Why or why not? The chapter defines global corporate citizenship as committing to serving various stakeholders. I think that Apple did demonstrate good global corporate citizenship. Even though many of the tragedies could have been avoided long before the audits were performed, I think that Apple responded well after learning of the mistreatment of its indirect employees. The company understood that corporate citizenship is increasingly important for their long-term success and took action by commissioning a month-long, independent investigation of the labor conditions at its suppliers’ factories in China.
We have already acknowledged that Mr. Allison was not very well suited for the job. There were other issues that include technical, ethical, legal, contractual and other project management related issues. Technical Issue: The technical issue is simple, the project simply did not test well. STI simply required all components to operate effectively and efficiently between temperature ranges of -65 degrees F to 145 degrees F (The Orion Shield Project, 2003). SEC failed at this due to the fact that their product will not operate above 130 degrees F, and that the requirements would not be able to be met without different materials (The Orion Shield Project, 2003).
2008, 1) The Line Foremen found themselves in non-union positions, responsible for ever-growing production quotas, untrained managers responsible for personnel issues, and administrative tasks. They held most of the responsibility and had little authority; as personnel the unions handled issues with their crews of hourly workers. Treadway did little to train the people in this position to deal the high stress environment and found itself faced with high turnover numbers in this pivotal position- a clear hindrance to the modernized Lima plant taking a number slot in productivity. Additionally, the line foremen found themselves without support from upper management who had come up from similar ranks- who held the we did so you can to attitude. Also there was a hierarchy that didn’t allow for upper management and the line foreman to mingle or be friends- thus making social situations awkward and adding additional strain to the management team/ line foreman relationships.
The subsidiaries had problems whit adapting the new program, because they could not understand it. That is why they decided to use their old and new accounting program parallel with each other. This was very laborious for the subsidiaries, and took a lot of time, reducing the efficiency. When the company continued to expand internationally, bigger problems arose. The management of the different subsidiaries were organised geographically, so big decisions where usually taken on a country to country basis.
For Canadian businesses, China still represents a vast untapped market for Canadian goods and services. For trade-dependent Canada, it is important to navigate this shift in global economic current by modifying its trade policies to ensure its continuous economic growth. Although trade with United States still continues to dominate its international trade and investment policy, Canada’s economic stability will depend upon its economic ties with China representing the second pillar of global economic growth. As China is slated to become the world’s largest economy in the near future, it is imperative that Canada focuses on strengthening its economic and political ties with China. As of today,
Disneyland management didn’t look at the depth of Chinese people needs. It just tried to match some obvious traditions and didn’t think further. The examples of misunderstanding Chinese habits are following: lack of Hong Kong-themed attractions, small park size and long queues as a result. Workers also complained they were overworked and underpaid. One of my recommendations would be to expand the park since this is one of the biggest complaints heard from visitors of Hong Kong Disney.
from China goes to Wal-Mart. This made Wal-Mart China’s eighth largest trading partner. Governments, businesses, communities, and individuals in countries around the world face both challenges and opportunities as a result of rapidly expanding economic globalization. Changes in a country’s economy can happen very quickly and can deeply affect people and institutions. The fact that Wal-Mart is a company not even a country; and is China’s eighth largest trading partner; just makes us realize how much economic growth depends on businesses to produce more goods and services faster and more efficiently.

This is especially detrimental because the information the graduates were presented with was incomplete and poorly composed . To add insult to injury, credit hours earned at ITT Tech are not transferrable to any school other than another ITT Tech campus . The debt
