foreign students would
not suffer at the expense of the host countries that enjoy home support and partiality in
awarding of students admission chances and employment opportunities within the
global scope (King, 2009)
...
It is ethically
appeasable to award a percentage number of vacancies to the residents of the host
countries, and also to the students within the host country but there should be levels

and limits within which such an opportunity should last, but it should not be the order of
the day (Crosby, 2004)
...
In order to avert the situation, USIU as an academic
institution should deploy a contingent of auditors to perform monitoring and evaluation
within the institution so that incompetent and redundant employees be faced off
forthwith employment of staffs in line with affirmative action plan (Crosby, 2004, p
...

Conclusion
In order to realize the dire need to accomplish organization’s plan, academic
institutions and small businesses among others are advised to embrace affirmative
action plan
...
USIU as an academic institution should
adopt legal AA plan to enhance work progress and equitable allotment for students’
admission chances in favor of both majority and the minority in order to embrace ethical
diversity within the national and international scope
...

Lack of affirmative action in the work place also affects the employee morale
...
It is prudent that organizations realize
the need to enhance better approaches that would enhance affirmative action as a

and international scopes
