Why do you think Alcoa's strong values based culture failed to prevent corrupt acts by a subsidiary, as described in this chapter? do you think Alcoa's creation of a new code of conduct in 2014 will prevent incidents like this in the future? Why or why not?

Explanation:

There is no way to completely eliminate any possibility of corruption. No matter how hard you work to hire people with good morals and train the employees on the culture, there will always be someone who does not align perfectly and acts in their own self-interest.

The most important thing is to have a method of identifying those people and having a process in place to eliminate them from the culture.

The new code of conduct that was put in place in 2014 will help to prevent incidents by reinforcing the standards and giving new updated training to employees. While this will help refresh and reinforce the standards, it will not completely eliminate from the realm of possibilities. As stated before, there will always be someone who will be misaligned and act in their own interests.
