Scrutinizing of Big Business
Concept
  • Scrutinizing of big business refers to the phenomenon that, as
    businesses expand their global reach and as economic demands
    on the environment intensify, the level of societal suspicion about big
    business is likely to increase. The tenets of current global business are
    not understood in many parts of the world.
  • Economic scandals and environmental mishaps seem as inevitable
    as the likelihood that these incidents will be subsequently blown out
    of proportion, thereby fueling resentment and creating a political and
    regulatory backlash.
Trajectory
  • This trend is not just true of the past five years but of the past 250
    years. The increasing pace and extent of global business and
    the emergence of truly giant global corporations will exacerbate
    the pressures over the next 10 years, especially when economic
    circumstances are less than favorable. Rightly or wrongly, it is the public
    perception that big business had a great deal to do with causing the
    current economic crisis.
  • Big businesses in particular have never and will never be loved.
    Businesses need to argue and demonstrate the intellectual, social, and
    economic case for business in society and the massive contributions
    business makes to social welfare.
