S/B/115. Choose a large UK or international company. Give an analysis and the assessment of its policy of social responsibility and the applications of good business

Marx’s and Webster’s notion of corporate capitalism is clearly evident in today’s society as more emphasis is placed on the shareholders and profit. Despite all the globalisations problems we need to look beyond and consider can we achieve this notion of good business? Can companies be blamed for society’s behaviours and this demand for material products? My argument is yes and they are also making profit by allowing negative images leak into society creating this image of being perfect. Companies should want to take a more active role in society use corporate power and to reshape society with good intentions. Companies analysed are: Marie Claire magazine, Weight Watchers and Simply Be clothing company.
