that it has faced a dramatic evolution over the last fifty years, however the industry faces many

challenges from those who produce identical products.

Nike as other corporations in field of business, it doesn't operate in a vacuum, but it operates an

environment and even diversity surroundings whereby more laws, rules and regulations

exist.Nike operates diverse environment where by different rules and regulations exist.

Conducting business in communist countries is not preferred where the company may

nationalize, also making a business in some environment might be entry in early stage, in some

cases quota and tariffs may also hinder Nike's operations outside its parent country like

Venezuela or North Korea.

2. How the state of the economy does influence Nike's product?

As the matter of fact, the state of the economy effects Nike's products and its operation as whole.

Unstable economy is a threat for Nike and other businesses on the ground, in poor economy the

market would not constitute better performance, nonetheless poor economy leads to poor

production and consequently sells will decline for Nike. Due to slumping of economy Nike


reported that over 1400 jobs were to be cut out of whooping, 35000 jobs that Nike consists of

nationwide, surprisingly these cuts would be first since 1998 and 1999, the cut would affect the

economy of individual jobs, executive stated that the cut not for economic but for reorganizing

the company.

population changes is a threat to many business as Nike, and this changes comes from different

angles, as society's income, changes in buying pattern, age, gender and birth rate. Many of these

change not only effect for Nike, but the entire business. For instance, Nike's main target

customers are youth who in the field of many kinds of sport , if world's number of birth rate

declines, means Nike's productivity will decline ultimately, in countries where older people are

much more compared to the youth, the window of opportunity for Nike will be less.

5. How does the company's relationship with the supplier affect its profitability?

This question seem to be very obvious, in manufacturing process, one of the most important

thing that company requires in its production process is the raw materials, nothing can be done

without it. In order to make the operation more efficient and smooth having the required raw

material becomes very essential, however getting the raw material that with right quality, with

right quantity, with the right place, with the right time and with right cost will not be possible

without a good relationship with the supplier, thus good relationship with supplier is the key to

the success of the business.

technique for managing supplier responsibility has to a great extent evolved since the 1990s,

when the media discovered declared child labor, low paid workers, and poor working conditions

in several Asian countries (Rammohan, 2013).

PART TWO

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Introduction

The relationship between companies and the public has witnessed a remarkable change in the

past few years. Identifying the role and responsibilities of business in society has been the pursuit

and concern of many scholars for decades. In recent years the relationship between corporations

and society had witnessed a enormous revolution from the traditional classical view of business

as profit maximizing economic agents to a more ethical viewpoint that analyzes the better impact

of business on civilization (Safwat, 2015)

However this part I will try to discuss the theory of corporate social responsibility, its historical

background, meaning and definitions, advantages and disadvantages of corporate social

responsibility and lastly I shall try to present the different views about corporate social

responsibility, pro and opponents of this concept.

Background

The origins of Corporate Social Responsibility dates back to the 1960s, when issues such as the

social rights movement and ecological activism became part of the open debate. During this

time, some companies initiated to question their responsibilities in areas such as staffing

employees from minority groups and caring to the surroundings. (Sources: www.cga-pdnet.org).

According to one of the oldest known written documents, that account of Genesis by the biblical

writer Moses, human being was instructed by his Creator to “fill the earth and govern it”

(Genesis 1, 28), and is later challenged (The Berlin International Economics Congress, 2012)

Theory of Corporate Social Responsibility

Company's Social Responsibility is one of the theories that is regularly used by different people

under a variety of names, as philanthropy and patronage, nevertheless, this concept is presented

also as “corporate responsibility,” corporate governance” and “responsible business, the concepts

has advocates as well as opponents (Melikyan, 2010).

What is Corporate Social Responsibility?

Business social responsibility has been much admired amongst companies and top corporations.

particularly in the 21st century when environmental concerns, human rights, labor rights, fair

trade and many other concerns are becoming gradually more important to clients, stakeholders

and companies alike (Kan, Corporate Social Responsibility: A Profitable Alternative, 2012).


Company's social responsibility is not something that is obliging by law for businesses to pursue

and implement. Companies who want to carry out business more responsibly and contribute for

the better of society often prefer to implement Corporate Social Responsibility strategies (Kan,

2012).The relationship between business and the general public has experienced a remarkable change in

the past few years. Globalization, ethical consumerism, ecological concerns, firm government regulations,

and increasing strength of the civil society, are all factors that required businesses to re-evaluate their task

in the public (Safwat, 2015).

Definition of Corporate Social Responsibility

There is no official definition of Corporate Social Responsibility. Number of authors defines

differently. A comprehensive definition of Corporate Social Responsibility was given by Carroll, who

stated that “The social responsibility of business covers the economic, legal, ethical, and optional

expectations that the public has of organizations at a given period of time” (Carroll, 2006, p. 16).

A Carroll, provided complete definition of Corporate Social Responsibility he stated that “The

social responsibility of business encompasses the economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary

expectations that society has of organizations at a given point in time” (Carroll, 2006, p. 16).

Discussions regarding advocates and opponents of Corporate Social Responsibility

According to Aya Mohamed (2015) , recognizing the role and responsibilities of companies

within the public has been the pursuit and concern of many scholars for our present generation.

More debates have been evaluated on the topic of who should start Corporate Social

Responsibility activities.

According to the literature of Corporate Social Responsibility there are three possibilities.

Corporate Social Responsibility is a obligation imposed by government regulation, with the

result of similar CSR programs because of the obligation to comply with regulation.

CRS is not led by government, but by union of companies, activist and Accountable

managers that begin Corporate Social Responsibility framework and distribute the benefits of

Corporate Social Responsibility, upholding its use in their businesses.

Corporate Social Responsibility is based on the at company level in early stage in the search

for strategic advantage and the alteration of different social and environmental threats in

opportunities as a competitive advantage (Catalin, 2014)

Therefore, company's approach towards Corporate Social Responsibility varies between two

extremes either of dismissing the view completely or supporting best practices out of genuine


belief that Corporate Social Responsibility is a vital part of their business actions (Safwat,

2015).Within the globe of business, the main "responsibility” for companies has traditionally

been to get profit and enhance shareholder wealth, However, in the last decade, a

associations defining broader corporate responsibilities–for the environment, for local

communities, for working conditions, and for ethical practices–has gathered momentum and

taken hold.

Advocates of corporate social responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility advocates point out that no organization exists in isolation.

They believe that businesses, without exception, have an obligation to contribute as well as

draw from the community, on which they rely so heavily.

Proponents of Corporate Social Responsibility argue that socially responsible practices can

have a positive impact on the organization by improving employee recruitment and retention,

managing environmental risks by reducing harmful accidents, and differentiating brand to

achieve greater consumer loyalty.

Charles Handy makes a convincing and logical argument for the purpose of a business laying

beyond the goals of maximizing profit and satisfying shareholders above all other

stakeholders in an organization.

Philipp Kauffmann, a partner at the Center for Innovative Leadership, based in Amsterdam,

argues corporations that do not act in a socially responsible manner are discovering they are

not capable to attract or to retain “high potential” persons

According to Argandona ( 2008) companies should be socially responsible? Because society

represent most stake holder groups expectations, demands or requests.

Corporations should act accordingly within the society they operate, because the society

reflects the interest of of all stake holders, their demand, expectations and demands

(Argondona, 2011)

According to Stigson (2002) “it is clear that society expects much more from companies than

simply a well-made product or a reliable service at the right price” (p. 24)

Freeman (1984). Freeman argued that managers should tailor their policies to satisfy the

needs of all the stakeholders, not just those of the shareholders.

In 1932 American commentator Merrick Dodd argued „corporations, like persons, should

make every effort to be good corporate citizens by contributing to the public to a greater

https://www.boundless.com/management/definition/recruitment

https://www.boundless.com/management/definition/retention


extent than is generally Required‟ and therefore the corporation as an economic institution

has a social service as well as a Profit making function. (Kercher, 2006).

According to Svensson and Wood (2008:308), businesses are not just accountable for their

own economic requirements but are also expected to consider society‟s economic well-being.

Opponents of Corporate Social Responsibility

M. Friedman (1970) argued that Corporate Social Responsibility provide only the personal

gain of company managers in increasing their reputation in the public, consequently leading

to higher personal wages, while shareholders would experience loss because companies were

not profiting from Corporate Social Responsibility activities as these activities would incur

Only expenses.

One of a very active opponents of Corporate Social Responsibility, Gerard Fontana, advisor

to the European trade Union Confederation, claims that corporations use Corporate Social

Responsibility concept as a means to reduce public authorities and to weaken their role in the

the public; to reduce the role of trade unions; as well as to replace public laws and

regulations by corporate Codes of Ethics or Codes of Conduct which do not have any legal

value.

According to Milton Friedman (1970), the social responsibility of business begins and ends

with increasing profits, where the self-interested actions of millions of participants in free

markets should lead to positive outcomes for the society.

Milton Friedman and other conservative critics have argued against corporate social

responsibility, stating that a corporation's purpose is to maximize returns to its shareholders

and that it does not have responsibilities to society as a whole.

Milloy‟s argument is similar to the reasoning of Adam Smith and Milton Friedman they also

claim the CEOs are being hired to maximize share holders wealth as they put their money

into the business.

Steve Milloy, a mutual fund manager and Critic of Corporate Social Responsibility,

proclaimed the following: “Shareholders do not hire CEOs to be the U.N., to act like a

government or to be a charity. They were hired to make money for Shareholders, (as quoted

in Weiss, Kirdahy, & Kneale, 2008, para. 5).

According to Schaefer (2008) business should legally maximize long-term shareholder

wealth, because they invest the money not knowing whether they will generate money or not.


Whole concept of Corporate Social Responsibility is irrelevant to business (Freeman &

Liedtka, 1991), through those who see the significance, but think it is a bad idea for business

(Friedman, 1962), to the enormous group of authors who think that Corporate Social

Responsibility has strategic importance to business (Asongu1, 2007).

One of a very active challengers of Corporate Social Responsibility is, Gerard Fonteneau, the

consultant to the European trade Union Confederation, he says that this strategy corporate

social responsibility is increasing at a moment the multinational economic and financial

groups, definitely the international market economy itself, are going through a serious

internal crisis; witness many socially and ethically „‟irresponsible‟‟ practices: deceitful

bankruptcies, uncertain purchases, cheatings in the accounts, very high manager salaries,

disrespect for basic values. (Melikyan, Corporate Social Responsibility:A Fashion Trend or a

Serious Approach?, 2010).

My view point: It seems certain that there are many arguments for and against corporate

social responsibility regarding corporation's rule within the society, although the main

purpose of making business is to make a profit, this doesn't necessarily mean companies

should ignore the society it works within it, I am inclined the advocates of social

responsibility and I do believe that corporations has responsibility with in the public it

operates with in it, ignoring society's responsibility will be disastrous because corporations

don't operate in a isolation, they require the society in one way or another, and it's the society

that provides corporations all they required as money to sustain their operations, human

resources to make operations smooth and most importantly all the cash it covers it's expense

daily, in my point of view without Corporate Social Responsibility, corporation cannot gain

their desired results and altimetry will be out of the market

Advantages of Corporate Social Responsibility

1) Corporations are performing more responsibly towards their workers, environment and the

public at large.

2) Corporate Social Responsibility helps to bring the businesses and the public closer through

diverse community directed projects.

3) Corporate Social Responsibility makes the corporations to Think globally and act locally.

4) Business‟ activities are obtainable in their Codes of Conduct and Codes of ethics presented in

the websites which leads to transparency of their functions


5) Corporate Social Responsibility activities help companies to advance their brand images, to

obtain more clients which in its turn in most cases leads to rising of the companies‟ revenues.

Disadvantages of Corporate Social Responsibility

a) Some corporations are presenting excellent examples of their Corporate Social Responsibility

activities and demonstrate a responsible attitude towards the people.

b) In pursuing their wellbeing, some companies often act very recklessly causing huge damages

to the atmosphere and community.

Some large corporations are carry out Corporate Social Responsibility activities on a community

in slight level butthey are damaging the planet on a greatly. (sources: Hasmik Melikyan 2010)

During the 1990s, criticism of corporate practices escalated. A series of corporate scandals

emerged in the US. Numerous environmental Disasters caused by global corporations occurred

(Broomhill, 2007)

Awareness of the use of sweatshops and child labour in developing countries attracted the

attention of community activists in developed societies, the 1990s therefore witnessed an

explosion in civil group activism which led to both protests against and engagement with,

corporations (Bendell 2004)

Conservative opponents of Corporate Social Responsibility politics say: merely profit

maximization allows companies to work well and complete their duty towards society (Rusconi,

2010)

Conclusions

Initially the main reason of most companies doing a business has been making money, and

maximizing share holder's wealth, whatever the circumstances are. This concept has now

considerably been changed throughout the world; the idea of social responsibility has come into

light. The concepts of Corporate Social Responsibility has been on the spot light for many

scholars and researches, however corporations should act appropriately when conducting their

business activities with the society. The corporation's main aim should not only be profit

generation but they should bear in mind their responsibility towards the environment and the

society at large.
