About This Topic

  

A descriptive essay is an essay that describes something like a person, location, thing, event, or process.  Descriptive essays can be non-fiction, but they can also be fiction.  The goal is to allow the reader to visualize whatever is being described.  Good descriptive essays evoke all of the senses, so that the reader knows how what is being described looks, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels.

Ethical Decision-Making in a Sales Organization
The study of marketing, sales and company ethics has a very diverse foundation of empirical and analytical research ranging from gender- and trait-based analysis to the defining of models that seek to capture the dynamics that create ethical paradoxes and drive decision-making in organizations. In the research completed and presented in the article A Framework For Personal Selling and Sales Management Ethical Decision Making (Ferrell, Johnston, Ferrell, 2007) the authors carefully analyze trait-based and situational ethics theories and previous research. The first sections of this well-written and researched article illustrate that trait theories alone cannot explain the spectrum of ethics within sales and marketing departments and their decision-making processes, or provide insights into corporate cultural mindsets with regard to ethics. What the authors do however in this initial section of the article is frame up the foundation of their model, A Framework For Selling And Sales Management Decision Making (Ferrell, Johnston, Ferrell, 2007). This model captures the paradoxical nature of ethics by showing how organizational culture, sales activity, ethical issue intensity (perceived and actual) and ethics decisions are dependent on both the sales ethical climate and individual factors of a business (Ferrell, Johnston, Ferrell, 2007). All of these factors are taken into account in defining the evaluation of outcomes. What is missing from this model is a contextual component that the authors only speak to, yet don't include as a component in the overall model. Contextual reference could have been added as a core foundational element or created as an overarching module that unifies the entire model. Figure 1, A Framework of Selling and Sales Management Ethical Decision Making is shown, illustrating the integration of concepts the authors make reference to.
