We are living at an age where the customer or the consumer has been brought at the center stage of business enterprises. This consciousness has been necessitated by the rudiments of marketing which stipulate that every product or services should be innovated with the customer in the mind. But beyond providing these goods and service there has also emerged the need to care about the welfare of the consumers in terms of their health, environment, education and general wellbeing.

The current state of Company Q’s attitude toward social responsibility is by far obsolete. The sheer fact that the company would rather throw away good product then help the community not only gives the community a clear view that they do not matter but it also shows that the company is more about their bottom line then fostering a community. Also the fact that Company Q has closed stores due to loss of revenue shows that they did not house products that section of the community caters to. A higher income section could well afford organically grown produce as well as high end cheeses where as a low income section would opt for more affordable products like boxed meals and generic brands. Company Q’s fear of employees stealing should not deter them from…

Abstract: Starting from the times of barter system to today’s modern era of plastic money, the mankind has trodden a remarkably long path.
