(2) Why should firms undertake corporate social responsibility?Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a business approach that creates long-term shareholder value by embracing opportunities and managing risks derived from economic, environmental, and social developments. A CSR policy functions as a self-regulating mechanism whereby business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the law, ethical standards, and international norms. The goal of CSR is to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, and stakeholders. Customer social responsibility can build the loyalty and trust that both ensure a bright and sustainable future in business.In our global society, corporations are becoming increasingly visible, and are judged on their results and behaviour. The reputation of a brand is achieved, in part, as a result of corporate governance. By integrating corporate social responsibility into your business as a core value, you are contributing to a better society and will be recognized for doing so. Michael Atkinson had many questions about the stigma that comes with the tattooed body, but not very many answers, so in his book Tattooed: The Sociogenesis Of Body Art, he set out to find why such a large number of Canadians are currently turning to tattooing as an outward appearance of self-expression rather than clothing or free speech and tries to explain why individual habituse´s, otherwise known as personality structures or second natures, fluctuate over time (Atkinson, 2003: 13).

Atkinson outlines his response with the work of Norbert Elias, who is best known for the “civilizing process” and a hypothesis figurational social science. tags: free speech, artists, social orderResearch Papers 891 words (2.5 pages). Organ Trade, Morality, and Canadian Transplant Tourism Transplant tourism, as defined by Yosuke Shimazono, is “the practice of travelling abroad to obtain organs through commercial transactions” (955). This new phenomenon has emerged as a global answer to the current organ shortage across the world. Currently, 4,500 people in Canada are waiting for a donor to remedy end-stage organ failure, and only an average of 2,000 will receive and organ this year (Government of Canada). In 2012 alone, 256 Canadian men and women died while on waiting lists for donations, meaning the emergence of practices such as transplant tourism has come as no surprise. tags: Morality, Ethics, Organ transplant, UtilitarianismResearch Papers 1789 words (5.1 pages).

This school year (2013-2014) is my first official year in the international baccalaureate program. The courses I am currently taking are rigorous courses. However, because my school goes by block schedule, I only have four classes per term. Since I don't necessarily have a lot of free time, when I get home from school I've learned not to procrastinate, and to prioritize.

Each night I would say that I typically spend about an hour on homework for each class, excluding my PE course. Personally, I think the most difficult class for me is actually IB Spanish. tags: college admissionsFree Essays 976 words (2.8 pages). Grapes Of Wrath: Questions and Answers What are the chief reasons for the mass migration to California.

I think that the chief reasons for the mass migration to California where based on a few different reasons. The first reason was because everyone was poor. They didn't have enough money to have the most basic necessities in life.

They would even go to such lengths as to steal a neighbors house. No body was happy living in Oklahoma. They all had such hard lives that no one had time to do what they wanted to do. tags: The Grapes of Wrath John SteinbeckFree Essays 1288 words (3.7 pages). (6) What is ethics? Apply the Bentley College Center of Business Ethics Test, page 482, to an ethical dilemma you have recently confronted.

Law Business And Society

Would the outcome remain unchanged had you used the test before facing the dilemma?Ethics are moral obligations to separate right from wrong. Legal acts can sometimes present ethical challenges to businesses. Ethics are important in society. They are a dynamic and individual concept strongly influenced by societal governance, laws, regulations, and codes of conduct.A practical way of improving ethical decision making is to run contemplated decisions through an ethics test when in any doubt. This ethics test was used at the Centre for Business Ethics at Bentley College as part of a corporate training program. Decision makers are taught to ask themselves: Is it fair? Who could get hurt?

Would you be comfortable if the details of your decision were reported on the front page of the paper? Would you tell your child to do it?How does it “smell”? In conclusion, if you answer “YES” to all six questions, you probably don’t have an ethical problem.An ethical dilemma I have recently witnessed was the hiring of a blind employee. It is an ethical and right decision to hire a blind employee as per the Canadian Labour Standards board. It is an ideal decision of a company to hire a diverse array of people within their organization.

Suppose that the blind worker has personal problems that are very severe. This has been affecting his/her job performance. He/she is then offered counseling, but refuses the offer or does not take it seriously. Other members of the organization may complain about the blind employee's performance because he/she is not achieving their expectations of a co-worker. If the manager was to dismiss the blind worker, she may suffer severe financial consequences. However, if he/she remains within the organization, many employees within the firm will suffer.

The manager would then be faced with a perfect situation to use the ethics test on.On an initial decision, a manager may think of both the employee and the organization. Probably, the manager would be most concerned with the best of the organization and choose to dismiss the employee. However, when answering the ethics test questions, the following seem to be the most appropriate answers:Is it fair? This question is based on the theory of justice and implies that certain actions are just or unjust. For example, is it unjust to fire a high-performing employee to make room for a less competent personal friend? In the above situation, it may seem fair that an employee would be dismissed due to a lack of performance.Is it right? This question is based on the theory of ethics that there are certain universally accepted guiding principles of rightness and wrongness, such as 'thou shall not steal.” Referring to the above situation, it would seem right that an employee would be dismissed due to a lack of performance, but may be questionable due to that employee’s disability.Who could get hurt?

This question is based on the notion of attempting to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people. In the above situation, the blind employee will certainly be hurt. He/she will suffer the heartache of finding a new job while trying to provide for his/her family while unemployed.Would you be comfortable if the details of your decision were reported on the front page of the paper? This question is based on the principle of disclosure. This question could cause controversy in a manager’s mind. In the above situation, a manager may not want their decision to be reported on the front page of the paper because the initial decision of a reader may be that the organization is discriminating against the blind man/woman’s disability.Would you tell your child to do it? This question is based on the principle of reversibility.

It refers to the reversing of who carries out the decision. Referring to the above situation, a manager may teach their children to respect the disabled, but may also teach them of how important their workplace positions will be in their futures.How does it 'smell'? This question is based on a person's intuition and common sense. For example, underpaying many accounts payable by a few dollars may 'smell' bad to a sensible person. The “smell” of this decision is questionable.

Business And Society Mcgraw-hill

Referring to the above situation, a manager may not be sure of the “smell” of the decision to dismiss a blind employee.In conclusion, all ethical problems benefit from being applied to the Bentley College Centre for Business Ethics Test. Since not all questions above could be easily answered in the Ethics Test, it confirms that this is definitely an ethical situation. A person's, or business', initial decision will likely need to be adjusted to represent the best possible ethical decision. For example, an initial decision to dismiss the employee might be changed to retaining and further assisting the employee after the application of the ethics test.
