 Views on Social Responsibility

The general view on business is that entrepreneurs are willing to

sacrifice anything in order to get their profit. In recent years,
incidents of poor quality products, imitation products, addition of
harmful material into manufactured food (e.g. addition of melamine
to milk in China), irresponsible act of throwing poisonous material
into the river, etc. are examples where corporate irresponsibility are
frequently being highlighted in the newspapers.
