Case Study
Resolving Ethical Business Challenges *
Kent was getting pressure from his boss, parents, and wife about the marketing campaign for Broadway Corporation’s new video game called “Lucky.” He had been working for Broadway for about two years, and the Lucky game was his first big project. After Kent and his wife, Amy, graduated from college, they decided to go back to their hometown of Las Cruces, New Mexico, near the Mexican border. Kent’s father knew the president of Broadway, which enabled Kent to get a job in its marketing department. Broadway is a medium-size company with about 500 employees, making it one of the largest employers in Las Cruces. Broadway develops, manufactures, and markets video arcade games
Within the video arcade industry, competition is fierce. Games typically have a life cycle of only 18 to 24 months. One of the key strategies in the industry is providing unique, visually stimulating games by using color graphics technology, fast action, and participant interaction. The target markets for Broadway’s video products are children aged 5 to 12 and teenagers aged 13 to 19. Males constitute 75 percent of the market. When Kent first started with Broadway, his task was to conduct market research on the types of games that players desired. His research showed that the market wanted more action (violence), quicker graphics, multiple levels of difficulty, and sound. Further research showed that certain tones and types of sound were more pleasing than others. As part of his research, Kent also observed people in video arcades, where he found that many became hypnotized by a game and would quickly put in quarters when told to do so. Research suggested that many target consumers exhibited the same symptoms as compulsive gamblers. Kent’s research results were well received by the company, which developed several new games using his information. The new games were instant hits with the market. In his continuing research, Kent found that the consumer’s level of intensity increased as the game’s intensity level increased. Several reports later, Kent suggested that target consumers might be willing, at strategic periods in a video game, to insert multiple coins. For example, a player who wanted to move to a higher level of difficulty would have to insert two coins; to play the final level, three coins would have to be inserted. When the idea was tested, Kent found it did increase game productivity. Kent also noticed that video games that gave positive reinforcements to the consumer, such as audio cues, were played much more frequently than others. He reported his findings to Brad, Broadway’s president, who asked Kent to apply the information to the development of new games. Kent suggested having the machines give candy to the game players when they attained specific goals. For the teen market, the company modified the idea: The machines would give back coins at certain levels during the game. Players could then use the coins at strategic levels to play a “slot-type” chance opening of the next level. By inserting an element of chance, these games generated more coin input than output, and game productivity increased dramatically. These innovations were quite successful, giving Broadway a larger share of the market and Kent a promotion to product manager. Kent’s newest assignment was the Lucky game—a fast-action scenario in which the goal was to destroy the enemy before being destroyed. Kent expanded on the slot-type game for the older market, with two additions. First, the game employed virtual reality technology, which gives the player the sensation of actually being in the game. Second, keeping in mind that most of the teenage consumers were male, Kent incorporated a female character who, at each level, removed a piece of her clothing and taunted the player. A win at the highest level left her nude. Test market results suggested that the two additions increased profitability per game dramatically. Several weeks later, Brad asked about the Lucky project. “I think we’ve got a real problem, Brad,” Kent told him. “Maybe the nudity is a bad idea. Some people will be really upset about it.” Brad was displeased with Kent’s response. Word got around fast that the Lucky project had stalled. During dinner with his parents, Kent mentioned the Lucky project, and his dad said something that affected Kent. “You know, son, the Lucky project will bring in a great deal of revenue for Broadway, and jobs are at stake. Some of your coworkers are upset with your stand on this project. I’m not telling you what to do, but there’s more at stake here than just a video game.” The next day Kent had a meeting with Brad about Lucky. “Well,” Brad asked, “what have you decided?” Kent answered, “I don’t think we should go with the nudity idea.” Brad answered, “You know, Kent, you’re right. The U.S. market just isn’t ready to see full nudity as well as graphic violence in arcades in their local malls. That’s why I’ve contacted an Internet provider who will take our game and put it on the Internet as an adult product. I’ve also checked out the foreign markets and found that we can sell the machines to the Mexican market if we tone down the violence. The Taiwanese joint venture group has okayed the version we have now, but they would like you to develop something that is more graphic in both areas. You see, they already have similar versions of this type of game now, and their market is ready to go to the next level. I see the Internet market as secondary because we can’t get the virtual reality equipment and software into an Internet mode. Maybe when PCs get faster, we’ll be able to tap into it at that level, but not now. So, Kent, do you understand what you need to be doing on Lucky?”

Eight Guiding Principles
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Unit 2: Integrated Marketing and Unit 4: Operating a Small Business Effectively from your course textbook, Entrepreneurship: Starting and Operating a Small Business. In addition, read the following article, Up to code: Does your company’s conduct meet world-class standards? (Links to an external site.).
The retrieved article above proposes a set of guiding principles organizations of all sizes can use to guide organization conduct at all levels. The principles are also useful as a starting point for developing an ethics policy tailored to a specific organization. Critique the article using the following as a guide:
Do the proposed standards have worldwide applicability? Why or why not?
The proposed code is framed by eight guiding principles. Are these principles adequate to define world-class ethics standards? If not, what is lacking?
Would you use the eight guiding principles as a foundation to guide behavior in your organization, or are the guiding principles more applicable to large, established organizations?
Offer a link to a video or an article that provides additional information about the codex discussed above or about other approaches used to define ethical business behavior.

HCAD 640 – Discussion Topic: Looking to the Future
Hi, Please, read and comment on peer discussions in 100 words minimum with credible references in APA style.
Peer 1:
The Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) examines four important segments that offers healthcare leaders guidance on how to prepare for the major health care market trends over the coming years, as healthcare continues to progressively change. The first segment examines healthcare ongoing transition to value, the second segments speaks on preparing for an increase on consumerism, the third addresses the effects of consolidation, and the finally segment guides organizations to stay ahead of innovation. The HFMA topic I reviewed was Consumerism. As consumers are demanding a better experience when seeking medical care, providers must consider their demands if they would like to keep up with competition. HFMA believes that the ability to generate and leverage consumer insights will be critical to the success of health plans and providers. It is “a trend that reflects the growing importance of consumer choice in the healthcare marketplace”(HFMA, 2016) Consumerism can be linked to high-deductible health plans and value-based care. According to Gordon (2021), patients rely more on their own online research and comparison shopping that on referrals from others has increased. With that being said, organizations can lose profit if they are charging patients higher cost of care options compared to their competitors. With consumerism providers can utilize the benefits that could help them financially and give their patients a peace of mind by supplying affordable health care options. With affordable healthcare options for patients, organizations should be able to increase their patient intake and remain financially stable. With volume-based payments still holding strong, delivery systems need to attract and retain as many patients as possible to be successful. (HFMA, 2016)

Peer 2:
The report on consumerism examines how provider organizations and health plans should be preparing for the ever-increasing influence of consumerism in the healthcare industry. The report describes how organizations can help promote a state of “health ownership” among consumers and why developing an enhanced understanding of what drives individual healthcare consumers will be especially important (HFMA, 2020). The perception with regards to the topic is that consumers are paying more out of pocket for their healthcare.
One inspiration from the article is that consumerism will not gain traction until healthcare organizations make a point of sincerely listening to consumers (HFMA, 2020). Another key inspiration is that health plans and providers that fail to respond to the imperatives of consumerism will risk losing relevance as the move to value-based payment gains traction, while consumer-savvy organizations will be positioned to thrive.
Healthcare consumerism will require a massive change in the way healthcare professionals market, deliver, and charge for their services. In particular, healthcare providers will need to focus on building their brands as they strive to operate more like a retail business in a highly competitive market (Cerner, 2018). For 2022 and beyond, consumers will continue to pay more for premiums and out-of-pocket expenses, employers will help mitigate some of the costs through HSAs and other tax-advantaged plans, healthcare organizations will need to provide more open channels of communication. As consumers embrace reviews, information and advice disseminated through digital channels, providers will have to adapt, and the delivery of healthcare services will become more marketing-driven.
But the CMS price transparency rule will also determine how consumerism will be affected. With its new price transparency rule, CMS is also placing a greater emphasis on having clear, accessible pricing information for consumers before service which ties back to the increasing trend of healthcare consumerism (Heath, 2020).
