Case Study
Corporate Social Responsibility Case Studies » Health Hazards Battles of IBM
Since the late 1990s, IBM had been rattled by legal suits filed by its former employees in California and New York, USA. Most of the plaintiffs sued IBM on the grounds that IBM had knowingly exposed them to harmful chemicals, which had caused severe health problems. IBM defended itself by stating that the health problems of its former employees could have been due to many other reasons as there had been no definite proof that employees in the semiconductor industry were prone to health problems only because of the chemicals used in the industry.
Pedagogical Objective
To discuss the occupational health hazards in the chip making of the semiconductor industry and how a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs would affect the entire chip manufacturing industry, which operates on similar working conditions, using the same chemicals with analogous potential dangers.

There was anecdotal evidence too of foreign investors backing out of possible investments and ventures in the Cebu metropolitan area due to the threat of an inadequate water supply to meet their production needs. The existing water districts' apathy and lack of incentive to take on the responsibility of managing the water resources induced the Philippines government to call for private sector participation. WorldWater Inc. set up a novel method of water supply and utilization on an experimental basis in the Ronda municipality, which is showing positive results.

By: drabsv | 18-06-2008
I assume that there are two types of organisations according to the relation structure-people:(1) organisations which expect employees to adapt to their rules, roles and conditions of work. If there are not enough candidates, these organisations react by either increasing salaries or by coercing people to work there through various mechansims - manipulating unemployment rate (e.g. outsourcing work to overpopulated Asia, letting immigrants in); mandatory labour service/ military service; etc. In brief: "the individual must fit into the system". An example of a policy of such organisation: "working time is set Monday till Friday, from 8 am till 5 p.m".(2) organisations which create their rules, roles and work habitats with the human in mind, from the very outset; they also maintain feedback loops to change (improve) those rules, roles and conditions for work when necessary. In brief: "the individual must fit to the system and system must fit to the individual".An example of a policy of such organisation: "the working day is 8 hours; standard working time is set Monday till Friday, from 8 am till 5 p.m but you can arrange with our managers a different schedule, convenient to you". If my assumption is correct, any examples of type (2) organisations?
