    Manufacturing companies who implement the ABC method typically accumulate revenues greater than $100 million dollars. These companies are believed to be able to contribute the resources and human capital necessary to implement the ABC method due to the increases in net income. Therefore, manufacturing companies who earn less than $100 million may opt out of implementing the ABC method because they may not have the financial and non-financial resources available to contribute to its implementation. In addition, the internal and external economies of scale impact a manufacturing company’s ability to implement the ABC method. For example, a manufacturing company’s available resources depend on cost savings despite the industry (internal) or the organization of the manufacturing company’s industry (external).…

    However, upon learning from the tutorial, I further realised that the conceptual framework has contributed some significant impacts on the functioning of a company, combining aspects such as the objective of financial reporting, accurate financial measurement elements, and the organisational characteristics. Also not limited to those identified categories, there are more concerns with relation to society and environment should be focused on too. As an illustration, the triple bottom line accounting theory has driven more attention from the public sector towards the sustainability of our environment (Slaper & Hall, 2013). In addition, the benefits absorbed from the compliance with triple bottom line theory are mainly focusing on helping a business make reasonable decision while concerning the drawbacks that it has to the current environment ( Slaper & Hall, 2013).…

    The current state of the globalized economy and the principals of neoliberalism exemplify the concept of having too much of a “good thing”. In this case the concept of free trade, as a good thing, can be debated. The current intensity of free trade global structure has led to exploitation of workers, communities and the global South. It empowers major corporations, both in the North and corporations run by elites in the South, to further deteriorate working wages, standards and well beings. Profit has been shifted above people, and many are seeking an alternative to these negative externalities.…

    Rob Reich lectures that blurred lines between the private, public (government), and social sectors have altered how social change happens in the economy. He explains that the shifts in behavior and responsibilities across the traditional sectors have led to improper behavior and decision making, which has also led to the poor management of responsibilities. While the blurred boundaries stress the existing laws, regulations and expectations, the overlap in the boundaries created is a space for new social innovations. Social sectors are nonprofit organizations, where private action produces public benefits. They are the image of community and voluntarism.…

    Jim Collins (2005) tells his readers that the notion that nonprofits should behave like a for-profit organization is “dead wrong” (p.1). I agree with this statement, however, one must be careful to understand the context of the authors point. Collins (2005) is mindful to emphasize the distinction between what makes organizations good versus great; and asserts that the competencies that make for-profit organizations truly great are not proprietary. The focus then should not be on whether an organization is a for-profit or nonprofit entity, but rather on whether the organization “delivers superior performance and makes a distinctive impact over a period of time” (Collins, 2005, p.5).…

    We have been brought up with the misconception that the primary purpose of corporations is to increase profit for their shareholders even in cases of eleemosynary organizations. Milton Friedman in his 1970 article The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Profit, illustrates that the central responsibility of a business is “to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits” (pg 6). His reason being those corporate executives and managers are agents who are morally and legally obligated to act in the best interest of their principle. Friedman’s’ neoliberal economics, is being contested by stakeholders theory which takes socially responsible into consideration. Dana Brakman Reiser in the article The Next big Idea: Flexible Purpose Corporations introduces the idea that social enterprises have multiple objectives, which are to earn profits for owners and promote social good.…
