Abstract

This series of cases deals with the topics of workplace safety, the environment, and purchasing.

Cases 8.1 focuses on worker health safety in relation to the worker's immediate environment.

Other cases, 8.2, 8.4, and 8.5, offer the effect an employer may have on its employees in regard to business practices and its attempts to remain competitive and/or solvent.

Case 8.6 presents an interesting departure from the other cases in its presentation of a "positive" study. Here, an employer goes to lengths to ensure his workers maintain an income in the face of temporary job loss.

Cases 8.7 through 8.9 focus on issues of the environment.

The final cases, 8.11 and 8.12, are centered on the issue of purchasing ethics.

This case includes 12 individual case studies with discussion questions for each:

        Case 8.1 Electromagnetic Fields: Exposure for Workers and Customers

        Case 8.2 Domino's Pizza Delivers

        Case 8.3 The Generics of Downsizing

        Case 8.4 The Closure of the Stroh's Plant upon Merger
