Discussion The current week's readings center around Business Morals, Environmental Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Global and International Issues. These aspects are crucial in shaping a company's long-term strategy and achievement. Here are the critical ideas and reflections from the assigned chapters: Chapter 10: Business Morals, Social Responsibility, and Environmental Sustainability Business morals are integral to strategic management. Ethical practices align with societal values and contribute to a business's long-term achievement. Whistle-blowing, payoff, and workplace romance are highlighted as strategic issues, emphasizing the importance of managing these issues effectively. Chapter 11: Global and International Issues Globalization has made doing business globally essential for firms. Understanding the nature of global business, including labour union issues, tax rates, and the advantages and disadvantages of global operations. The challenges facing firms, for example, outsourcing and reshoring, highlight the dynamic nature of the global business landscape. Discussion Questions: Chick-fil-An is closed on Sundays. Is that wise management or irresponsible activism? Examine. This is a mind-boggling question that can be approached according to alternate points of view. On one hand, closing on Sundays can be seen as an insightful management decision that reflects Chick-fil-A's core values and corporate culture. According to its organizer, Truett Cathy, the company's motivation is "to commend God by being a faithful steward of all that is shared with us and to influence all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A decidedly". Chick-fil-A recognizes the Christian tradition of noticing the Sabbath as a day of rest and love by closing on Sundays. It also allows its labourers to contribute energy to their families and networks. This can encourage specialist satisfaction, loyalty, efficiency, and client appreciation and trust. In addition, closing on Sundays can create a sensation of scarcity and anticipation among clients, who will undoubtedly visit Chick-fil-An on various days of the week. A few studies have shown that Chick-fil-An's average sales per restaurant are higher than its competitors, notwithstanding being open for six days instead of seven. Of course, closing on Sundays can be seen as irresponsible activism that forces a strict agenda on a secular society and disregards the prerequisites and inclinations of clients and stakeholders. By closing on Sundays, Chick-fil-A may alienate potential clients who do not share its strict convictions or want to eat at its restaurants on Sundays. This can bring lost revenue, market share, upper hand, negative exposure, and backlash. Also, closing on Sundays may be seen as a kind of discrimination or exclusion, especially considering Chick-fil-A's controversial stance on LGBTQ+ issues. A couple of pundits have argued that Chick-fil-A's Sunday conclusion is not a

certifiable expression of faith; however, it is a marketing strategy that exploits religion to appeal to a conservative client base. ii.
