I felt that this was a funny visualization of the types of managers outlined in Module 1 that poked fun at them, but still also showed the structure of the management levels at the same time

Here is a mini-documentary explaining some of Patagonia's contributions to CSR. I used this in my case study as one of my examples because their mission and goals resonated with me. It's also a good example of a company showing their CSR

This short video talks about how globalization has expanded the world's economy over the last few decades, though it also touches on the negative side of globalization, using the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war and how it has affected international economies.

This event was touched on briefly in the Module 4 reading.
