Examples of impact in the following topics:
-
- Corporate social responsibility, also referred to as CSR, can be described as a business's efforts to assume responsibility for its actions and to encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, and other stakeholders.
- Ecocentric supporters believe that low-impact technology and self-reliance are more desirable than technological control over nature.
- In this way, the ecocentric approach contrasts with that of a more traditional CSR environmental sustainability, which seeks to maintain economic performance while reducing the impact of those products or making parallel investments in alternatives.
- For example, they may incorporate life-cycle assessment, a technique aimed at assessing the environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product's life, from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, and disposal or recycling.
-
- PESTEL and SCP frameworks are models for understanding different industry and market factors that impact strategic management.
- Growing awareness of the potential impacts of climate change is affecting how companies operate and the products they offer, both creating new markets and diminishing or destroying existing ones.
- This creates a linear relationship of sorts, where the structural inputs can impact the conduct and strategy of the firm, leading to better (or worse) performance.
- This structure will provide critical inputs for the broader industry, which in turn will impact the conduct of the organization through strategic integration.
-
- Technology impacts organizational design and productivity by enhancing the efficiency of communication and resource flow.
- Technology has also impacted supply chain management—the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the provision of product and service packages required by the end customers in a supply chain.
- Supply chain management now has the capacity to track, forecast, predict, and refine the outbound logistics, contributing to a wide variety of logistical advantages (such as minimizing costs from warehousing, fuel, negative environmental impacts, or packaging).
-
- Stress can impact an individual mentally and physically and so can decrease employee efficiency and job satisfaction.
- Physiological reactions to stress can have a long-term impact on physical health.
-
- Competition - Changes in the competitive landscape, such as new incumbents, mergers and acquisitions, new product offerings, and bankruptcies, can substantially impact a company's strategy and operations.
- Companies in industries that impact the environment must constantly strive to adapt to cleaner and more socially responsible operating methodologies.
- Management Change - New CEOs or other executive players can significantly impact strategy and corporate culture.
-
- Organizations that embrace CSR hold themselves accountable to others for their actions and seek to make a positive impact on the environment, their communities, and the larger society.
- Many organizations seek to have an even greater impact through CSR initiatives that integrate social values into operational and business strategies.
- Measures include amount of expenditures or investment, degree of executive engagement, impact of implementation, and CSR outcomes relative to objectives.
-
- Corporate social responsibility, also referred to as CSR, can be described as embracing responsibility for a company's actions and encouraging a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, and other stakeholders.
- Proponents of CSR argue that socially responsible practices can have a positive impact on the organization by improving employee recruitment and retention, managing environmental risks by reducing harmful accidents, and differentiating brand to achieve greater consumer loyalty.

-
- The efficacy of communication is impacted by how much noise there is in the communication channel.
-
- For example, managers who voluntarily share with environmental activists information related to the firm's ecological impact are practicing disclosure.
- Examples of decisions to increase corporate transparency include when a firm voluntarily shares information about their ecological impact with environmental activists; actively limiting the use of technical terminology, fine print, or complicated mathematical notations in the firm's correspondence with suppliers and customers; and avoiding bias, embellishment, or other distortions of known facts in the firm's communications with investors.
