Corporations and Goverment: how do they choose an artist to decorate their buildings?
Q. For all those corporate buildings of the big corporations and goverment, which are the guidelines to become their artist? Corporations: Coca-Cola, Colgate, Procter & Gamble, all Ministries. How can the artist become favorite of the corporations and goverment?
Asked by Gabrio - Mon Mar 17 16:55:47 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Governments adopt Committees and a panel selection process. THey may pay little to hire them; in fact teh artist simply gets teh publicity. Private companies simply use artists who are famous, and have already made an impact /staement by their works. They may pay large sums to hire them.

When corporations hire workers, are they performing an act of charity or doing the worker a favor?
Q. I keep reading this assumption here on YA. If a corporation hires someone, it's because the corporation's owners or management believe that the person will return more value to the corporation than the cost of the person's wages. That's the ONLY reason any corporation would hire someone, isn't it? They don't do it out of pity, or charity, or kindness. So why do so many people believe that workers should be "grateful" when corporations hire them? It's a business decision--nothing but a contractual relationship resulting from the arm's length negotiation between employer and employee. What else could it be?

A. In either case that is precisely what they would have you think. If I may add, that is what they would try and convince the government of so that they could be taxed as a charity or non-profit.

Do you believe that corporations (management) has a higher obligation to investors or laborers?
Q. I think that both are equally important, because laborers produce the materials needed and perform tasks for the corporation that would otherwise not flourish. Then again, workers can always be put off if they aren't needed. Also, investors provide money for corporations to expand etc by buying stocks, but if the corporation doesn't do well, it's their fault for investing because they took that risk.

A. Who pays my salary? What do they want from me? That becomes my obligation. If I feel that they are demanding things from me that are inappropriate or incompatible with their statement of my job tasks, I will assert that opinion. If they expect me to perform in a way that is incompatible with my personal philosophy, which includes respect for the workers, I will disobey and seek employment elsewhere. There has to be a balance, and one can take the position and easily defend it that keeping the workers content is beneficial to the bottom line. Ultimately, however, I am selling my services and the person(s) purchasing those services have a right to expect a certain level of cooperation with their stated goals, if I accept to perform for… [cont.]

How do you find charter numbers for ohio corporations?
Q. I need a charter number (which I do not know where to locate) for my corporation. Is there a web site in Ohio which lists corporations and their numbers?
Asked by Steve B - Thu May 24 10:12:46 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You have to go to the Ohio Secretary of State Website. Then under business and services (right under Jennifer Brunner's picture) you'll click business and corporations. then you go to the database and search the filings. They'll have you type in the name of your business (i'd suggest doing a fuzzy search) and then all the businesses will pop up. your charter number will be there. you can also look at your filing paperwork and certificates. And the issue and expiration date of your charter. If you need a charter number because you dont have one, you can get it at the same site. Hope this helps!

A. The best resources are: www.coopamerica.org www.greenbiz.com www.responsibleshopper.or g Sorry J, but Sears and Kmart have PLENTY of evil under their belts as well. Anyway, if you look for the "fair trade certified" label, that is your BEST indicator of products made under the strictest and highest of ethical standards. The easiest things to find are drinks, namely coffee and tea. I find Equal Exchange to be great pioneers of this endeavor. And their stuff is delicious. There are lots of clothing lines that are coming to the fore as well; their stuff is top quality. Gaiam is another all-around useful tool for everyday, household items. I hope I helped!

How do you think the forefathers would have handled giant corporations?
Q. The Constitution protects us from tyranny from monarchs and churches, but not the tyranny of corporations. Since, at the time, corporations were not as influential. Given the vast change in global power, shouldn't the reigns be drawn in on these powerhouses?

Gore's book offers this: in the ice-recorded history of 650,000 years there have been lots of mini-ice ages and mini-hot times.

Asked by brian charles - Sun Sep 10 06:37:49 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Corporations are formed by individuals who seek to sell a service or product for profit. A corporation is an entity legally created to attract capital. Yahoo is a corporation. Our standard and quality of living, health, our life span itself has benefited from such organizations. Consumers "stand up" against bad companies when they buy their product or service elsewhere, thus reducing the profit and sales of the irresponsible ones. Bad behavior usually causes management to change, to be changed or the business to close. If you believe a company is acting improperly, then tell the public what you know and they will vote with their wallet.

Asked by racquel - Thu Dec 27 10:06:36 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is the responsibility of both. The government, because it is the government, and that's what it's there for. In the case of the MNCs, they have a responsibility towards human rights similar to their responsibilities/obligati ons towards the environment, ethical business practices, etc. The minimum they should do is as required by local law, the maximum is the world-wide policy of the corporation to the specific issue. It actually makes sound commercial sense, because respected companies attract devoted employees and loyal customers. E.g., here in India (some) MNCs have set very high standards for themselves, which has forced local players to respond to this very unusual form of competition, or risk losing their super star employees.

Will the people of the United States eventually revolt against the Corporations inciting poverty?
Q. There has been much discussion about Fascim and the increasing power of the corporation. Many have said that in order to be rich, there must be a class of poor. I strongly believe that corporations need to keep individuals and certain societies in poverty thus ensuring them with a steady flow of cheap labor and high profits. There can not be the rich without their being the poor and as such we are seeing proof of this more and more in the United States as big corporations essentially steam-roll the goodness of society and public opinion. Will we revolt?

How will raising taxes on large corporations not affect small businesses making less than 250K a year?
Q. Where do small businesses get their goods and supplies? From larger corporations. What will happen to the prices of these goods and supplies when the corporate tax rate is raised? They will go up, directly affecting the small business owner. How will the small business owner adjust to paying higher prices? They will raise their prices becoming less competitive and lose customers, cut their employee base or close (lose) their businesses. In a bad economy, why would you want to do something that will directly affect the small businesses that employ 60 to 80 million people? What do you not understand?

A. Where do small businesses get their profit? From middle class citizens that can afford to spend money in their businesses. If the middle class is struggling, they will put off shopping, home remodeling and purchasing goods and services from these small businesses. When the middle class gets a tax break, they shop. More money in the hands of the middle class= more money spent in small businesses. More money in the hand of the wealthy= a bigger bank account.
