Businesses and societies interact and influence each other through stakeholders like owners, employees, consumers, community members, and government. Factors like social ethics, corporate social responsibility, and social enterprises shape the relationship between business and society.
soical corporate responsibility
Business and society are interrelated in many ways. Large corporate scandals have threatened societies and damaged the images of businesses. Now, businesses want to generate goodwill in societies by contributing some of their profits to social welfare. In return, businesses gain social capital in the form of positive social relationships that can benefit them economically. Various large companies in India support social causes like healthcare, education, and the environment through dedicated foundations and initiatives.
Corporate social responsibility
This document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR). It defines CSR as businesses behaving ethically and contributing to economic development while improving the quality of life of employees, local communities, and society.

It also discusses CSR initiatives in India, where CSR programs address socioeconomic issues like poverty and education. Several large Indian companies are discussed that have engaged in CSR activities for many years.
Galanz
Galanz started as a garment manufacturer in 1978 but switched to producing microwave ovens in 1991 after identifying greater potential in the Chinese market. They took initiatives like producing their own magnetrons to reduce costs, increasing production capacity through transferring production lines, and investing in R&D and production innovation. They collaborated with large retailers to familiarize their products overseas. While their focus on low costs and high production led to issues like non-stop production and demand that exceeded forecasts, they solved problems like supplier retrenchment and customized demand through outsourcing, transitioning to an ODM model, and improving customer service.
Case 6
W.C. Wood Company refocused on home appliances and opened a new facility in Mexico to compete with Chinese imports. It focused on cost cutting, special features, and innovation. Each production line was responsible for its own quality and design. However, warranty claims were high and not all distribution partners used the recommended Basiloid handling method, resulting in product damage during distribution. The recommendations were to appoint more sales representatives to audit damaged products, install Clear-pack packaging initially before upgrading, and purchase from a different supplier if switching to Clear-pack.
Case 2
This case study examines the product development team at Medi Sys Corp and identifies good practices like an entrepreneurial culture and cross-functional collaboration, as well as bad practices like internal conflicts, outsourcing software development, and a lack of employee feedback. The recommendations include avoiding outsourcing, using modular design to reduce costs, focusing on quality over deadlines, and improving communication between staff.
Case 4
AIC optimized their netbook assembly process by shifting production to China for lower labor costs. Their assembly line was staffed by 10 operators, each responsible for a specific assembly task, and floaters who were cross-trained. The line produced a netbook every 50 seconds. While the line ran smoothly, some issues included non-standard operations, idle stations between work, and supervisors problem-solving ad hoc. Recommendations included keeping floaters permanently assigned, reducing product complexity, and increasing assembly line stations.
Case 3
FoldRite Furniture Co. was planning to meet increased demand by replacing their simple furniture line with innovative products and trimming other lines. However, this led to high turnover among inexperienced factory workers, increased idle inventory, and inefficient forecasting, adding costs. The recommendations were to emphasize good labor relations and training, increase productivity through high-tech tools, and carefully coordinate components to minimize work-in-process inventory.
Operation strategy at galanze
The case study discusses a company that failed to properly update its R&D, arrange prototype testing, and understand cultural differences in overseas markets. This led to communication gaps, overstock of unpopular products, and shortages of popular products. To improve, the company must enhance product quality, customer service, adopt a global marketing strategy, maintain proper inventory levels, and strengthen its distribution channels.
Wc wood company
WC Wood started in 1930 designing small electrical equipment for farms, later expanding into hardware, military equipment, farm equipment, and home appliances between 1950-1974. By 1980, WC Wood became Canada's largest manufacturer of chest freezers, upright freezers, and single door refrigerators, and later the second largest freezer manufacturer in North America. The company focused on increasing production capacity and reducing costs globally by sourcing more components internationally and opening a new plant in Mexico. Problems arose from faulty packaging design that led to increased damaged products and customer complaints of scratches and dents.
Abici
This case study discusses a bicycle company that innovated by focusing on design and art for their bicycles and holding parties and trade shows instead of traditional advertising. They also partnered with other brands to promote and distribute their high-end bicycles. Despite a global recession, their niche positioning led to a 25% increase in bicycle sales. However, the company struggled with distribution, lacked understanding of competition and markets, and had conflicting decisions about importing raw materials. It is recommended that the company purchase some components internationally, increase margins, build their own brand image, and automate processes for long-term profitability.
