...split into two main sectors either the public or the private sector. The public sector consists of non-profitable businesses/organisations such as charities. However, the private sector consists of profitable business/organisations in various forms such as sole traders, partnerships, franchises, private limited and public limited. Types of business in the Public sector Charitable Organisation Charitable organizations are a kind of business that fit within the nonprofit category meaning all profits are re-used in order to re-invest back into the business. In general, this type of entity is sometimes referred to as a charity or foundation, which can be run publicly or privately and has unlimited liability or in other words has full responsibility for the entire amount of debt and other liabilities combined by the organisation. Depending on the location of the charity, the legal definition of what creates a charitable organization may depend on its country of origin. Therefore, the tax which also applies to a charity will also depend upon the region or country in which the charitable organization is based or operates from. Being a business/organisation there are many advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of being a charitable organisation are that there are certain tax exemptions and tax reliefs for taxpayers who make donations to charity. Also Charities can apply for grants from trusts/donors that have a policy of giving only to charities. A registered charity has more...

...affect us as an individual and society. Economic inequality does and can affect an organizations performance through employee development which will affect its individual employees and their interactions at work. I will provide an overview of the relationship between economic inequality and management. Introduction Inequalities have been on the rise and on the public’s mind since the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests which have been noted by many government agencies (i.e. Congressional Budget Office, 2011), international economic organizations (i.e. Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD], 2011) and researchers (Piketty, 2014). Inequality debates still capture headlines and continue to stir debates, for example, Oxfam’s assertion that the 85 richest people in the world hold as much wealth as the poorest half of the world, but also occupied a central stage in the discussions at the annual meeting of World Economic Forum (Oxfam, 2015). This has been researched and studied for years. The earliest article accessible through Web of Science was published in 1930 and discussed the effect of rural migration on urban–rural economic inequality (Rutledge, 1930). Since 1930, research has been done in a range of to examine the relationships between economic inequality and socioeconomics, including economic growth (Kuznets, 1955), public health (Marmot et al., 1991), socio-political instability (Alesina and Perotti, 1996), crime (Kawachi et al., 1999) and education...

Stakeholder participation helps following activities: Gives people a little idea over how projects or policies may change their lives; Is necessary for sustainability; Generates a logic of ownership if started early in the advance procedure; Gives opportunities for learning for both the project team and stakeholders themselves; and Builds ability and improves responsibility. Stakeholder analysis is also a proper time to discover whether or not gender will be an issue in the amplification and carrying out of future efforts. It is well standard that discrimination by gender is possible to reduce the impact and usefulness of projects and policies. Furthermore, the addition of women as stakeholders has the potential to get both better management of the resource base and enhanced community welfare. Gender analysis involves the assessment of the following: The distribution of tasks, activities, and rewards associated with the division of labour at a particular locality or across a...

...Business Level 3 Unit 13 – Recruitment and Selection in Business By: Khalid Jeylani P1 In this assignment I am going to identify how two organisations plan recruitment using internal and external sources. My two organisations are Samsung and Tesco Samsung Samsung is a South Korean multinational conglomerate company headquartered in Samsung Town, Seoul. It comprises numerous subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, most of them united under the Samsung brand, and are the largest South Korean chaebol (business conglomerate). Samsung was founded by Lee Byung-chul in 1938 as a trading company. Over the next three decades, the group diversified into areas including food processing, textiles, insurance, securities and retail. Samsung entered the electronics industry in the late 1960s and the construction and shipbuilding industries in the mid-1970s; these areas would drive its subsequent growth. Following Lee's death in 1987, Samsung was separated into four business groups – Samsung Group, Shinsegae Group, CJ Group and Hansol Group. Since 1990s, Samsung has increasingly globalized its activities and electronics, particularly mobile phones and semiconductors, have become its most important source of income. Notable Samsung industrial subsidiaries include Samsung Electronics (the world's largest information technology company measured by 2012 revenues, and 4th in market value), Samsung Heavy Industries (the world's 2nd-largest shipbuilder measured by 2010 revenues), and Samsung Engineering...

...The Promise and Perils of Globalization: The Case of Nike1 Richard M. Locke Alvin J. Siteman Professor of Entrepreneurship and Political Science MIT 1 This case was prepared for the Sloan School of Management’s 50th Anniversary celebration and should be read in conjunction with “A Note on Corporate Citizenship.” This case was prepared with the active involvement and research assistance of the following Sloan MBA students: Vanessa Chammah, Brian Curtis, Elizabeth Fosnight, Archana Kalegaonkar, and Adnan Qadir. I would also like to thank Miguel Alexander, Maria Eitel, Dusty Kidd, Joseph Tomasselli and Dara O’Rourke for their helpful comments and assistance during this project. 1 1. Introduction How should global corporations behave in the new international world order? What constitutes good corporate citizenship in a world where the stakeholders are diverse and dispersed around the globe and where no clear or consensual rules and standards exist? These questions shape the behavior of most multinational corporations (MNCs) today. Although multinationals are eager to pursue the opportunities of increased global integration, they are increasingly aware of the reactions which their strategies induce – both at home and abroad. Thus, they tread warily, lacking clear and agreed-upon definitions of good corporate citizenship. Through a case study of Nike, Inc. – a company that has come to symbolize both the benefits and the risks inherent in globalization – this paper examines the...

...Revised version forthcoming in the Journal of International Economic Law WTO Dispute Settlement and the Missing Developing Country Cases: Engaging the Private Sector Chad P. Bown† Brandeis University & The Brookings Institution May 2005 Abstract The poorest WTO member countries almost universally fail to engage as either complainants or interested third parties in formal dispute settlement activity related to their market access interests. This paper focuses on costs of the WTO’s extended litigation process as an explanation for the potential but “missing” developing country engagement. We provide a positive examination of the current system, and we catalogue and analyze a set of proposals encouraging the private sector to provide DSU-specific legal assistance to poor countries. We investigate the role of legal service centres, non-governmental organizations, development organizations, international trade litigators, economists, consumer organizations, and even law schools to provide poor countries with the missing services needed at critical stages of the WTO’s extended litigation process. In the absence of systemic rules reform, the publicprivate partnership model imposes a substantial cooperation burden on such groups as they organize export interests, estimate the size of improved market access payoffs, prioritize across potential cases, engage domestic governments, prepare legal briefs, assist in evidentiary discovery, and pursue the public relations effort required...
