ASSIGNMENT 1: SOCIAL OF 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 a Fortune 500 company of your choice. Use a tablet,
smartphone, laptop, desktop, or traditional video recorder to record a
maximum five to seven (5–7) minute dynamic video on the topics detailed
below. Alternatively, you may submit a four to six (4–6) page paper
instead of the video submission.

Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you
will need to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a
computer in order to upload to Blackboard. You may want to upload your
video to a file sharing service, such as Dropbox, if your email will not
let you send a large video file. Dropbox is accessible from all
smartphones and tablets from the Dropbox app.
