Three
journal entries are linked with corporate social responsibilities:
1. Increase
in the usage of social media.
2. Launching
of new product in the market.
3. Adopting
long term strategies.
1. Increase in the usage of social media:
In
the current era, it is the responsibility of corporate to promote their
activities and share with the people through social media. Now people are very
much interested with the news and updated belong to different corporate. People
of different age level are use different resources like TV, face book, Instagram
or different sites to get information about any entity. Even for study purpose,
normally students visit internet to get more and more information related to
any business. So, all business must share their data in general terms and their
progress or performance with people through social media.
As
annual reports must be issued at annual basis, the performance of organization
on monthly, quarterly or annual basis are present at every place. For example,
apple share their all data on their website including their financial
statements, their price fluctuation, share price and its effect on market
place. It shows how much they capture the market and also inform their all
strategies that they use within the organization to provide better products and
services to all their customers. Because when people see any legal information
then they consider social media is the best source to provide all information
in detail so the corporate social responsibility is to share all their
information with general people on different social websites.
Organizations
have to share their events also for the sake of fun and attract more people so
it will increase the customers and more users going to shift to their products
or services. Furthermore, when the any organization want to share its information,
it is the responsibility of organization to fulfill all ethical requirements
belong to the social links like must show their true picture in front of people
that enhance their trust and make their reputation in positive manner. As we
are talking about events, for example Coca cola organize coke feast event in
last few weeks before, so coca cola company has to share this information with
all general people through social media so that more and more people come and
participate in their event which enhance their credibility and more customers
are going to attract towards their product and improve the reputation of
company.
We
also can say that sharing information is very helpful tool to enhance the
development of organization and maintain for long terms because if any
organization are providing true picture of its performance then they has to
fulfill their corporate social responsibility and sustainable development
because in the current time period, only those organizations can sustain that
move with the current requirement of users and provide all the details because
now people want to know about each and every item belong to major organization,
their profitability, their working criteria, their management policies, their
link with employees and all the material that help in enhancing and maintaining
their good reputation . One of the best sources of information is Google.
organizations should put their all information on that place so everyone can
easily access their data because the awareness is going to increase and people
are now want to get each and every item belong to organizations and all the
working criteria that help in increasing their knowledge and also help in study
or business point of view . So, it’s the corporate social responsibility for
the sustainable development to share their information with general public also
(Zilles, 2018).
2. Launching of new product in the
market:
For
any organization in launching their product this become more support by using
different corporate social responsibilities strategies. Because these
strategies make more innovative to the process of organization. Any organization comes to make new product
when they are in good condition as per their performance and also financial
point of view.
The
main product of every organization must take some time to maintain their place
in the market and make their customers because when any new company come in the
market with its product, then people have no idea about that product and
company also. They were stick with their old products and didn’t want to left
that old product. Now company has to promote their product with different tools
and techniques and attract more and more customers in minimum time period. Through
advertisement in the media resources, they provide their best attributes
related to their product and offer customers to avail all new facilities
related to our product to make their life easier. Furthermore, price factor is
also very important that count the likeness of people in different income
groups and purchasing power of customers. Organizations take many years to
maintain their position with their first product in the market and among their
competitors. And after maintain their position by providing best quality
product they can capture a nice portion of market share.
But
for the any second product, organization face to all these problems as compare
to before is less. Because they already maintain their position in the market
place and people are very much aware off with the good reputation and their
product quality. So, for second product launching organizations has to face
less problems as compare to before. But still they have to inform their
customers related to all features of new product. Corporate social responsibility
becomes more supportive component in the growth and competitiveness of
organizations. With different variables like financial leverage, market
stability or size corporate social responsibility also become very important
factor in the launching of new products. The corporate social responsibility
becomes very supportive to enhance the overall positive environment of the
organization.
In
current situation, corporate social responsibility becomes the major part of
organizations and their business strategies. It includes economic, social,
ethical and environmental elements which mean it cover all aspects of business.
So, we can say that in promoting new products, the role of corporate social
responsibility is very much important and they also support business for long
term stability. Every business wants to improves its productivity and they
working on such strategies and methodologies that support more than one
production sector and it’s all management after detail study can work for more
than one product due to its effective and efficient management system.
When
the company is going to generate profit in proper ways and give more benefits
to economy then it may also receive tax reduction and become legally valid to
generate more and more revenue. Generally, CSR deal in three different
dimensions the first one is handling with the external effects with the
identifiable consequences of co responsibility. The second-dimension deal with
the organizational support and donations that handle different activates in the
same area of business. The third dimension is performance indicators and
internal effects. so Corporate social responsibility is very important part in
the different fields and promote the performance of production of all products
to help business in generating revenue of the organizations (Du, 2012).
3. Adopting long term strategies:
CSR
is very much supportive in every field of business. All the strategies must be preparing
along with the corporate social responsibility. Many corporate social
responsibilities strategies are help in making the business stronger and longer
run because many pet projects are used to check the easy and quick way to
deicide the implementation and effectiveness of the projects on the businesses.
So all activities are related to enhancing the usage of CSR strategies and for
that some rules are given like focus on the efforts of csr then observe in
depth about all the benefits and their understanding belong to such strategies
and at lat determine the accurate pattern to determine how these strategies are
become more favorable for the business. Benefits of such strategies also
measure with three directions; the first one is nature of the benefits, second
is benefit split and the third one is time frame. The strategies are committed
in the long term relationship so that their actual results can be easily
measures and engage all the work force for achieving the required targets (Tracey Keys, 2009).
Now
we are going to discuss some initiatives related with the sustainable
development goals of organization: promote the all those activities that are
used for society and local region, give focus on the financial education on
ongoing basis, try to reduce the environment burden from our business, enhance
the strategic human resources development and talent management, motivate the
initiatives related to financial crime prevention and management of customer
protection, motivate responsible financing and investment, on a group and
global basis strengthen management foundation, and in the economy and society
motivate the consideration structural change. Now the main issue is the
implementation of CSR along with the business strategies and for this here are
some tips that support this scenario: first of all arrange all the CSR with all
level of business strategies, then get support from all level of management by
sharing the basic idea with all of its employees, highlight all the
opportunities that are used in future,
build a strong and sustainable relationship with automatic success and
partnership, for innovation determine new drivers, design thinking approach and
integrate it. In short, the entire compile mapping must be used and done with
carefully that move the business strategies with the CSR and business can move
in long terms.
In
other words, every business needs proper startup and for that proper planning
and strategy development must be required because no any business can run
without planning. strategies are required at every step of business that
properly guide the management of organizations that how to work and in what
direction because in big businesses the goals are distributed among at its
senior management so all the strategies are set according to the goal of
business and they have to follow each and every step to achieve its required
goal. So, CSR are very important for every business and specially for their
strategies because CSR provide proper support and guideline related to business
and its associated elements. Organizations has to face many sort of problems
that held due to many different reasons but with proper planning and proper
guidelines, every business can handle all the issues because it’s not a piece
of cake to handle or run the business at high level with huge amount of finance
and large number of management and employees and the most important is to
maintain their customers in long terms.
When
the focus is upon CSR, indeed, there are no easy or simple answers on what
process to carry and the way to carry it out. The interactions of a company and
interdependencies with the society are much more and difficult as well. However,
it is not that difficult to realize that using CSR as a quick-fix exercise
actually runs the threat or risk of missing potential and huge opportunities
for both the society and business. Taking the approach which step-by-step and
either using or following the principles which are outlined here offers a way
to leaders to drive and determine the creation of mutual value. However, it
will need a change in the mind-set that the view of smart partnering is that
CSR is all about doing the business which is not only better but innovatively
addressing important issues which are faced by society and business. Furthermore,
smart partnering is not just a simple approach but requires long-term
commitment, work, and focus than many pet projects of standard CSR, propaganda
campaigns, and philanthropic activities. However, the rewards are considered
potentially greater for not a single side but both.
