1CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYAnswer 1:Apple’s supply chain management has provided the company with flexibility formeeting the fluctuating demand, as ninety percent parts of Apple’s iphone were beingmanufactured overseas. Offshore outsourcing however, helped in reducing operation costs ofApple, but it decreased the company’s control as well as monitoring over the manufacturingpractices and processes. Due to the absence of monitoring, the work procedures of suppliersand employees were very difficult to look after. It also hampered the corporate socialresponsibilities of the company. With different stakeholders and expectations, it becamedifficult to manage the consumers’ demands and satisfaction. It also became hard to managethe buyer and supplier relationship which hampered the company’s progress. Moreover,challenges arose when differences in the organization’s procedures, questioned its objectives(Fontaine, 2013).Answer 2:Apple was responsible for violating human rights. Foxconn was one of the oldest andbiggest suppliers of Apple, which came into limelight when a worker committed suicide dueto some issues related to the company. Later that incident, more eighteen workers attemptedto commit suicide and fourteen died. Poor working conditions and ill labor practices were themain reasons for this. After the Foxconn incident, another supplier of the company, Pegatronalso faced crisis when they used juvenile workforce. Moreover, women rights were violatedwhich was assisted by excessive hours of working, poor working conditions andenvironmental pollution (Josephs, 2012).
