For starters, it can be argued that all businesses have a moral obligation to better society in some way for the sole reason that it is the right thing to do. More specifically, though, these businesses are some of the few entities, aside from…

Many Global Organizations have a reputation of unfair practices regarding the treatment of their employees when it comes to environmental issues and social responsibility. It appears that the reason for this is there are no real ties to any one local organization or party. “This criticism of multinationals is valid to a point, but it must be remembered that no corporation can successfully operate without regard to local social, labor, and environmental standards, and that multinationals in large…

However, there are some generalizations made from these body of research. For example, one such generalization is that there are some human resource management/industrial relations issues that tend…
