...Short Why Ethical Egoism is a Problematic Framework for Intelligence
CI Literature Review
Introduction
The aim of this examination of the literature is to fill the wide gap that remains in counterintelligence research regarding an appropriate ethical standard that can guide and foster an ethical culture, as called for by Bellaby (2012) and Valentine (2016). The purpose of this review is to identify the lessons that have been learned and presented by researchers on this topic, and to identify an appropriate theoretical framework for assessing the way forward. The research question for this study is: How can the US counterintelligence enterprise support collaboration among the various USIC members and the private sector in an ethical and productive manner? The ultimate purpose of this study is to propose a standardized ethical framework for guiding the counterintelligence program as it works to collaborate with the private sector in the 21st century. Therefore, the……

The US Sentencing System Disparities And Discrimination

Pages: 8 (2275 words) Sources: 7 Document Type:Essay Document #:28286224

...Short Introduction
A defendant that has successfully been prosecuted and then found guilty will have their sentence determined and read out by a judge at the sentencing hearing. The sentencing hearing can only take place after the criminal conviction. During the sentencing hearing, the judge will have to decide on a sentence or a punishment based on the maximum and minimum sentences for the particular crime, as stipulated in the penal code. While all this sounds straightforward, there have been many cases recorded of discrimination and disparity in sentencing (Spohn, 2008). 
With regards to sentencing, a disparity exists in two ways – when offenders who are different get the same punishment, and when similar offenders get different punishments. More specifically, a disparity exists when judges impose the same punishment/ sentence on offenders who have very different crimes and criminal histories and when judges impose different punishments on offenders who have carried……

Logistical Support And Distribution Strategies

Pages: 5 (1607 words) Sources: 6 Document Type:Essay Document #:66969526

...Short Logistical Support and Distribution Strategies
Distribution strategies refer to techniques of services/goods dissemination to end customers. Adoption of the ideal distribution technique for one’s organization forms the key when it comes to generating revenue and ensuring client loyalty. Several organizations opt for several distribution techniques to cater to diverse end-customer bases. Logistical aspects have always contributed strategically to the organizational business. Within the context of wholesalers and retailers, such organizations go beyond the areas of transportation and inventory management for including one among the most crucial components of organizational success—location relative to supply sources or end-customer markets. When it comes to producers, logistics is concerned with basic aspects like manufacturing unit location, customer service quality/standards, and raw material sourcing. Of late, business environmental evolution has coerced large as well as small corporations into focusing closely on the link between this function and others (Heskett, 1977).
Key factors in organizational strategy……
