Do you believe that lawsuits filed by consumers activists will help solve the problem of unsafe flooring

During this module, you are required to read Business and Society, Chapters 13, 14, 15, and 16.

Chapter 13: Stockholders, both individual and institutional, are the legal owners of business corporations. The job of corporate boards has become more difficult and challenging, as directors seek to balance the interests of shareholders, managers and other stakeholders. As a result of corporate scandals, reforms have been proposed to make boards more responsive to shareholders and more independent of management.

Chapter 14: Consumer protection laws and regulatory agencies attempt to assure that consumers are treated fairly, receive adequate data, are protected against potential hazards, have free choices in the market and have legal recourse when problems develop.

Chapter 15: The relationship between employees and employers is an important factor that affects business operations. Consider, for example, the issue of “whistle blowing” as depicted in The Insider (1999) starring Russell Crowe, Al Pacino, and Christopher Plummer. This fact-based story was featured on 60 Minutes about a scientist who was fired from a tobacco company for revealing the truth about the raw facts of the industry. The greater good was served but not until many people were destroyed.

Chapter 16: The management of a more varied workforce has become an ongoing challenge to corporations. Women and minorities have made great strides in all occupations, but they continue to be underrepresented in many management roles, especially at top levels. They also continue to face large pay gaps.
