MBA 500 Module Eight Consulting Report Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
You explored the significance of ethical considerations and their implications for business decisions. Today’s organizations are no longer in the situation of being able to disregard or become oblivious to the prevalence of unethical behaviors and misdemeanors.
It’s now time to unpack the ethical considerations that organizations must not overlook in business operations.
As a consultant, you will often come across situations that require you to identify and address ethical and legal considerations. You might even come across situations wherein you will find an overlap between ethical considerations and legal issues in a business situation.
The legal team at the health and beauty company you work for is currently reviewing all the documents you have looked at so far. Their objective is to highlight potential ethical and legal issues that the company may be opening itself up to.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Walmart’s core customer base is changing from lower – middle income customers to higher income customers with greater spending power and much higher expectations. The company’s basic DNA is still “Every day low prices”, not everyday great value or every day great service or every day great quality, which is what affluent customers are looking for.”
Comment on this change in Walmart’s demographics. Can the world’s largest retailer appeal to customers at both ends of the income spectrum? How would you suggest Walmart accomplish this task? Is it even possible? Why or why not?
According to the “Walmart vs. Target” article, Walmart beats Target in most areas such as market share, low prices, number of stores, and services. Yet Target continues to do well. It could be said that there are three types of Walmart/Target customers:Those people who ONLY go to Walmart.
Those people who ONLY go to Target.
Those weird people who will go to EITHER Walmart OR Target.
So, which type of customer are you? Explain why you shop this way. Why do you think certain people REFUSE to go into Walmart for any reason. Is it the atmosphere, the company ethics, strange shoppers, or a combination of things. What incentive would change your mind in changing from Target to Walmart?
Two aspects of retail that are increasingly important to attract customers are the “Theater of Retail” and the concept that “Time saved is money earned.” How can Amazon compete on the experiential aspect of shopping known as the theater of retail?
And the last question: Finally, who do you think will win the battle of these three big box stores? Is it Walmart, Target or Amazon? Support your answer with theory and facts.

I added an example of previous discussion with reference for your reference!! last one was a little misunderstanding

Use the inductive rubric I have attached to rewrite this deductive document as inductive.
Scenario: All state and federal government construction projects require 5% participation from WBE (Women’s Business Enterprises). You are the leader of a WBE landscape architecture firm and must respond to an engineering company that has asked you to be their exclusive landscape subcontractor for the redesign/rebuild of the Key Bridge on route I-695. The engineers have suggested that if you don’t agree to be their exclusive subcontractor, they will not partner with you. You must tell them that you are willing to submit a bid to them but would still like to do the same for other engineering firms.
Your rewrite should follow the inductive rubric I have given. It should also eliminate the cliched language and redundancy you find in the original.
