I would look into notification techniques as well. For example, passing a law requiring goods that are created by foreign workers to contain a statement that they may have been created in a sweatshop environment, or some kind of statement on goods that are knowingly created in this type of environment. I think consumers have a right to know where the products they buy are created, and that more knowledge would create a backlash against the companies that use this form of exploited labor. If more Americans knew about the working conditions, perhaps they would think twice about purchasing many of the items they purchase.
I would use Internet research to find sweatshop information, including companies that support this kind of labor. One site with much information on corporations who use this type of labor is http://www.coopamerica.org/programs/sweatshops/,which I would use as a background research...
I would also do library research to find information in books and journals on the history of sweatshops and where they are most prevalent today. I would also try to research the numbers of sweatshops that still exist in the world, and how many each country has, to make a point of knowing what countries have the largest numbers and how to reduce them.
Three lessons I would apply to this study include the sweatshop information included in a previous assignment, the issues of global change and culture included in the textbook, and the practice of change in international contexts. I believe that the only way to change this labor practice is to change how Americans view it, and the products that are created by it, and that change has to begin here, and travel around the globe. These lessons help bring awareness to the issue, and offer meaningful ways to change it for the better.
To create a study for this topic, I would begin by reading about companies who use these types of exploited workers, such as Apple, (in a previous article review), and I would try to understand how the practice got started and why it still exists today. My study would include analysis of companies who use the practice, and how much money it saves them each year. It would also look at how to end the practice through regulation or cooperation with foreign governments. I would look into notification techniques as well. For example, passing a law requiring goods that are created by foreign workers to contain a statement that they may have been created in a sweatshop environment, or some kind of statement on goods that are knowingly created in this type of environment.

U.S. Automotive Industry Chosen industry: automotive industry is the focus of this analysis. More emphasizes are made on the large -- scale automobile manufacturers. This is because of the inherently interesting industry as a result it being competitive and projected to go through a major restructuring due to globalization in the near days to come. The issue of decreasing oil reserves is the other reason that is going to trigger this
U.S. Navy Leadership Change There are many operative processes regularly employed in the 21st century that are decidedly at variance with traditional ones. The increasing trend towards globalization is affecting nearly every industry, including the armed forces. As such, it is no longer advantageous to continue conducting operations and managing resources in a manner that does not reflect contemporary organizational practices specifically designed to accommodate the myriad opportunities and challenges of
The big three will likely weather the tsunami, as completely different entities than they have been in the past, possibly even more strikingly different than they were before and after the Japanese management style implementation in the 1980s. With these and other changes likely in the industry in the near future The industry will once again prove flexible and innovative in changing with the times. Works Cited Brown, Shona L., and
This is part of a month-long survey to determine whether current weight estimates are accurate. Anyone refusing to give his or her weight could be barred from the flight. Investigators are looking at excess weight and elevator malfunction as possible contributing causes of the January 8th crash of a 19 seat Beech 1900 turboprop.. Maximum take-off weight for the Beech that crashed was just over 17,000 pounds and the
For example, there are many SEC registered companies, and they are not all American companies. Many of them are actually headquartered in foreign countries. In the past they had to change their accounting and financial information over to GAAP requirements, but changes are allowing companies to continue to use IFRS instead. Some of the U.S. based companies are also going to be allowed to use IFRS in order to
" (2007. p. 46) Guay also states that a consequence of "increased international trade is a corresponding increase in demand for commodities." (2007, p. 46) Guay writes that companies that are producers for civilian and military markets "are susceptible to increased global competition on the civilian side, even as the military side of their business may be fairly protected." (2007, p. 46) These firms may be forced to restructure which
