Use at least 3 outside sources for research. Your discussion must be in your own words (no copying and pasting please).

You have recently assumed ownership of a small retail business. The prior owner had a laissez-faire (rather hands off) management style, and the current employees spend a lot of time on the Internet, particularly on social media. This is true both on their personal smart phones (over the company Wi-fi) as well as on work devices. Your initial impression is that they are discussing business-related issues online, work is not getting done, customers are not being satisfactorily cared for, and you are beginning to see why the business is not doing as well as it could.

In light of the current situation, you plan to hold a meeting. You do some research and decide to cover the following in your meeting (meaning, discuss this in your original posting):

Explain why this is an ethical issue and identify ethical principles involved (note: do some research) about the use of employee comments on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as the use of them during business hours.

Identify the policies you would put in place as the business owner.

How might you discipline someone who is not compliant with your new policies?

Research and include an outside article (provide the URL) demonstrating what can happen when social media at work 'goes bad' in a real-world situation and summarize the article for us.
