Different people have very different ideas about the general
social obligations of business.
On the one side, Milton Friedman argued that the most
important social obligation of business was simply to be
profitable. He maintained that all other goals had to be
considered secondary. As Friedman saw it, businesses are set up
specifically by their owners to achieve business goals which
cannot be achieved without profits. A business that loses money
cannot meet its obligations to its owners, to its employees, or
even to the government in terms of taxes. While Friedman felt
that philanthropy and social goals were fine for businesses, he
argued that those could never be achieved anyway unless the
business was first profitable. On the other side, some
proponents of the stakeholder view of business argue that
businesses have equal obligations to all stakeholders, including
bystanders and society at large, and thus that profits should not
be the primary goal of business.
Those kinds of underlying differences in attitudes towards the
social obligations of business notwithstanding, it is certainly
true that many businesses see the prepping up of their social
reputations as an important aspect of their marketing strategies.
Touting specific charities and other forms of philanthropy,
espousing environmental concerns, or supporting social
outreach programs can affect good will and sales. Thus, the
businesses who most promote their philanthropy and social
responsibilities may also just be trying to maximize their profits
using all the tools at their disposal. Indeed, it seems that the
businesses who are the most likely to be affected by their social
reputations are often also the ones most likely to tout their
social responsibilities.
In this context, is first to identify some specific recent business
philanthropic and social endeavors (including charity support,
environmental actions, social outreach and/or community
support, etc.) Next, your task is to carefully consider the full
motivations of these efforts and their likely impact on the
bottom line for the businesses in question and for society at
large.
