Question

Identify a recent incident (within last six months) and discuss illegal, unethical, and socially responsible business actions in the current news. Include a link to the news article in your discussion post. Note: If we read the Wall Street Journal or maybe Barrons Business Review we will find daily reports of corporate activities. True, the media (TV and Internet sources) also tend to perpetuate any business transaction not considered ethical or properly aligned with current leadership. Let’s keep our examples to true business reports and avoid the political side which currently dominates the media

Explanation / Answer

ONE OF THE RECENT INCIDENTS THAT TOOK PLACE WAS THE APPLE INCIDENT WHERE APPLE WAS ACCUSED OF SLOWING DOWN THIER iPhones SO THAT PEOPLE WOULD BUY THE LATEST VERSION OF IPHONE AND SO PEOPLE WOULD NOT COMPLAIN about OLD AND POOR PERFORMANCE OF BATTERIES

NOW THE COMPANY IS UNDER LAWSUITS DUE TO THIS REASON THEY HAVE GONE PUBLIC AND APOLOGIZED ON RECORD AND NOW THEY WILL CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES

AND HAVE OFFERED REMEDIES BY LAUNCHING BATTERIES FOR A CHEAPER PRICE THAN THEY USED TO BE

THERE WAS THE PART ON Apple's SIDE TO ILLEGALLY SLOWDOWN THE PHONES WITH THE NEW UPDATES AS THE NEW PHONES WERE ABOUT TO BE RELEASED AND IT WAS UNETHiCAL OF THEM TO LIE ABOUT IT FOR SUCH A LONG TIME AND MAKING THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS SUFFER THROUGH IT, THOUGH THEY WERE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE AND APOLOGIZED FOR IT AND GAVE A REMEDY FOR IT

*I CAN'T REALLY POST A LINK TO AN EXTERNAL SOURCE OF DOCUMENT AS IT WOULD RESULT IN GETTING PENALIZED*

BUT YOU CAN GOOGLE APPLE SCANDAL AND YOU CAN FIND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR

NOTE PLEASE DO RATE THE ANSWER
