24th Assessment 2 Corporate Social Responsibility and the Triple Bottom Line Impact Report Type: Outcomes assessed 1, 2, 3 & 4 Due Date: Week 6 (Due 24th May 2020 Sunday by 23:55 PM) Weight: 40% Length: Report should be 2,000 – 2,500 words Submission: Turnitin Assignment Description. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a controversial topic and is widely debated throughout the world and increasingly gaining more prominence in Australia. The concept is broad and embraces the concept that companies have societal obligations beyond the profit goals of shareholders. CSR requires companies to consider the other two aspects of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL): impacts to the environment and society. Companies are required to consider the interests of all stakeholders including investors, suppliers, consumers, employees and the community in conducting its business. CSR in the Tourism and Hospitality Industry discusses issues and challenges faced by organizations implementing responsible business practices within the travel, hotel, leisure and hospitality industries. Your discussion will examine the role that Tourism Australia contributes to support CSR events and activities. The hospitality industry has a large footprint both in the area of providing employment and consumption of natural resources like energy, water, waste and food consumption. Your report will discuss the CSR activities of your chosen company, from within the Australian Tourism, Hospitality & Travel Industry, with initiatives related to community development, equality and diversity of the workforce, progressive work practices, and many other environmental causes. (Special updates: During this global economic collapse caused by the outbreak of the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic, how would the public and government react to the role of large multinational companies’ Corporate Social Responsibility programs? When the economy slumps, will organizations still prioritise causes other than the bottom line?) Conduct appropriate research and include some critical discussion in your report. Consider the tactical and strategic forms of CSR in your report. Approach and Requirement Warning and advice: There are many sources of information available on the internet. You need to avoid plagiarising other people’s materials – do not exceed the cut-off limit of a 20% similar score. If you do not understand the requirements of the assessment task, please ask the lecturer for clarification. If you need help with paraphrasing, please seek help at student services. If you have issues with time management, the best approach is to have a note book and list down the due dates of all Assessment task and start working on the tasks from the first day be adding snippets of content into the outline of your report. The development of the report is important. Always start with a concept map or plan to guide you. Follow the standard format of writing university-lev.

Service Learning/Social Responsibility Project Each student is to do a Service Learning/Social Responsibility Project (SL/SRP). The SL/SRP has two components: (1) social responsibilities audit (SRA); and (2) a community service experience (CSE). During the course of the SRA and CSE, students are required to maintain a journal. A 12-15 page written report will follow completion of the project. The SRA and CSE CANNOT be completed with the same organization. Social Responsibility Audit (SRA): According to Investopedia.com: Definition of 'Social Audit' A formal review of a company's endeavors in social responsibility. A social audit looks at factors such as a company's record of charitable giving, volunteer activity, energy use, transparency, work environment and worker pay and benefits to evaluate what kind of social and environmental impact a company is having in the locations where it operates. Social audits are optional--companies can choose whether to perform them and whether to release the results publicly or only use them internally. Investopedia explains 'Social Audit' In the era of corporate social responsibility, where corporations are often expected not just to deliver value to consumers and shareholders but also to meet environmental and social standards deemed desirable by some vocal members of the general public, social audits can help companies create, improve and maintain a positive public relations image. Good public relations is key because the way a company is perceived will usually have an impact on its bottom line. Source: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/social-audit.asp I would include in the audit, looking at the company’s overall operations and its impact on the community and environment. Those impacts may be positive or negative. Ideally the SRA will be done with regard to the for-profit business for which you are currently working or your family owns. If that is not feasible, you may choose to audit any other local for- profit business that will allow you access or a department/division of the university. (If you want to use a national company, then the SRA would have to concern its local establishment, not the entire company.) Only one student will be approved to perform this SRA for any particular business. Approval will be first-come-first served. Therefore, students should email the professor as soon as possible with their requested organization for the SRA. Instructor approval of the company/firm should be sought by email and must be obtained before the end of the fourth week of the semester. Failure to timely receive approval will result in the student’s grade being reduced by 10 points per week, or part thereof, that approval is late. A student who has not gained approval by the end of the eighth week of the semester will fail the class. 2 You are minimally required to personally interact with senior staff/owners .

The Companies Act, 2013 requires every eligible company in India to spend 2% of their profits on Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) activities. The company’s Board is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring proper compliance with the requirement. CSR activities, unlike traditional charity, should be carried out in ‘project mode’ in areas specified in the regulations. The regulations also require preparation of a CSR policy & an annual action plan for undertaking targeted CSR projects during the year.

Seminar in Strategic-3 Management-V3B Ajay K. Garg 604-648-4495 [email protected] Executive Summary An executive summary is a brief section at the beginning of a long report, article, recommendation, or proposal that summarizes the document. It is not background and not an introduction. People who read only the executive summary should get the essence of the document without fine details. The executive summary is concise, typically one to two pages long, and presents the main points in a formal tone. For example, a business plan for an external audience includes financial information and details on the size and scale of a company. Startups seeking funding and investors treat the executive summary as a way to get the reader’s attention by highlighting specific financial requirements and how it impacts the business strategy. Summarize the information you’re presenting in a manner that keeps the reader engaged and motivated to continue reading. Introduction Introduction: The opening statement, paragraph, or section should clearly state the document’s purpose and the content to follow. Deciding on how to use this section comes down to the desired outcome for the reader or audience. They want to immediately find value in the information you present, so the details included in the introduction should grab and hold the reader’s attention. Company Information Company Information: When writing an executive summary for an external audience, include your company name, a description of your mission or purpose, contact information, location, and the size and scale of your operations. In some cases, the summary introduces the founders, investors, and corporate leadership. It might include background information of each that outlines previous industry or startup experience, or historical context on the current state of the company. When used in a presentation or research report, introduce the team presenting or responsible for the report’s findings. Products and Services Products and Services: The executive summary is the place to highlight the problem you solve or the need you fulfill. For a report, this is where you might highlight what you researched and what the reader should know about your findings. For marketing plans or product launch presentations, tell the reader why your service or product is relevant at this particular moment in time. Market Analysis Market Analysis: The executive summary of a business plan might profile the target customer and explain the market opportunity for a product or service. Consider answering questions like: Is there a five year plan for this market? How do you anticipate growing the customer base and improving market share? What stands out from your research about your customers that the reader should know before you summarize the rest of the business? Competition Analysis Competition Analysis: This section should include answers to the following questions: Wh.

Part I: Genetics – From Genes to Proteins, Mutations Background: DNA represents the architectural blueprint for all living systems, encoding specific instructions in the sequence of its four nitrogen-containing base pairs that are necessary for building the organism. During the process of transcription, the information in the DNA codons of a gene is transcribed into RNA. A change in the DNA sequence, for example as a result of a "mistake" during DNA replication, is defined as a mutation. Mutations may result in a change in the "blueprint," which may then change the resulting protein product. Assignment details for part one: Transcribe and translate EACH of the three following DNA gene sequences. Turn these in using the graphic organizer. The letters represent the DNA N-base sequences of the genes. The first is the original gene. The next two are mutations of the original. Note that the changes (mutations) are shown in red. Original Gene sequence 3'-T A C C C T T T A G T A G C C A C T-5 Mutated gene sequence 1 3’-T A C G C T T T A G T A G C C A T T-5' Mutated gene sequence 2 3’-T A A C C T T T A C T A G G C A C T-5’ Also, answer the following questions: What is the significance of the first and last codons of an mRNA transcript? What meaning do these mRNA codons have for protein synthesis? Did the mutations result in a change in the final proteins? If so, describe the change. In general, why might a change in amino acid sequence affect protein function? Part II: Inheritance of Traits or Genetic Disorders Background : Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that affects the respiratory, digestive, or reproductive systems of the body, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Bob and Sally are recently married. Upon deciding to plan a family, both Sally and Bob find out that they are both heterozygous for cystic fibrosis , but neither of them has symptoms of the disorder.

Part I: How does Trifles help us think about different perspectives or perceptions? Think about what the male/female characters in the play understand and perceive about the world around them--and consider what the men's and women's conversations and actions reveal about their attitudes toward the opposite sex . Part II : Reading Modern literature can sometimes be a frustrating quest for coherence and meaning. Modernist authors tend to omit explanations, interpretations, connections, and summaries that we are accustomed to in traditional literature. O'Neill's method in The Hairy Ape demonstrates a striking departure from traditional stage drama since audiences are faced with an exaggerated and stark realism, and with dialog that is crude, natural, and slangy. How do you react to the play? What happens to Yank that leads him to expose his primitive interior self? What happens at the end, and how are we--the reading or viewing audience--to interpret his death? Please post no fewer than 300 words, making sure to balance your answers to Parts I and II. You should use quotations from the text to support your points, but make sure they don't dominate your posts. .

How might the perspective have changed if the events were placed in a another location ? For instance, lynchings took place in the North, as well as the South. What is the significance of placing "Song for a Dark Girl" in the South? How would the impact have changed without that information? That is only one example. Part III: Although the focus of the week was race and ethnicity, Morrison, Hurston, and Walker present strong female characters. What characteristics do these stories imply are desirable ? Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of any one of these characters . Use examples from the text to support your argument. .

Part A Some questions in Part A require that you access data from Statistics for People Who (Think T hey) Hate Statistics . This data is available on the student website under the Student Text Resources link. Using the data in the file named Ch. 11 Data Set 2, test the research hypothesis at the .05 level of significance that boys raise their hands in class more often than girls. Do this practice problem by hand using a calculator. What is your conclusion regarding the research hypothesis? Remember to first decide whether this is a one- or two-tailed test. Using the same data set (Ch. 11 Data Set 2), test the research hypothesis at the .01 level of significance that there is a difference between boys and girls in the number of times they raise their hands in class. Do this practice problem by hand using a calculator. What is your conclusion regarding the research hypothesis? You used the same data for this problem as for Question 1, but you have a different hypothesis (one is directional and the other is nondirectional). How do the results differ and why? Practice the following problems by hand just to see if you can get the numbers right. Using the following information, calculate the t test statistic. Using the results you got from Question 3 and a level of significance at .05, what are the two-tailed critical values associated with each? Would the null hypothesis be rejected? Using the data in the file named Ch. 11 Data Set 3, test the null hypothesis that urban and rural residents both have the same attitude toward gun control. Use IBM ® SPSS ® software to complete the analysis for this problem. A public health researcher tested the hypothesis that providing new car buyers with child safety seats will also act as an incentive for parents to take other measures to protect their children (such as driving more safely, child-proofing the home, and so on). Dr. L counted all the occurrences of safe behaviors in the cars and homes of the parents who accepted the seats versus those who did not. The findings: a significant difference at the .013 level. Another researcher did exactly the same study; everything was the same—same type of sample, same outcome measures, same car seats, and so on. Dr. R’s results were marginally significant (recall Ch. 9) at the .051 level. Which result do you trust more and why? In the following examples, indicate whether you would perform a t test of independent means or dependent means. Two groups were exposed to different treatment levels for ankle sprains. Which treatment was most effective? A researcher in nursing wanted to know if the recovery of patients was quicker when some received additional in-home care whereas when others received the standard amount. A group of adolescent boys was offered interpersonal skills counseling and then tested in September and May to see if there was any impact on family harmony. One group of adult men was given instructions in reducing their hi.

Part A Some questions in Part A require that you access data from Statistics for People Who (Think T hey) Hate Statistics . This data is available on the student website under the Student Text Resources link. 1. Use the following data to answer Questions 1a and 1b. Total no. of problems correct (out of a possible 20) Attitude toward test taking (out of a possible 100) 17 94 13 73 12 59 15 80 16 93 14 85 16 66 16 79 18 77 19 91 a. Compute the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient by hand and show all your work. b. Construct a scatterplot for these 10 values by hand. Based on the scatterplot, would you predict the correlation to be direct or indirect? Why? 2. Rank the following correlation coefficients on strength of their relationship (list the weakest first): +.71 +.36 –.45 .47 –.62 3. Use IBM ® SPSS ® software to determine the correlation between hours of studying and grade point average for these honor students. Why is the correlation so low? Hours of studying GPA 23 3.95 12 3.90 15 4.00 14 3.76 16 3.97 21 3.89 14 3.66 11 3.91 18 3.80 9 3.89 4. Look at the following table. What type of correlation coefficient would you use to examine the relationship between ethnicity (defined as different categories) and political affiliation? How about club membership (yes or no) and high school GPA? Explain why you selected the answers you did. Level of Measurement and Examples Variable X Variable Y Type of correlation Correlation being computed Nominal (voting preference, such as Republican or Democrat) Nominal (gender, such as male or female) Phi coefficient The correlation between voting preference and gender Nominal (social class, such as high, medium, or low) Ordinal (rank in high school graduating class) Rank biserial coefficient The correlation between social class and rank in high school Nominal (family configuration, such as intact or single parent) Interval (grade point average) Point biserial The correlation between family configuration and grade point average Ordinal (height converted to rank) Ordinal (weight converted to rank) Spearman rank correlation coefficient The correlation between height and weight Interval (number of problems solved) Interval (age in years) Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient The correlation between number of problems solved and the age in years 5. When two variables are correlated (such as strength and running speed), it also means that they are associated with one another. But if they are associated with one another, then why does one not cause the other? 6. Given the following information, use Table B.4 in Appendix B of Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics to determine whether the correlations are significant and how you would interpret the results. a. The correlation between speed and strength for 20 women is .567. Test these results at the .01 level using a one-tailed test. b. The correlation between the number co.
