Challenges in the Business Environment
Overview
Changing, or even stating, a companys values can be a long and arduous process, but it often pales in comparison to the effort it takes to make sure they are honored, implemented and projected.
In this assignment, you evaluate how well your chosen company from the first assignment (Tesla) has done in walking the talk and responding to a social issue.
Preparation
Review your chosen companys mission and values statements as well as other sources that provide insight into the companys values with regard to social responsibility. Pick two of their primary values and research how the company manifests those values. Simple examples might be the commitment to workplace diversity or ecological sustainability.
