Discrimination, Victimization, and Affirmative Action

Q QUESTIONS 1. In Chapter 10-The Tense Office: Discrimination, Victimization, and Affirmative Action, we are introduced to the concept of occupational segregation. Explain whether Nike would benefit from implementing occupational segregation as a way to address a systemic problem, as described in the Cahill et al. v. Nike lawsuit. Include a discussion of whether and how the ethical theories of utilitarianism, egoism, and/or deontology would support this implementation. If you conclude that none of these theories would support this implementation, explain why/how you reach this conclusion. 2. If Nike claims to maintain an inclusive culture of diversity, why would it give raises to 7,000 employees after an internal review? Be sure that you have factual support for your answer. Do not speculate. 3. What type of training is necessary to address allegations of inappropriate sexual advances or behavior of employees? Explain in detail what that training would accomplish and how/why. Provide at least one (1) example of a company that has implemented the training you describe and discuss how effective the training has been in addressing the working environment concerns involving inappropriate sexual advances or behavior of employees. Cite your sources.?

Nike would not get any kind of benefit from implementing the occupational segregation. This kind of practice in unfair, and inefficient. In this way, the entire industry can be affected. This ill practice has a great impact on the productivity and creativity of Nike as well. On the other hand, the lower wages have enough power to demotivate the women employees of Nike not to give their best for Nike. Therefore, it hurts the ultimate business process of the organization (Brusseau, 2012, p.249).
