Answer:“Laws are enacted so that people can live together in a society using common facilities without any conflict, and accommodating everybody’s rights.”When turning-the-other-cheek fails, many people are at a loss in dealing with conflict. The consensus strategy (a strategy based upon agreement by the total group), employed by many organizations, leaves community leaders ill-prepared to deal with those persons or organizations who refuse to concede without a struggle.
Conflict situations appear with frequency in daily, public, and private life. These conflicts may be on a small or large scale; they may occur within and among groups, communities, or nations; and, they may be triggered by ethnic, racial, religious, or
- 2. “In setting up Narayan Murthy Committee, 2003, SEBI stated that efforts to improve corporate governance standards in India must continue.” Elaborate this statement with reference to the Narayan Murthy Committee recommendations.
Answer:The Narayana Murthy panel is for restricting the tenure of non-executive directors to three terms of three years each, running continuously.

- 3. How can Corporate Social Responsibility be integrated into every aspect of the company’s operations? Explain giving example from any company of your choice.
Answer:While most organizations willingly pay lip service to corporate social responsibility, most struggle with effective implementation.

This situation is prevalent among organizations today. There is a distinct cognitive disconnect

They require empathy and the rule of law and impose an obligation on persons to respect the human rights of others. They should not be taken away except as a result of due process based on specific

Answer:Company boards, executives, and management are investing more and more time and resources on issues of sustainability – such as carbon (greenhouse gas emissions), energy efficient technology, water use, cleantech, and biodiversity, to name just a few.
