Performance of Organizations

Social Performance of Organizations

According to the textbook, the current world economy is increasingly becoming integrated and interdependent; as a result, the relationship between business and society is becoming more complex. Use the Internet to research Apple or another organization. Use a tablet, smartphone, laptop, desktop, or traditional video recorder to record a five to seven (5-7) minute dynamic video on the assignment requirements detailed below. Alternatively, you may submit a four to six (4-6) page paper instead of the video submission.

Please note that instead of Apple you may select another large organization but this organization must be approved by your instructor.
