In completing your reading for the week you learned about many elements outside the organization that may deserve attention.  Corporate Social Responsibility is gaining attention.  Sustainability efforts are growing in popularity.  “Going Green” is a fairly common term.  Emma has been tasked with giving a strategy presentation to the CM Tech board of directors proposing how elements of the environment should be built into CM Tech’s strategy.  Emma asks you to do some research to help support her presentation. She’s not sure what her options are and would like more information on what she should consider for her presentation.

Your research paper for Emma should include the following key elements: 

  • In what ways can CM Tech create value for the members of the community in which they operate?  How might some of these actions tie to CM Tech’s strategy?
  • In what ways can CM Tech create value for the nature environment in which they operate?  How might some of these actions tie to CM Tech’s strategy?
  • In what ways can CM Tech embrace sustainability efforts?  How might some of these actions tie to CM Tech’s strategy?  Be sure to fully support your assertions in all three sections with reasoning, examples, and research.

Your report should outline the key concepts in each area listed above and provide examples as appropriate.  Be sure your report is a minimum of 5 pages, includes an introduction and conclusion paragraph, title page, and references page.  The title and references pages do not count toward the total page count.
The report should be formatted in APA style and be supported by a minimum of three scholarly references.
Since CM Tech is a fictitious company, you may use great liberty in this assignment in creating or imagining the details needed in order to write your report.
