2.51 Corporations
and social responsibility
A corporation is an artificial entity. Discuss whether the rights of
this artificial entity should ever take priority over the rights of textbook solutions
and communities.
There is not necessarily a ‘right’
answer to this question. Everyone will have their opinion and arguments to
support such opinions. Discussion could include:
· A corporation does not
physically exist and cannot think or act without humans acting as agents. They
are creations of the state and have evolved over time to the form that they
take today. How they should be allowed to evolve is linked to what their role
is and this varies depending on one’s textbook solutions.
· A corporation’s existence
comes about because the laws of its jurisdiction allow this. The laws can add
rights and responsibilities and take them away.
· Some students may argue that
individual rights should take priority over the rights of the corporation and
would regard it as objectionable to think otherwise. Others may argue there
should be less government regulation and therefore more rights for
corporations. The rest may just accept that is the way corporations and
business have evolved and that not much can be done to change this.
· To help the discussion maybe
an example could be introduced. One from the local area or from current media.
For example, should a corporation have a right to use the local water supply
before individuals because they can pay more per textbook solutions.
2.52 Ethics
Compare and
contrast teleological theories and deontological theories. Discuss whether you
think these theories have a place in the modern test bank shop society.
Teleological theories are concerned with the consequences
of decisions and if the actions result in good consequences then the behaviour
is said to be ethical. This raises two issues: (i) what is a desirable
consequence and (ii) upon whose judgement is the consequence examined. A number
of teleological theories have been proposed the most notable being ethical
utilitarianism (also known as consequentialism).
Deontological theories are those
concerned with duty. Theological ethics would fall within this theory as it is
concerned with the rules to followtest bank shop to religion. Another philosophy
under this heading is Kantianism.
Telelogical theories are to do with
consequences whereas Deontological theories are to do with motivation. Both
would have a place in the modern business world as examining motivation for
action and the consequences of action can help in business decision making.
2.53 GRI and Sustainability
During the 2011/12 year, Amcor was recognised
at the Ethical Investor Sustainability Awards. The judges commended Amcor for
‘using the principles of test bank shop sustainability to reposition its product

our overall integration of material non-financial concerns into company vision
and strategy, management systems and risk management framework.
