It is a requirement in the regulations governing the employees to hold ethical standards at workplace (Chopra, 2012). Therefore, employees of any particular company need to respect the decisions made by the management of the company regarding particular issues. However, in Panda & Mickey Company, the employees failed to act ethically.Three causes of organization problem in the company.Just like many other companies, Panda & Mickey Company face a lot of organization problems in the process of achieving the overall objectives of the company. These problems are closely associated to mechanisms applied by the company when planning, leading, organizing and controlling various aspects in the company (Arnold, 2010). To start with, the first problem arises from the production of a new product for children. This make the company to apply the new technology in some areas of work.
