Remember after 9/11 when the federal gov't bailed out the airlines?\n\nThat's coporate welfare.  The free market took good care of them, and they went bankrupt.  Seeing what a large industry they support (with so many workers), it seemed like a better bet (for the economy) to help the airlines stay afloat then to let them collapse.  \n\nThis was done with tax money.  It helps everyone who works in the industry (and support industries). Also, it helps (a lot) the incompetent executives who allowed the airline to get into such bad shape.  \n\nIt hurts the American taxpayer who is helping a coporation to turn a profit.

If you have a strong basic understanding of human motivation (also known as greed), then you are well on your way to understanding economics, trade transactions, and marketing.  In any exchange, or service transaction, each party is trying to get the best deal, or earn something, for themselves.  Sometimes, this goes too far, leading to unethical, unscrupulous or even criminal behavior.  In looking at any scenario, you always have to ask, what is each party trying to get?  What is success from each party's point of view?

Corporations are given the rights of individuals and should be held accountable by the same standards. Like all good citizens they have a responsibility to protect the environment of the communities they reside in as well as the places where their products are used. They also have a responsibility to protect their employees from environmental and workplace hazards.\n\nThey have a responsibility to their customers, employees and stockholders to operate their businesses honestly and fairly. They must avoid deception and the appearance of deception.\n\nUnfortunately corporations have accepted the rights of individuals and have avoided the responsibility portion of the formula. Corporations today have very little regard for communities they reside in.  They hide under the shield of multinationalism. They operate everywhere with responsibility to no one. They strip natural resources from countries without environment protections statutes. When they are forced to clean up their act they simply move to the next third world country. They have a total disregard for people, governments and cultures. They do the absolute minimum required. They have no regard for others.\n\nModern corporation operate for the benefit of their executives and key investors, and no one else. They routinely shift resources between corporations at the expense of the common stock holder. They have become so powerful that they manipulated governments and even instigate wars to protect their assets. Today’s corporations have become the monsters without souls and new laws need to be written to protect society from them.

The upper managment likely has a large portion of ownership.  If they increase the bottom line, they're indirectly increasing their own profits.  With most people, this greed wins out so they increase the bottom line versus caring for the employees.

A good example of outsourcing is:\n\n A large company that occupies a large block of offices and outsources its cleaning services.  This means that they don't have to employ cleaners, deal with staff issues such as sickness and holidays and their offices are cleaned to an agreed standard by an agreed time every day.  The logistics of how that is achieved are then down to the cleaning company and not the large company in the office block.  In a case such as this, it would probably cost more for this service than if they employed their own cleaners but they have the service without the headaches of employing the staff.\n\nIt is not always about saving money, sometimes it is just about getting a better, more reliable and efficient service.\n\nA lot of companies who outsource services take the view that they should stick to what they know and let others do what they do best.  That way everyone wins and everyone does their job to the best of their ability.\n\nOf course, like everything it can be abused and sometimes it is just a cheaper way and not necessarily the best way of getting a job done......but if it is done properly then it can work really well.

Big corporations give big money which then requires elected officials to push policies that promote the needs and wants of the companies.  If an elected official had to have a bake sale to pay for the elction it may change how they vote on major issues such as medical care and recycle... no large companies pulling the strings and a politition may actually have to think for himself.  WOW!  A congress person who had to think for themselves.  What a world.

Social responsibility has to come from within. That means from top-down directives from management goals and bottoms-up mechanics from the lowest person on the totem pole. It also has to be promoted, not just once, but on an on-going basis. This means:\n\n1. Top down directives: Have the social responsibilty in the company mission statement or in its directives.  \n\n2. Bottoms up mechanics:  Install rules that incentivize social responsibility and discourage negative behavior . \n\n3. Promote the culture of social responsibility.  Have meetings once a year to talk about it, post notifications on the bulletin boards/intranet, publicize positive behavior, organize events that are socially responsible and educate new hires on its place/methods/benefits.

Ive said it before 1. class ism; where you have the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer; if you want to see an example watch the movie titanic where they lock up the poor below while the rich got on life boats 2. monopolies; where you have large corporations driving out the competition with predator pricing [ that means selling lower than the other guy and driving them out of business and then after raising you prices, like what the oil companies have done!] and 3. slave labor; where you have people working for less than a living wage and having to live with a lot of other people in a small space where they spread contagious diseases which happened with immigrants then and now! and if they are not hiring illegal slave labor to work here for minimum wage here then they are sending jobs over there were they pay even less!

How to convince people to keep giving money to an organization that has BILLIONS of dollars in assets, how to convince them that the organization STILL needs more of their money, how to cover up abuse (nuns verbally and physically abusing school children, priests sexually abusing children, etc), how to brainwash people so they hang on your every word, even when common sense tells them what you are saying is wrong, etc.

I think they are horrible. It would be different if we weren't giving away much more in corporate welfare. The extremely rich corporations get far more in welfare than do people who,come on people let's be honest, are really very poor.\n\n I worked with people who were on welfare in Chicago and trust me they are very poor.\n\n I have also worked with the beneficiaries of corporate welfare in real estate and land development and trust me they are very rich! \n\n You will also notice how our representatives gladly give away this corporate welfare but get real tough when it comes to giving money to very poor people. Why? Because the very poor can't fight back and the big corporations will make sure the representatives don't get re-elected if they don't get their money.\n\n http://www.progress.org/banneker/cw.html

Corporate NATIONALISM is when a corporation has exclusive contracts with, or benefits through, their home government\nthat do not necessarily reflect actual market conditions. Example: the French government automatically awards contracts to build military aircraft to Airbus, a mostly French-owned European aerospace company. Wheras our military is more apt to seek competitive bids for contracts. Automatically selecting Haliburton for certain contracts is an example of corporate nationalism in the US.\n   This practice is done because governments usually prefer to benefit a domestic company over a foreign one. Sometimes, only certain companies are trusted to handle sensitive contracts.

Because they're pathetic hypocrites.\n\nDon't forget, they also allow corporate welfare in the form of massive tax breaks. While the rest of us pay and pay and pay. Not fair.

Hi Ricardo,\n\nI think you need to look at the centralisation of the management structure and production processes.\n\nReduction in overheads.\n\nPossibly more effective inter-departmental lines of communication.\n\nEasier customer/supplier liason.\n\nPossible reduction in staff liabilities. (wages etc.)\n\nJust a few ideas to get you going. \nHope your studies are progressing well.\n\nGood luck

A great example is the Michael Jackson fiasco: it may not be illegal for him to share his bed with other peoples' male children, but it sure isn't the "right" thing to do. It's not really a business example, though, but his fans seem to believe that it's OK since it's not illegal. (shivers)\n\nIn business, many decisions are made just because they're "not illegal" maneuvers, though companies have started taking morals and ethics into account. Sadly, it's not something that seems to be catching on quickly enough.\n\nAn example might be a landowner buying up a city block and knocking the buildings down because he/she doesn't like the look of them. Maybe he went through all the legal hoops and bought out the residents to get them to move, but the residents still had to uproot themselves when they may have been just fine being left alone.\n\nOther examples could involve profit and advertising: I've heard that certain companies might be leery about advertising menthol or malt liquor products in "urban" areas because of the racial stereotypes such advertisement fosters. Now, to maximize profits, it may be a smart move to advertise there, but what are they really gaining other than money?
