In answer to the critics on child labour and employee abuse, they launched a campaign in which they support several organizations.

...WORLD RELIGIONS – REL 212 World Religions | WEEK 1INDIGENOUS | The term indigenous is a generalized reference to the thousands of small scale societies who have distinct languages, kinship systems, mythologies, ancestral memories and homelands. These societies comprise more than 200 million people throughout the planet today. | Origin of All Things | Most indigenous peoples have creation stories where they believe the Creator or Great Father in the Sky made the earth, the animals and all humans. | Nature of God/Creator | Many believe that they have lost touch or even forgotten about a Creator that their ancestors knew, but disobeyed. They believe the dark gods of the spirit world are the ones to be afraid of or to placate. Thus they believe that the Creator God, if there is one, is distant, removed and angry with them. | View of Human Nature | Humans are often seen as lost or wandering from a true path that was lost to the ancestors long ago. Humans are seen as capable of good or bad and under the influence of curses, vows, incantations, or evil spirits. In this sense, they may be animistic. Many have a special shaman or witch doctor who is supposed to help them connect to the spirit world. | View of Good & Evil | Good and evil are seen as forces that compete for dominance in a person and in the world. Sometimes there is an ethnocentric idea that ‘our’ group is the good one and all outsiders are ‘bad’. This idea can lead to wars and conflicts. | View of...

...Case 1.1: Case on role of HR manager Chadha, N.K. (2002). Worker’s troubles in China. In Human Resource Development: Issues, Case Studies and Experiential Exercises (2nd Ed.) (pp. 12-13). New Delhi: Shri Sai Publishers After centuries of economic isolation, China, under a communist–led government began to undergo economic liberalisation in the 1980’s. This economic liberalisation led to foreign contacts which raised hopes among many for greater freedom and control of their own lives. Increased foreign investment and trade seemed to be improving China’s economic situation and also the condition of workers. For example a survey of personnel practices in China by the Wyatt Company indicated that Chinese nationals who worked in foreign owned companies or joint ventures earned low salaries but had high fringe benefits. Workers in Chinese companies, however, did not fare so well. China’s labour ministry recorded more than 8000 strikes in 1993, none of which was legal. Another major issue plaguing Chinese factories was that of safety. Gas explosions in coal mines took the lives of more than 750 workers in just the first 3 months of 1994, and there were more than a 1000 killed in similar accidents in 1993. Late in 1993, there were two fines because of poor labour practices in which 145 Chinese workers perished. In January, 1994, new regulations were passed stipulating fire prevention, ventilation and other standards for factories as well as the dormitories in which factory workers lived...

...February 24, 2016 Case #3: Dermavescent Laboratories Problems Statement In January 2006, the product manager for hand and body lotions at Dermavescent Laboratories, Inc., Phoebe Masters, was faced with deciding if a new package design for the Soft and Silky Shaving Gel was necessary. The critical question was whether a 5-½ ounce or 10 ounce aerosol container should be introduced, and whether or not she should accept additional funds for a market test. Women’s shaving increases during spring and summer, and timing was critical because those months were quickly approaching. Previously, the shave gel was only sold in a tube form because the Dermavescent Laboratories did not have the resources available to manufacture a different package. Situational Analysis The brand assistant for Soft and Silky Gel stated, “We have a unique product for the feminine woman who considers herself special”, and has been positioned as a high-quality women’s shaving gel. Placing the product away from men’s shaving products reduced price comparisons, and it was more expensive to emphasize the quality. The suggested retail price for Soft and Silky Shave Gel was $3.95 for a 5 ½ ounce, significantly more expensive than other brands in the industry, and consistent with the brand image. Aveeno Therapeutic Shaving Gel was sold at a price of $3.99 for 7-ounces, and a 7-ounce bottle of Satin Care was sold for $2.99. There are many strengths of the shaving gel product. In a survey ran by Dermavescent...
