1. Why would ethics be important to a company like J.M. Smucker?

How can its focus

on values and ethics improve its business performance?

Ethics is a person’s belief on about what constitutes right and wrong behavior. The J.M.
Smucker Company is concerned with the values of the employees because it shows how
ethical the company is when making big decisions. According to the article, acting
ethically is a key to success. It manipulates the performance of the company on how well-
trained the employees are when it comes to values. If a dilemma is faced by a company,
employees are required to act ethically no matter how rough consumers, or the scenario
is. Controlling of emotions is very important because each word that we say may mean
something to another person or might affect the relationship of the other.

2. Appearing on “best places to work” lists can increase an employer's popularity,

m
er as
even among lower-qualified applicants. The increased volume of applicants can be

good employer in the public would be beneficial, depending on how the employer
ed d

interact and connect with the public. It requires values and ethics because a good
ar stu

employer cannot be a good employer without those two. It could also be a challenge
because your reputation is at stake. Example, you’ve done many good things for the
company, but one mistake may destroy your image as an employer. It is beneficial
is

because many people would praise or look up to the works of the good employer that
Th

may lead to inspiring and motivating many.

3. Do J.M. Smucker's values and culture appeal to you as a potential employee? Why
sh

or why not?

My answer is Yes, because I could relate my life to the article as an individual who

Values are very important especially when you are working in a company because your
behavior is a key to success base on your performance.
