Preparation
Corporate social responsibility (CSR, also called corporate conscience, corporate citizenship, or responsible business) is a form of corporate self-regulation
integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a self-regulatory mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the
spirit of the law, ethical standards, and national or international norms. With some models, a firm's implementation of CSR goes beyond compliance and
engages in "actions that appeár to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law." The aim is to increase long-
term profits and shareholder trust through positive public relations and high ethical standards to reduce business and legal risk by taking responsibility for
corporate actions. CSR strategies encourage the company to make a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees,
investors, communities, and others.

Last year, eHarbour signed a contract with the United States Olympic Committee and US Sailing, the National Governing Body for the sport of sailing, to sponsor the US Sailing team in the upcoming Olympics. The marketing team hoped that sponsoring sailing at the Olympics would be good publicity to promote eHarbour software. Unfortunately, the venue for the Olympic Games had to be moved to a country that is now known for multiple human rights violations, including treatment of women and certain ethnic groups. There is now a lot of bad publicity with the upcoming Olympics. There have been articles appearing in newspapers and magazines demanding that corporate sponsors pull out from the upcoming Olympics. Some members of Congress have called for sponsors to withdraw sponsorship of the Olympics. Discuss whether eHarbour can withdraw sponsorship from the Olympics without violating its existing contract with the United States Olympic Committee and US Sailing. What defenses could eHarbour…

Microsoft purchased the online telecom company, Skype, to improve the video and voice communication capabilities of its Office products. In addition to gaining access to Skype's 107 million users, who were, on average, connected for over 100 minutes per month, the deal kept the platform away from rivals Google and Facebook. Microsoft knew that its business clients would benefit from Skype's friendly user-interface and sophisticated tools and features. However, the company currently had the homegrown Lync product in its portfolio, which was designed to integrate with Outlook and serve as clients' primary communications platform. Because of the redundancy of the two brands, Microsoft ultimately decided to eliminate the Lync brand and rebrand the tool's properties as Skype for Business. This allowed them to take advantage of the Skype brand's familiarity among consumers. Lync users could enjoy the same features they were used to but with the sleeker…arrow_forwardAmazon purchased Whole Foods.

Provide an economic framework, based on private and social benefits and costs that could guide the government in selecting the appropriate form and level of NPI. In the absence of a highly contagious disease, an individual engaging in activity x does not externalize any cost to others. In the presence of the disease, then an infected individual can transmit the disease to others during the performance of his or her activities. Suppose that there are three kinds of individuals: the uninfected, the infected and symptomatic, and the infected but asymptomatic. Would there be differences in the marginal social benefit of restricting activity for the three individuals? If yes, how are they different from each other?arrow_forwardIn August 2014 online retailer, Amazon, paid $970m to buy video-gaming service Twitch.
