On theater one; The company focused on the philanthropy side where the organization by gets involve on employee volunteering, engagement with the community, and donations. The second theater involved improvement of operational effectiveness, and the third theater involved transforming the business model. From these three theaters I believe Macy’s is more related towards the philanthropy side, and a solution to this I believe is to appoint an executive to work towards the company objectives to enhance its CSR where Macy’s can move from theater one to eventually be part of the operational effectiveness part of these research. Lastly, by researching some of the statistics online my findings about Macy’s management and the expectations of same management are in a significant risk of uncertainties. Based on actual results of over 11 thousand reviews from employees on sites like Indeed.com and others the biggest issue was management. The success of a company in this particular case of every store relies on its managers. If employees can’t trust managers and feel the pressure of being lead by poorly leading roles it can created conflict that can result on poor customer service on a particular

The reputational risk in consumer markets has also made the companies shift their role as only profit maker for shareholder. Today’s consumers know that if they boycott the brands they use, it works. Product boycotts are associated with negative stock market reactions for the company and hence affect the image of the company both directly and indirectly. An example: Nike in the late 80s and early 90’s faced considerable negative publicity for slave wages, forced overtime and arbitrary abuse. In 1997, the company made significant changes by employing 90 people in CSR positions and did independent third party audits of its suppliers in Asia.

The constant global economic recession has hurt the current economic environment by diminishing the general public’s purchasing power, which, in turn can have a detrimental effect for Starbucks as part of the consumer goods industry. However, recent market research has shown that, despite any signs of recession, consumers are yet to diminish their coffee consumption, however, they are looking for cheaper alternatives, which means that Starbucks is still able to influence buyers by offering less costly products.
