Samsungs misssion staement is: To devote thier businesses talent & technology into creating superior products and services that will contribute towards a better society. Whereas Apples mission statement is based on thier products; they havent mentioned what they can give to the world or how they can help thier customers. Samsung will achieve thier goals while supporting whats around them, making the world a better place. On the other hand Apple will achieve thier goals by destroying others and focusing on being the best. Its been previously proven that Apple do not support thier employees giving the below minimum pay and working them in poor conditions. So... whos the best in your eyes

People have a variety of opinions on Apple actions in China. Apple got to a point that it was so bad that people wanted to commit suicide; this socked the wrld and people had extremely opinionated responses. Everyone is upset but look at the fact that other companies have contributed to.

I have discovered a in-depth articles on ethical behaviour. Within this article it states “pressure to meet unrealistic business objectives and deadlines.” causes ethical behaviour. I believe that this is accurate because Apple might feel that they must beat thier sales every year. So they can become the best; they then have undertaken ilegal actions to accomplish this.If this was to change It will affect Apple in a negative way becuase they would have a lot more expenses to pay out for. For example paying thier employes at least above minum wage. Changing this would contribute to ethical behaviour

Apple need to change thier ways! They need to abide by the rules. They are the biggest technology organisation and Apple has broke the previous quarterly record of $15.9 billion they achieved $18 billion profit the but yet can't pay thier employees minimum wage. Samsung (Apples top competitor) aim to be one of the most ethical businesses. How can Apple even compare themselves if they are not ethical at all; yet Samsung focus to be ethical to he best of thier ability.

So i discovered a thing called 'Tin mining' in Indonesia. These people risk thier life to supply tin to Apple so they can make thier products. To make things worse they make children dig into cliffs; if they dig to far then the cliff will collapse... It's inevitable. This is thier job! They must perceiver as much as possible to providefor themselves/family. Even if its a little they wont stop, they dont realise the cliff could fall.They need to be payed a hell of a lot more considering they are risking thier life. This is ruining the environment as the earth is being teared apart for the need of man. Other stakeholders (such as customers) could find this offensive and also be furious by the fact children are risking thier life.

Apple has major ethical concerns. One concern that came to my attention is the China sweatshop that involves/affects the sakeholders (the stakeholders in this situation are the employees). From a article I have discovered it states 'Inside Apple's Chinese 'sweatshop' factory where workers are paid just £1.12 per hour to produce iPhones and iPads for the West'. This is disgusting and extremely unethical; this has a major affect on the stakeholders (employees) lifestyle. Not being able to to go to the toilet and work straight for 16 hours is outrageous - this can cause a variety of health problems. Also it's not that they have luxurious conditions the conditions exceedpoor . Health issues that are picked up cannot be treated because they can't afford it with the pay they get. This also can affect other stakeholders in other ways, For example the local community to these factories polluting the area.

Factories covered in suicide nets to stop workers leaping to their deaths

18 people have killed themselves at the facility

Apple have opened the doors to their Chinese 'sweatshop' factories where employees are paid as little as £1.12 an hour.

Many of the staff perform monotonous tasks like wiping down screens or shaving aluminium from the edge of the Apple logo for ten tedious hours at a time.

And now the conditions inside the factory in Shenzhen - where 18 employees have killed themselves - can be seen, after ABC TV network were given exclusive access.

The broadcaster revealed that the entry-level salary of just £180 per month is so low that it would take more than two months salary to pay for the cheapest iPad.

Even if the lowest earners do the maximum available overtime of 80 hours per month, they still do not earn enough to pay tax.

Previous reports have claimed that some of the workers were doing 24 hours at a time, while others were forced to stand for their entire shifts.

While the Nightline documentary knocks down those suggestions, it does show the suicide nets covering the whole site, in place to stop over-worked and stressed employees leaping to their deaths.

Managers ordered asked for the nets to be put up two years ago after nine workers committed suicide in the space of three months.

Apple - the world's most valuable technology company - have faced claims that their contractors are forcing staff to do overtime involuntarily and employing underage workers at the factory.

It was in response to these attacks that Apple threw open their doors at the Foxconn City plant in Shenzhen, China.

Foxconn City is a unit of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Company which employs up to 1.1million people in a series of huge factory complexes in China.

Liang Juan, 26, told ABC News that management is 'strict'.

Wearing a white boiler-suit in the spotless factory, it is her job to flip over camera lenses with a tiny pair of tweezers.

Asked what she thinks about when performing the dull task, she said: 'I don't think much about other things because the management is strict and we're busy working and have no time to think about other things.'

Despite the boring jobs unemployed young Chinese workers queue up for work - and employees say that working conditions are much better than at other factories.

An estimated 3,000 people were queuing at the gates to find work on one day when ABC News were there.

Workers are charged around £11 per month to share a dormitory with seven other people and pay around 50 pence for a rice dish in the cafeteria.

Apple have also allowed independent examiners from the Washington-based Fair Labour Association in to carry out inspections.

APPLE: ROTTEN IN CHINA?

The Foxconn City complex of factories, run by Foxconn Technology Group, employ 235,000 workers and Microsoft, Dell and Hewlett Packard projects are also built on the site.

In 2009, a Foxconn employee fell or jumped from an apartment building after losing an iPhone prototype.

Over the next two years, at least 18 other Foxconn workers were linked to attempted suicides.

Despite claims to the contrary, the abuses appear to have continued.

With demand for the firm's products soaring the factory is forced to churn out products in growing numbers. Last year they sold 93million iPhones, 40million iPads, 38million iPods and 17million computers.

The ABC journalists given unrestricted access to the site and freedom to talk to anyone found that staff were paid above the minimum wage - and no-one worked there below the age of 16.

Apple said 60,000 workers have been sent on college courses for free and they have informed one million staff of their legal rights.

Chief-executive Tim Cook said that they were working hard to improve conditions for workers.

'No one in our industry is doing more' to improve the live of employees,' he said, PC Mag reported.

He added: 'We are constantly auditing facilities, going deep into the supply chain, looking for problems, finding problems, and fixing problems, and we report everything because we believe that transparency is so very important in this area.'

However, concerns about the factory remain - and ABC News suggested that managers were warned in advance of their visit.

Last month, 150 Foxconn employees threatened to leap from a three-story building after claiming of poor pay and pressurised working conditions.

Apples aims and objectives are:

1. To maximize profit
2. To be the dominant hightech brand in the whole world
3. To invent products that will be useful, handy and sleek that will appeal to consumers all over the world, with a special focus on developed countries like Canada and the US, Europe, and the populous Asian countries like China, Japan, India and South Korea. Africa is not in their sheme of things.
4. To become the world's numero uno company.

This shows us what type of business Apple are because if you compare thier aims & objectives to the co-operative you can see a major difference. The co

Isn't it weird that the public are moaning & complaining about Apple ethics yet we still support them. Ironically I feel strongly about this; yet I'm writing this blog on my iPad. Businesses use iPads to function easier due to the fact they are so portable. Even though they know about Apple and it's ethics they still purchase thier products - is this immorally wrong?

Apples mission statement is: '“Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices with iPad”. You probably didnt bother reading that and thats because  th is mission sastement is awful. I think Its so bad because they dont tell us what they want in the future (what they want to achieve). Copared to the 'Co-operative'. The co-operative mission statement clearly states what they want to achieve. This just states how amazing and boasting constantly; i think this is unprofessional. Its practically selfish.

In this blog i am going to look at the company 'Apple'. Apple specialise in technology and produce products that are highly popular. On the other hand they are extremly unethical; there have been a variety of articles implying that Apples standards are ridiculously low in . They then demonstrate this with reports of poor conditions; they even persist to unpay the employees for required overtime. On top pf this they have been accused of discriminating when hiring employees. I am disgusted by this unprofessionalism because i feel that everyone should be treted equally and should be judged by thier achievements - not what they look like! Would you want to be judged on your appearence?
