...I chose to analyze CSR reports for both Shaw Industries Group INC and Duke Energy Corporation. A CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) report is essentially a business model formed to aid an organization's mission, as well as a guide to what the company represents for its consumers. The attributes that I believe are most important when evaluating the effectiveness in a CSR report are: a mission statement, organization, and visual aids. I believe a mission statement is an important attribute, because it states the company’s long-term purpose. In addition, organization is an important attribute, because it creates consistency and clarity within the report, so that it is easy to follow. Visual aids are an important attribute, because it graphically...

...Abstract Businesses today face heightened expectations around their role in society and the world, with turning a profit only one of many criteria by which performance is measured. Rising in importance is the impact a company has on its stakeholders, society, and even the planet. Integrated reporting, which encompasses elements of traditional financial reporting, sustainability reporting, and governance reporting within a single presentation, represents a growing trend that reflects these new expectations. The core concept underlying the term “integrated reporting” is providing one report that fully integrates a company’s financial and non-financial (including environmental, social, governance and intangibles) information. Integrated reporting offers the opportunity to centre business reporting on strategy and value creation, to demonstrate how the business uses capital and the extent to which they should continue to be invested in business. Integrated reporting is a journey. Organizations are unlikely to achieve perfection in the first year. In the absence of a generally accepted framework, companies that wish to move toward integrated reporting may encounter several dilemmas around relevance, scope, assurance and other issues. However, as reporting processes for the production of the supporting information are designed and improved and as the executive team begins to benefit from a more informed implementation of the governing structures’ decision, reporting will improve...

...Report analyzes the US pharmaceutical industry Report analyzes the US pharmaceutical industry Published on April 9, 2010 at 12:04 PM Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/eded8d/pharmaceutical_ind) has announced the addition of the "Pharmaceutical Industry in the United States" report to their offering. Over the past decade, pharmaceutical companies have pushed the scientific envelope, working at the cellular and molecular levels to dramatically advance the treatment of disease. Between 1995 and 2005, more than 300 new drugs, biologics, and vaccines that prevent and treat over 150 conditions were approved by the FDA. The FDA also gave the go-ahead for numerous new indications for previously approved medicines, allowing physicians to tailor treatment strategies to meet a patients individual disease status, past medication history, side effect tolerance, and preferences. The US pharmaceutical industry is a highly globalized industry, dominated by multinational companies that engage in significant business activity in many countries and whose products are distributed and marketed worldwide. The industry has undergone dramatic structural changes over the past few decades, with the rise of the biotechnology sector, substantial growth in demand driven by demographics and substitution away from other therapeutic modalities such as surgery, and increased competition from globally active generic manufacturers. The pharmaceutical industry is under mounting...
