Question 2
Imagine you are the owner of a new business in your city. You expect to operate your business using the highest standards of social responsibility. Elaborate about and justify the ways you plan to fulfill this social responsibility.
First it would have to be a business that will appeal or interest most people. Beacause we all know you can not please everyone. Another way social responsibility can be shown is sponsoring a community sports team. When the community sees my charity they will feel as though I care. Plus it can be good publicity for the new business. But I do not want to be a total push over either. Remember this is a new business so I can not promise too much. Also I promise to provide a friendly and clean environment by recycling and maintaining a trash free facility in and out.
Two years after you begin your business, a reporter discovers that your business has not lived up to the promises you made initially to demstrate concern fore the environment. Explain how you would use community relations to minimize the damage to your reputation.
I can minimize the damage by doing a community cleanup project each weekend rain or shine to show my dedication to the cause. Remind the community that even though promises were made and not fully fulfilled this is still a community and that we all share in maintaining its' beauty.

Technology-Based Companies" Please respond to the following:

• From the first e-Activity, develop at least two predictions about the future of the company that you researched based on its technological requirements and technological trends in the U.S.
Question 4
Facebook definitely is a technology driven company. New computers and phones come with the Facebook app already installed into their software. This allows for almost immediate access for users when they purchase their new tech products. Facebook also invests heavily in promising tech companies.
My two predictions about the future of Google is that they will continue to prosper and will expand its reach inadvancements in new technology. Google has been developing health care products to get into the health trends happening in America today. Some of these products include a cancer detecting pill and a glucose detecting contact lenses. Google has the money, ambition, and institution to create these groundbreaking products. By developing these products Google will continue to drive the value of its brand sky high and cement itself as a leader in cutting edge medical breakthroughs and major technological advancements.
