Topic:
You've learned that many companies are dedicated to the concept of social responsibility. For example, Home Depot's employees build playgrounds in poor neighborhoods, and Tom's of Maine allows employees to use 5 percent of their paid work time to do volunteer work for nonprofit organizations. Find out why companies engage in such philanthropic activities. Do they do so because they result in more sales and are ultimately profitable or is it genuine philanthropy? Report on cases where companies "lose" money, know they are losing money but continue to engage in CSR practices anyway. Are companies socially responsible even if it costs them money, or are they socially responsible because it helps them make money? Share your conclusions with a broad business audience.

-Look at companies that are losing money constantly and still doing it. Also look at the long-run, does it have any benefits?

Essay Instructions: Task Name: Phase 6 Discussion Board 2
Deliverable Length: 200?300 words PART I
Details: Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 200?300 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Much of the focus this semester has been on professional ethics in organizations, though it has been acknowledged that your own personal ethical paradigm strongly influences your workplace choices. At the periphery, the social responsibility aspect of ethics has been hinted at; that is, to what degree are you obligated to others (regardless of who they are or where they live) to act in an ethical manner? Paying taxes, voting, obeying stop signs, pulling your cars to the side of the road when an emergency vehicle passes?these are all demonstrations of a personal commitment to social responsibility and ethical behavior.
Focus your discussion on the following:
? To what degree should organizations (non-profit and for-profit) bear social responsibility?
o They provide jobs, pay taxes, provide services and goods?but how much profit is enough?
o At what point should they be societally obligated to give back, or to give back more than they currently do?
? At what point should they stop producing products that contribute little to society?s welfare, even if it means fewer profits?
o If organizations are people, too (as stated by Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election [Huffington Post, 2011]), can they be trusted to do the right thing?
