Compare and contrast the information provided by Uber and Red bull reports.

• Are there differences between the two reports in terms of the range of issues dealt with and the depth of coverage on specific issues, risk areas (labor, environment, human rights, supplier relationships, bribery, corruption, health, animal testing, etc.)? Do you think these differences can be explained by industry differences or the national origins of the MNCs or by the location of their foreign operations?
• Emerging markets present both opportunities (generate profits, create societal value) and risks (pose challenging operating environments) for MNCs. Are there examples in the two reports you chose of the companies going beyond their legal responsibilities to creating shared value, of how they are achieving the perception of being socially responsible by the local communities in the foreign countries where they operate? Be sure to apply Porter’s framework in your analysis

We learned Michael Porter’s Five-Forces Model to evaluate competitiveness within the company’s industry. Porter’s five forces include: rivalry, new entrants, suppliers, and buyers. Harvard professor Michael Porter’s book “Competitive Strategy” propelled the concept of industry environment into the foreground of strategic thought and business planning. (Pearce & Robinson, 2000, p.84) Porter contends “The collective strength of these forces determines the ultimate profit potential in the industry, where profit potential is measured in terms of long-run return on invested capital”. (Wheelen & Hunger, 1998, p.60) The cornerstone of the book is an article from the Harvard Business Review in which Porter explains the five forces that shape competition in an industry. (Porter, 2012, Porter, 1996; The Five Competitive Forces, 1996)

  1. The five forces are:
  • Rivalry among existing competitors
  • The bargaining power of suppliers
  • Threat of new entrants to the market
  • The bargaining power of buyers
  • Threat of substitute products/services2.The pool of industries are as follows:
  • Automobile manufacturing
