Company Q in the scenario provided has a very poor attitude towards social responsibility because though they provide some basic aspects like Economic and Legal they fall short in Ethical and Philanthropic aspects. We will examine ways that Company Q can improve those lacking aspects. The first potential improvement is in the store closing situation of the scenario where Company Q closed two stores in high crime rate areas. Company Q has the right to be profitable and if they report that these stores are losing money then they have every right to close those stores but they made no efforts in the Philanthropic aspect of social responsibility. Company Q could have made investments in the local community that would have potentially improved the community thus decreasing the crime rate.

Metro PCS’ poor brand identification is largely due to their marketing focus on a very narrow demographic. In 2012, Metro PCS released plans to broaden their marketing focus outside of their norm of young urbanites to families, expanding their family plans, which is a good start to gain more brand identification. However, their ads have been touted as “ethnic stereotypes…that perpetuate negative images of any community of people” (adage.com). Although the additional marketing has perhaps turned a few new heads in their direction, but the classless marketing style has just perpetuated their most profound dilemma: brand image. A partnership with Rhapsody has given appeal with a wide variety of tunes available for popular
Just a few years before this document was written such events as the Massacre at Wounded Knee happened, I believe this was just too fresh in the minds of government officials that they didn’t want to risk having another situation similar to this with the Chinese.

They would live in the worst of conditions and eat as little as possible to try to save as much as they could to take back to their families in China. This is a very real problem because they start to become leeches, for lack of a better word, and they put none of their wages back into the US economy. This could in turn hurt the economy if too many of the immigrants were living this kind of
He “ranged freely over music, literature, art, and other subjects,” but could not agree with what was taking place at Coney Island. Critics like him who had visited the island could not deny the fun environment, but felt that when people arrived a Coney Island, they lost their mind and moral values.

Under this situation, if the other members just conform blindly for the fear of being left alone by others, the out-of-date food sold in the market might hurt the health of the consumers and negatively harm the company’s long term benefit in the end. On the other hand, there is also another reason why we should avoid conformity that is because to conform blindly to the former conclusion might limit the process of innovation. Think about all the great inventions in human history, none of them is result of conformity but instead they are the result inventor’s innovation and the result of breaking the stereotype. Only by getting rid of conformity can we increase the speed of a society’s
