I have kept question for a long time, about CSR. Or, Corporate Social Responsibility.
When we talked about CSR, its answer is always, environmental issue, as green, CO2 emmission etc. I feel something weird sense for a long time.
When we mention about CSR, first of all, why should companies do such activity.
The most plausible answer is that Company consume social resource, especially, human power, that is cultivated by society. Therefore companies should pay back to the society.
However, why does Taiwanese companies plant trees?
Think about, someone give you snake for reward of which you helped him, because snake is his favorate creature, you obviously(perhaps) don't appreciate this present. Why? because, you don't demand snake.
Present must be of what accepter demands.
Social resposibility is same. Think about Taiwanese society, does they really demand solving environmental issue, as Co2 emission?
Social demand is social member's total opinion. I see Taiwanese society, especially, Green.
Its life is far from Green, riding motor cycle, free parking, driving car.
they know, it is harmful, but for them more important thing is seemingly improving their consuming life freely, they need freedom, and money!! For that they need more salary, they need more stock.
Therefore, Taiwanese companies' social responsibility is absolutely not environmental issue, but money, that is more plenty compensation, job stability. Those are thier priori responsibility.
I think too much scholars have wrong idea about CSR. It aim is not make companies look beautiful, but fulfilling society's demand.

The comment for the management history class of 1201
From Today, December starts.
December is for Japanese important month,
we Japanese are very busy to do, and should review whole year.
And it is exciting month as well for us, because we have Christmas, and year-end count down.
Anyway, our semester ignore our Japanese custom, I should abandon to enjoy it.
Today, we mentioned about Service productivity.
At first we debated about "Value". In the Socialist society, value is proportionate to working hours of which produce the goods or service. But Capitalism, we live can't apply it.
Our value is only represented by price of which Customer accepted.
Manufacturing goods can easy to cross the border but service especially of whichone to one can't. Therefore thier value differ in one country and another.
And productivity is dependent on amount of added value, so service "Productivity" is depended on price of which accepted by customers as well as the efficiency of the producing.
In terms of service, we agreed, it is hard to increase its efficiency, that means it is hard to increase its productivity as well.
But there is a way you can increase its added value.
Today, I "dare" not teach you. I already have given all hints, you try to find it.
By the way, Japan and Taiwan has been grawn by manufacturing, and exporting them.
Now we faced new phase that we abandon manufacturing and enter into the service economy with brave. But Service productivity's problem disturb us. How do we resolve it??

Today we talked about "the shouldn't" in the classroom.
As newspaper, we know now Taiwanese Students attitudes in classroom
faced controversy. Actually, I have considered it is one kind of culture gap, so it is not a task I should tackle. I know Taiwanese students are very gentle, therefore they do such impolite, it does not mean they irrespect us teachers, but barely they ignore its impoliteness.
Last Tuesday I participated in some teacher education seminar. Some lecture, coming from Chung-li give us meaningful presentaion. Yet the women sat in my back chat continuously, it distrubed me lots and annoyed me. I wondered who they are, I glanced them, to my surprise, they are professors of our Yuan. It makes me dissapointed and feeling so shameful.
It could be habit in Taiwan, But I think, it is bad habit, it interrupt other's right, should be correct.

Today we accidentally enjoyed debating.
Especially, I've impressed the debate " Is Earning money Virtue?"
After Adam Smith, it is praised that we persue our desire.
Particularly, we Asian person are free from Religious restriction,
We tend to persue money or other things greedy.
But we have also be taught by "ru-jiao" we shouldn't be greedy.
Economics and management is not subjects to make money,
but to study our society and organization, it is my creed.
However though, such problem doesn't have one right answer.
It depends each people's value point.
But I still disagree with that university is a place to teach earning money...
Because of my education in Japan, I can't abandon the idea to earn money, and to become rich is something that can't be respectable, it is rather shameful things.
Yet, if you can insist with proof, it is your right answer!!
Today I see you interest your opinions, I am encouraged, you are so hopeful students.
I expect your middle exam.

The comment for the Japanese class 11/5
Yesterday we'd mentioned about "しょうしこうれいか 少子高齢化"or Aging.
As my home town, Miyakonojo is progressing "しょうしこうれいか"
As the picture which has so much eldery persons waiting bus,
in the central of the city of Miyakonojo. In the picture, we can't find any young people.
It is also progressing "かそか 過疎化" or under population.
In Miyakonojo, there is no University, no jobs for young person, almost of young person
had gone away from this town.
It is so shocked for me. In the past, there are lots of people to buy something.
I had aspired that place, in the past.
Yet, Now, nothing.
Toy stores had been shutterd, because there few children near there.
Only a erdery persons wait a bus for hospital, where thier communicating space...

Yesterday we mentioned about franchise.
Inthe automobile industory, franchised stores are called
Dealers. Dealers sell new cars and buy used cars and sell used car.
Market is limited, or people who can buy new cars are limited.
Therefore, for nourishing our economy, rich men buy new car, one after another.
In the process, dealers should buy there used cars and sell them to other relative poor person.
Both of selling new cars, and used cars, dealers can get profit, but generally, used car sale is
better than new car sales. Therefore, by the principle of the economics, dealers want to sell
used cars rather than new cars.
But franchise could restrict them to do such betraying.
If the makers admit the dealer is not adequate for franchise,
they can cancell its franchise. After cancellation, the dealer is not GM,
but just a store, which sell and buy used cars.
As a result, the profit of the store would be harmed heavily. Because, franchise sometime
represents "Reliance" of the store.
Maker gives dealer "Reliance" dearer gives maker "Service" to sell new cars.
Like this the conflict between two is harmonized.
Good example is Covenience stores.
large proportion of the 7-11 are franchises.
Thier owners are not employees of 7-11.
They pay "Royalty" to use the sigh of 7-11.
7-11 HQ provides them 7-11 quality and reliance.
If the service is not good, HQ can cancell its franchise,
because it would suffer 7-11 quality.
