Recommended: Sandusky case study

The human resources and marketing areas for Penn State University must have been a nightmare following the Sandusky scandal. Everything the university had worked for could have been completely dismantled after such accusations of an employee. Every department of the university would need to be looked at to determine if any other issues needed to be address. It would be hard not to examine every department within the university after the top leaders were involved in covering up the issues with Sandusky. Individuals would likely put every action of the university under a microscope following such accusations. The human resource side would be difficult having to deal with the situation. From the faculty perspective, the human resource department

    For over fifteen years at Weston University, Dr. Powers operated from a human resource view, providing the faculty with security and stable working conditions (Bolman & Deal, 2013, p. 16). As a result, the leader's authority is derived from making sure that the faculty's individual needs are the highest priority, rendering a servant leader as a pushover (Bolman & Deal, 2013, p. 56). The contrast of leadership styles is primary problem in this case. Dr. Power's longtime human resource frame to Dr. Ball's new structural frame following a set of rules governing performance that utilizes a hierarchy of offices (Bolman & Deal, 2013, p. 46).

  • Bill Cosby Case Study

    This crisis could have been prevented. If Mr. Cosby had shut down the allegations in the first scandal in 1969, I believe further rumors would not have emerged. The reboot of these rumors could have also been prevented back in 2005 when Andrea Constand filed a lawsuit against Bill Cosby. He settled the lawsuit, for the same allegations, suspiciously outside of court (CITATION). Working under the assumption that Mr. Cosby is guilty, he could have prevented this crisis by not drugging, raping women, or paying them for their company. Under the assumptions that all these allegations are false, this crisis could have been avoided with successfully proving his innocence in a court of

    The mistrust most Americans feel toward the government officials and political parities of today can be traced back to the Watergate scandal of 1972, which led to the resignation of an American president.

  • The Watergate Scandal

    The Watergate scandal had everything. Nixon disgraced the presidency by lying to the country and abusing his power and his committees were involved in illegal acts and a big cover up, all leading to little side roads of corruption and lies. Watergate is by far one of the worst presidential scandals in the history of the United States. In the story of Watergate, five burglars were found breaking into democratic offices at the Watergate complex in Washington DC. The break-in was passed off as just another burglary, but when the burglars were found to have connections with the CIA, questions were starting to be asked. Then when the phone number of Howard Hunt was found in one of the burglar’s phone books, it made people think, why would one of the burglars have the phone number of one of the presidents men? When Watergate was uncovered, it revealed that the president was a liar and a cheat. The president lied to our country, lied about his involvement, concealed self incriminating evidence, abused his power, and planed to have the CIA stop the FBI investigations. During the times of the unraveling of Watergate, questions were asked about connections with the White House and the president, but when the president was asked about it at a press conference he assured Americans that The White House has no involvement whatever in this particular incident.

    “A crisis is generally perceived to be a threat by the organization’s stakeholders, various groups that have an interest in the organization” (Crandall, Parnell, & Spillan, 2013, p. 4). Penn State, like other organizations, had a variety of stakeholders relying on the integrity and performance of the university that were not only affected, but shocked by the Sandusky sexual abuse scandal. “Events of behaviors that violate an organization’s core identity receive much media attention” (Grandey, Krannitz, & Slezak, 2015, n.p.). The moment the allegations hit the news media, perceptions were forming. As the story progressed and the cover-up was revealed, the name of the institution was tarnished.
