Suppose TouchTech, a hand-held computing firm, is selling stocks to raise money for a new lab-a practice known as finance. Buying a share of Touch Tech stock would give Andrew the firm.

Check all that apply. TouchTech earns revenue when Andrew purchases 100 shares, even if he purchases them from an existing shareholder. The price of his shares will rise if TouchTech issues additional shares of stock.

The following quote appeared in an article entitled ‘Business and society in the coming decades’, which was available on the website of McKinsey & Company (accessed in October 2015). “There are compelling reasons companies should seize the initiative to drive social and business benefits. First, in an interconnected world facing unprecedented environmental and social challenges, society will demand it. Increasingly, a basic expectation among customers, governments, and communities will be that the companies they do business with provide a significant net positive return for society at large, not just for investors. This will be part of the implicit contract or license to operate”. Now a) Explain the above statement in the context of corporate social responsibility.  b) Further, do you think such a statement would impact the perceived ‘legitimacy’ of companies? Explain.
