GCU’s Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work states that “Our work within the world matters to God and our neighbors, and that we honor God by serving others in ways that promote human flourishing.” Select a company that demonstrates ethical behavior, social responsibility, and environmental sustainment. How does the selected organization promote human flourishing? What role does innovation and leadership play in strategic management? How does this contribute to an organization’s ability to achieve and sustain competitive advantage? Provide an example and rationale.
Sample Solution
I chose Google as the company that best demonstrates ethical behavior, social responsibility and environmental sustainability. Google has a comprehensive set of policies and initiatives to promote human flourishing through its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The organization is focused on reducing its own carbon footprint while also working with customers to reduce their emissions. For example, Google’s Project Sunroof helps homeowners calculate the benefits of installing solar panels on their roof by using machine learning technology combined with satellite imagery and weather data. This program promotes energy efficiency and cost savings while helping people reduce their reliance on fossil fuels.
