Group presentation

 * Critically discuss the view that globalisation now requires all businesses to consider the interests of all their stakeholders in all of their activities. **

· analyse theoretical material relating to different views of stakeholder priorities; · give company examples relating to these views; · use three countries (agreed with your tutor) to illustrate variations; · refer to named authors //during the presentation//; and · come to a conclusion, ie answer the question!

Please post any useful links or articles here: we're looking for Business/Organisations and their relationships with their non-native country.

 * Sarah** - there are some McD's links and refs on the reference page you might like to look at.

Some links from another module that might be useful:

    Based on the 31st October lecture:
 * [|www.corporatewatch.org/] - use the organisational profiles
 * [|www.corpwatch.org/] - look at issues
 * [|www.sweatshopwatch.org/] - includes quarterly newsletter
 * [|www.boycotts.org/] - you may be surprised at some of the organisations considered here
 * __ [|www.globalethics.org/newsline] __** – ** Institute of Global Ethics – Ethics Newsline


 * Make sure the news / company reports you refer to are referenced
 * Try and find a suitable academic paper referring to your company

If you can't find anything for the latter don't worry too much, someone should do - there's a lot of articles about Toyota for sure.

**Any reason why you can not make it then look in the discussion board located in the top tab and leave a comment please!**
//**Simon:** Thanks Tala. This is a full rehearsal so only death or serious mutilation will excuse you. Please see my comments on the presentation page and get something to me by Thursday afternoon that I can draw conclusions from. And please include reference data.//

Meeting 2:
Lisa, Mark, Sarah, Tala and Simon met at 09:00 on 24 October. Apologies and an update on Toyota received from Jamie.

We have settled on the three countries: UK; USA & India.

Each researcher will do two slides on stakeholder involvement by their company in the three countries. These could be good, bad or just to comment that the company doesn't do anything special (maybe that's the point with Disney, Playboy in the UK???). We changed the running order of the slides to reflect this (see the presentation page). Don't forget the references!

Lisa, Mark, Sarah, Tala and Jamie are to prepare first drafts of their two slides by Thursday afternoon, 30th October. Simon will prepare the 'top and tail' slides so that the group can discuss the rough layout, consider the conclusions/summary and suggest changes next Friday at 11:00 (apologies from Simon, who has a lecture).

The plan is to prepare a more complete version for the first (timing) rehearsal in the 7th November 10:00 seminar slot - **Tala.. can you book something again ? - ideally with a PC/smart board/projector???** Otherwise it's my tiny laptop screen :-(

Lisa, Mark, Jamie, Tala and Simon met at 10:00 on 17 October. Apologies received from Sarah, who will be with us next week. We came up with a draft slide order and decided on UK, USA and Pakistan / India /Thailand (we'll pick one) as probable countries. We picked a few companies to see if we can identify any stakeholder related activity in those countries so it all ties up neatly. The companies to be studied and their researchers are:
 * Meeting 1:**

Toyota - Jamie Playboy - Lisa Disney - Mark McDonald's - Simon / Sarah Tesco - Tala

All to report back next Friday (24 October) at 09:00 in Group room 3 again (Tala to confirm). we'll then finalise countries / companies and decide who does which slides.
