This document discusses various topics related to corporate social responsibility and supply chain management in different industries. It addresses issues like human rights, child labor, sustainability practices, and ethics in global supply chains. Several articles summarize efforts by large companies to improve oversight and accountability in their supply chains as well as challenges around ensuring ethical practices in outsourced production.
The three documents summarize the impacts of disruptions in global supply chains from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The summaries discuss how the disaster halted automotive and electronics production, affected nearly a tenth of Japanese farmland, and could result in the loss of over 600,000 vehicles from halted assembly lines. Global organizations were prompted to rethink supply chain management strategies due to long-lasting impacts and aftershocks in global supply networks from the natural disasters in Japan.
This document summarizes 14 sustainability trends for 2014, including more extreme weather events highlighting the impacts of climate change, rising costs from billion-dollar storms, threats to global food security, and impending water conflicts. It also discusses the transition to renewable energy, shifts in the fossil fuel industry, the growing economic impacts of sustainability for companies, and rising political power of developing nations. It concludes by highlighting tools and programs in Wisconsin to help businesses adopt sustainable practices.
This document discusses expectations for corporate social responsibility and sustainability. It provides insights from a survey of consumers in the US, UK, and France.
The key points are:
1) Consumers now expect corporations to take on roles beyond profit-making, such as driving social change and reducing poverty.
2) Most consumers believe corporations have as much responsibility as governments for social progress and view ethical conduct as important for business success.
3) Many consumers actively research company ethics and will change purchase decisions based on this information shared online.
4) Sustainable practices are increasingly seen as a competitive advantage, and the most successful future businesses will integrate sustainability.
Social Crises: Best Practices, Cautionary TalesEric Weaver
This document provides best practices and cautionary tales for responding to social crises based on a presentation by Eric Weaver of IPG Mediabrands.

TVA p3 RISK examples and lessons learned 151022Peter Burgess
This document discusses various examples of risks and lessons learned from failures to properly account for and manage risks. It describes risks that led to the BP oil spill, fracking accidents, ignition issues at GM that caused deaths, and emissions cheating at VW. It argues that conventional accounting focuses only on profits and ignores external risks. A new approach called True Value Accounting is needed that incorporates risks and their potential long-term costs and impacts. Proper risk management requires quantifying the scale of risks, likelihood of events, sufficient insurance pools, and periodic payments into those pools.
The document summarizes the key drivers of the rise of collaborative consumption as an economic trend:
1) Resource depletion due to unsustainable consumption patterns has led to scarcity of resources like water, biodiversity, minerals, and topsoil. This reflects a state similar to "peak oil" where demand outstrips supply.
2) The 2007/2008 financial crisis and resulting recession triggered job losses, stagnating wages, and decreased asset values. Governments implemented austerity measures that further rattled economies.
3) Technological innovation enabled new digital platforms and sharing networks through smartphones, social media, and cloud computing. These reduced transaction costs and matched supply with demand.
4) Younger generations like Millenn

The document is the 2010 report from the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) identifying the largest 300 cooperatives in the world by revenue. It provides an overview of the cooperative sector's total revenue of $1.6 trillion, which would make it the 9th largest economy in the world. The report also includes breakdowns of revenue and rankings for the top 20 cooperatives in various industry sectors such as agriculture/forestry, banking/credit unions, and consumer retail.
The Golden Economy: the consumer marketplace in an ageing societyukactive
- The document discusses the growing market of older consumers, as people are living longer and the population is aging. It notes that older consumers currently spend significant amounts and will continue to grow as a percentage of the total consumer population.
- However, it argues that older consumers should not be viewed as a single homogenous group. Factors like age, generation, income, values and cognitive abilities all impact consumer behavior and preferences differently for different older adults.
- Many companies have been slow to recognize and cater to the older consumer market. But those that understand the diversity within older age groups and segment them appropriately stand to benefit from the substantial spending of an aging population.

The article discusses how companies must adapt to the digital economy or risk failure. It notes that the most adaptable companies will thrive, citing Darwin's theory of evolution. The digital economy is disrupting many industries as companies like Google, Amazon, and Netflix reshape markets. While most CEOs believe the digital economy will impact their industry, few have plans to transform digitally. The article argues that companies must embrace change and new technologies like mobility, cloud computing, and data analytics or they may cease to exist within 10 years.
What does our economy look like in the age of automation? What plans do the world's largest companies have - think Amazon, Alibaba and Alphabet - for our collective future? How will we fit into the world that they're building?

This document provides an overview of Market Maker Capital's private placement memorandum. It discusses trends in the market environment that have created opportunities for alternative investment strategies. Specifically, it notes that traditional securities provide little return in a low interest rate environment while exposing investors to significant risk. The document highlights demographic trends like an aging population that will reduce demand and create a systemic event. It argues the current market is in a credit bubble and overvalued. The fund aims to protect capital during downturns and acquire assets at lower prices.

1) The document discusses the opportunity for technology to improve organizational efficiency and transition economies into a "smart and clean world."
2) It argues that aggregate efficiency has stalled at around 22% for 30 years due to limitations of the Second Industrial Revolution, but that digitizing transport, energy, and communication through technologies like blockchain can help manage resources and increase efficiency.
3) Technologies like precision agriculture, cloud computing, robotics, and autonomous vehicles may allow for "dematerialization" and do more with fewer physical resources through effects like reduced waste and need for transportation/logistics infrastructure.
The document discusses the rise of the sharing economy. It argues that economic challenges like unemployment, debt, and scarce resources are driving the growth of collaborative consumption models enabled by new networking technologies. These models allow underutilized assets and skills to be monetized, creating new opportunities for both individuals and businesses. The sharing economy empowers people in developing economies and removes physical boundaries to access global markets. While concerns exist around regulation and data privacy, the networking effects of these new platforms are opening up new peer-to-peer models that are disrupting traditional industries and hierarchies.
This document summarizes a series of conversations and resources on the business impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses perspectives from professors at Wharton and Stanford business schools on the effects on economics, supply chains, consumer behavior, and remote work. McKinsey research is also summarized on ongoing shifts in consumer sentiment and spending. The document explores lessons from previous global disruptions like pandemics and wars. It dispels myths that economies will not bounce back and discusses industries that are thriving in the current conditions. Both positives like increased connectivity and negatives like job losses are noted.
Presentation I've prepared for a number of upcoming conferences. It is based on more than 80 interviews with managers, heads of sustainability and CEOs.
The document discusses how the economic crisis has changed everything and how understanding historical context is important. It summarizes that economic growth has been fueled by cheap fossil fuels but that growth cannot continue indefinitely as energy supplies become constrained. It outlines strategies for building resilient communities that can better withstand economic and energy challenges.

The novel coronavirus has made supply chains everyone's business. On top of that, the climate crisis is forcing us to come to grips with how man-made supply chains affect the environment.
Put simply; Human activity is causing climate change. All human activity is driven by supply chains. We can't solve the climate crisis until we refashion global supply chains such that they no longer harm our environment.
Working on climate change without first refashioning supply chains is like treating the symptoms of a disease without curing the underlying illness.
In this booklet, Lisa Morales-Hellebo and I explore why the transformation of supply chains is inevitable, and why that presents the biggest investment opportunity of our lifetime.

The Corporation and
Its Stakeholders
Business corporations have complex relationships with many individuals and organizations in soci-
ety. The term stakeholder refers to all those that affect, or are affected by, the actions of the firm. An
important part of management’s role is to identify a firm’s relevant stakeholders and understand the
nature of their interests, power, and alliances with one another. Building positive and mutually ben-
eficial relationships across organizational boundaries can help enhance a company’s reputation and
address critical social and ethical challenges. In a world of fast-paced globalization, shifting public
expectations and government policies, growing ecological concerns, and new technologies, manag-
ers face the difficult challenge of achieving economic results while simultaneously creating value for
all of their diverse stakeholders.
This Chapter Focuses on These Key Learning Objectives:
• Understanding the relationship between business and society and the ways in which business
and society are part of an interactive system.
• Considering the purpose of the modern corporation.
• Knowing what a stakeholder is and who a corporation’s market and nonmarket and internal and
external stakeholders are.
• Conducting a stakeholder analysis and understanding the basis of stakeholder interests and
power.
• Recognizing the diverse ways in which modern corporations organize internally to interact with
various stakeholders.
• Analyzing the forces of change that continually reshape the business and society relationship.

COVID-19- IMPACT ON THE MANUFACTURING & INDUSTRIAL SECTORSManish Parsuramka
Welsh Consultants examines- As we work through our new normal amidst this global pandemic, we have been forced to reconsider how we operate our businesses and daily lives. Any changes have ripple effects across our communities and local-economies.Change is needed to survive, and so we adapt. Crisis is the ultimate disruptor, change facilitator, and accelerant. Companies that were perhaps reluctant to embrace changes are now obligated to prepare and deliver new services. Innovations become abundant and creativity thrives. Areas like AI, Automation, IoT, and PropTech are areas we can’t ignore as we also explore a pandemic response strategy. The first question is: “Will the crisis prompt manufacturing companies to carry out a top- to-bottom review of their global supply chains with an eye towards reducing risks?” This paper examines the issue in detail.
This document outlines 14 sustainability trends for 2014, including more extreme weather events highlighting the impacts of climate change, rising costs of storms and threats to global food and water security.

It notes that we have moved from an era of change to a change of era, with exponential technological advances like computing, communication, and data storage transforming business models. Institutions face challenges to their gross margins, unique selling points, and value propositions. To adapt, companies must focus on their purpose and creating value through innovation, agility, and a culture that attracts top talent. Metrics need to assess future potential, not just past financials. The rise of startups and networks means disruption is here to stay.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
