...Consensual Relationship Agreements Case Study Professor John Mitchell Lithonia Campus BUS 520 – Organization and Leadership October 30, 2012 Strayer University Abstract This paper will discuss Consensual Relationship Agreements in the workplace. Within the paper, I will argue for the use of CRAs in the workplace by explaining the benefits. I will also present a counter argument against the use by explaining the cons. Ethical principles and other options are also discussed. Argue for the use of Consensual Relationship Agreements (CRAs) in your current (of future) workplace. Office romances are almost inevitable when you place people with the same interest together for more than 40 hours a week. These relationships may form between co-workers on the same level, as well as subordinate and manager. Let’s think about this. What happens if this relationship ends on bad terms? The subordinate can state that they were coerced into the relationship. This situation will definitely be a liability to company, opening it up to litigation concerning harassment. In order to mitigate this situation, it would be beneficial for a company to consider having Consensual Relationship Agreements (CRA). A CRA is a written contract in which the parties involved acknowledge that the relationship is consensual and voluntary. The parties understand that they have to remain professional and not allow the relationship to affect the performance. They also agree to avoid behavior...

...that the only social responsibility of business is to increase its profits (Friedman, 1970). Since Friedman expounded his widely acclaimed philosophy on the social responsibility of business, many experts in the area of business and social responsibility have retaliated with their own views on corporate social responsibility (CSR). One of these views is the idea that businesses should go beyond the classic economic paradigm, a-la Friedman, to carry out certain responsibilities to society such as ethical and philanthropic responsibilities (Carroll, 1991). In order to have a better understanding of one’s position on the CSR debate, this essay will specifically target the corporate social responsibilities of businesses within a general New Zealand context so that one might precisely answer the question “Should Businesses Today Operate beyond Profits”? “Responsible governance” in New Zealand (NZ) management is equivalent to the organization’s “environmental, social and risk management practices and the interests of its shareholders and increasingly wide stakeholders (Birchfield, 2011). The definition of responsible governance seems to be in favor of the CSR position as businesses in NZ are clearly obliged to more responsibilities other than Friedman’s ultimate profit-maximizing goal. However, a resent consensus in the business consulting and corporate analysis marketplace shows that less than half of NZ listed companies have supplied reasonable evidence of accountability for any...

Corporate Social Responsibility is the interest that a corporation pursue for the greater good of the community, and overall society while still concentrating on sales and production. It was first introduce in 1990 in Europe when they were problems with abuse of the working environment such as child labor, poor workplace. There are many case of global CSR one prime example of it, is when a product is sold, a part of that money goes into charity. I feel like this is a fantastic idea, as not only is the company doing this helping other people out, the one buying the product is as well. Everyone gains something, and everyone is happy. Not many people have the luxury to donate directly, this method enables almost everyone to give back in a way. We always need to look at the big picture, if everyone...

Introduction It is without a doubt that globalisation has been the driver of the increased link between nations, allowing for the operation of many organisations in borderless economies. As globalisation continues to impact organisations, they are forced to undertake new and innovative approaches in order to maintain or gain a competitive advantage. As a result of this, many ethical issues have come to light, so it is important to acknowledge organisations adopting methods of corporate social responsibility. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) essentially encompasses the refraining from any action that will attract unfavourable publicity due to its social unacceptability (Carroll, 2010). The concept of CSR has proven to be an area of focus in recent times, especially in regards to consumers and stakeholders.
