Module 5 Learning Community

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

- George Santayana

The subject of the second case study analysis is the Wells Fargo debacle.

Watch the video, Scandals Illustrated. Read the article, Wells Fargo Fraud (Links to an external site.). And, be sure to view the instructor's lecture posted in the discussion thread.

For this discussion answer the following questions in your initial post:

Explain how this case study demonstrates conflict of interest, and identify one other company that you know of (current or former employer, an organization in the news) that has had to address conflicts of interest.

Identify the ways that management structure can hinder ethical behavior on the job, in this case and in the organization you cited above.

In the Wells Fargo scandal and the organization that you identified above, how would you improve communication to alleviate conflicts of interest?

Consider how the culture of the organization chosen by your classmate affects the way that communication and management strategy is implemented in order to promote an ethical workplace.
