The first challenge is developing an ethical culture. Present ethical behavior can as good business. Managers must do ethical behaviours which can encourage ethical behavior from their employees. Robbins and Judge (2009) list four theories of developing the ethical culture which the managers should to do(Organizational behavior，2009 ). The managers should be establish the ethical model of behaviours and organizational code, so that their employees can follow the model.

All people in the organization can behave in ethical. If the top managers can not do model ethical behaviour, the organizational code will loss its worth. The managers can offer some ethics trainings. The trainings can strengthen the ethical standards of behaviours. The managers should give the employees some visibly reward if they do the ethical standard behaviours. If not, the managers can punish the employees who do not follow the ethical standard.

Managers can create a clear mission statement and share it with all individuals. In that the employees can know clearly about what they need to do in the process of work. Ensure the flow of information is effective. The employers can enlarge their minds to allow them to think important things globally.

(para 3). They focus on three areas to improving the ethics program. Firstly is build business processes and strategy with ethical culture, they considered that the ethical behavior is insignificant in evaluating managers' performance. Secondly is change employees' mindsets.

When CXO employees have some confuse of the ethical behviors, that is a good time to review the code of ethical. (Building an Ethical Work Culture in Indian Organizations, July, 2011). The second case is about developing a global organizational culture. Yum! Brands include KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut which are located in 117 countries. All brands have to be focused on the consumer and the employers need to built global culture around the importance of drive performance. The employees need build the culture which in the today globally.

"MNCs have been encouraged to create a strong global corporate culture through shared core core values and practices." (para 1).The establishment of a global culture is known as a robust and flexible method to deal with complexity, and these companies are facing rapid change. In fact, a recent survey of global executives are sure to be able to maintain a common corporate culture as their biggest challenge and the primary concern (On the Rocky Road to Strong Global Culture, June 26, 2010).

The final case is about developing empowerment culture. DCS Group was established the ideal which the employees should be empowered as leaders. This principle forces driven by the DCS corporate governance structure and strategy for more than 30 years. Their customers have advantages of a quick reaction and the task completion concentrate cause DCS employees have been authorized to take action by their employers.( Culture of Empowerment, n.d).
