The Corporate Social Responsibilities (or CRS) promise no profit for a company, but they do help companies maintain a positive reputation for the positive efforts. This module helped me understand the financial impact that a company's reputation can cause.

Whether its understanding cultures or customs. i also learned that very few companies can say they are 100% made in America because so many companies use labor outside of the country. This also shows the importance of the reputation addressed in the previous module.

I had no idea how much planning and management businesses required. For example, PESTEL analyzes circumstantial obstacles where SWOT helps look at an organization as a whole.

It's important to understand the positions so that you can differentiate between the goal of someone or understand what your assignment is asking of you.
