Lemon is a Japanese telecommunications company which recently acquired a local company, TTN, that manufactures smart phones, in an effort to integrate vertically and provide clients with a better offer. A significant part of Lemon’s clientele acquisition strategy is a focus on older individuals, and it wants to provide them with phones that better address their needs.
TTN, unlike most of its peers, owns the manufacturing plants which supply parts for its phones. 80% of TTN’s manufacturing personnel are contractors, while the industry average is 40%. Two years ago, TTN was subject to a non-governmental organisation (NGO) campaign requesting that it offered contractors working conditions and pay similar to that of employees. TTN agreed to most of the NGO’s requests.
Which of the following company-specific characteristics, describe how Lemon's risks to labour rights are impacted?
选项:
A.Its risks are lower than industry average because a lower percentage of its work force is directly employed.
B.Its risks are fully mitigated by addressing concerns raised by NGO’s.
C.Risks are reduced because older individuals have less concerns about corporate social responsibility than the younger generation.
D.Insourcing its manufacturing enables retention of greater control of its supply chain and thus, risks.
解释:
TTN拥有为其手机提供零部件的制造工厂。而不是将制造业务外包,因此TTN可以掌控其供应链的上游,大大减少了供应链上违反人权,劳工权利的问题。因此,Insourcing可以使Lemon在lahour rights问题上的风险降低。该公司接收了NGO建议,为合同工提供同样的工作条件,是保障劳工权利的举措啊。
