Book Synopsis Working Conditions and Factory Auditing in the Chinese Toy Industry by : Congressional-executive Commission on China
Download or read book Working Conditions and Factory Auditing in the Chinese Toy Industry written by Congressional-executive Commission on China and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast majority of toys bought and sold in the United States are made in China. In November, the labor rights NGO, China Labor Watch, issued a report alleging poor working conditions at four Chinese factories that manufacture toys for several major toy companies and retailers. According to Labor Watch's most recent report, some factory workers are temporary workers and students, who make as little as $1.23 an hour, and some work more than 100 hours of overtime a month, in blatant violation of China's overtime laws. These young people often live in crowded dorms, sometimes 18 people to a room, and they stand for long hours at work, where emergency exit doors are locked. This hearing will examine these allegations, what the toy industry is doing to audit factories in China and address reports of poor working conditions, and the effectiveness of private-sector auditing and business codes of conduct in China.

Book Synopsis Investigations on Toy Suppliers in China by :
Download or read book Investigations on Toy Suppliers in China written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is one of the world's top exporters and top recipients of foreign direct investment. The vast majority of this activity is concentrated along the country's coast, especially in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province, where a sprawling network of major cities like Shenzhen and boomtowns like Dongguan draw in millions of migrants from around the country to work in light manufacturing. Often, the region's factories are owned by or producing for foreign companies. Labor conditions in the Pearl River Delta have improved somewhat in recent years but remain devastatingly brutal -- long hours, unsafe workplaces and restricted freedom of association -- and in blatant violation of Chinese and international labor law. The case of multinational toy companies, shows that corporate codes of conduct and checklist auditing are not enough by themselves to strengthen workers' rights if corporations are unwilling to pay the real price it costs to produce according to the standards in their codes. The US toy market is worth an estimated $22.3 billion USD, and 80 percent of toys are made in China. The international community's attention has recently focused on the dangers that cheap Chinese toys pose for consumers. China Labor Watch believes that these toys' low quality is a result of multinationals' single-minded pursuit of ever lower prices and neglect of other considerations. Short-sighted policies drive corporations like Hasbro to turn a blind eye to safety -- and to ignore the labor conditions in their supplier factories, as well. Instead of concentrating on improving product safety and workers' lives, companies spend their energy creating beautiful pamphlets on social responsibility, disputing critical reports and shifting blame. In the end, they too may pay the price. Beginning at the end of 2006, China Labor Watch (CLW) has conducted research on eight toy factories in China, which make items for various brands including Bandai, Chip Jap Co., LTD, Disney, E. Box and Eager, Fox TM, Gosh International, Hasbro, Meid LTD, Russ Berrie, Sanrio, Seeds Co. LTD, SEGA, and Takara, to name a few. This report shows failures on a number of levels.

Book Synopsis The Routledge International Handbook of the Crimes of the Powerful by : Gregg Barak
Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of the Crimes of the Powerful written by Gregg Barak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world, most people are well aware of ordinary criminal harms to person and property. Often committed by the powerless and poor, these individualized crimes are catalogued in the statistics collected annually by the FBI and by similar agencies in other developed nations. In contrast, the more harmful and systemic forms of injury to person and property committed by powerful and wealthy individuals, groups, and national states are neither calculated by governmental agencies nor annually reported by the mass media. As a result, most citizens of the world are unaware of the routinized "crimes of the powerful", even though they are more likely to experience harms and injuries from these types of organized offenses than they are from the atomized offenses of the powerless. Research on the crimes of the powerful brings together several areas of criminological focus, involving organizational and institutional networks of powerful people that commit crimes against workers, marketplaces, taxpayers and political systems, as well as acts of torture, terrorism, and genocide. This international handbook offers a comprehensive, authoritative and structural synthesis of these interrelated topics of criminological concern. It also explains why the crimes of the powerful are so difficult to control. Edited by internationally acclaimed criminologist Gregg Barak, this book reflects the state of the art of scholarly research, covering all the key areas including corporate, global, environmental, and state crimes. The handbook is a perfect resource for students and researchers engaged with explaining and controlling the crimes of the powerful, domestically and internationally.
Book Synopsis Organizational Change for Corporate Sustainability by : Suzanne Benn
Download or read book Organizational Change for Corporate Sustainability written by Suzanne Benn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since this classic book was first published in 2003, sustainability has increasingly been accepted as standard business practice for leading corporations, while the science itself has revealed how human activity has become the dominant force influencing irreversible changes in the planetary systems. The fourth edition of this trailblazing book on corporate sustainability provides new insights into how organizations can transition towards a more responsible way of conducting their business. It charts new thinking on value creation, business models and organizational purpose as the basis of a broader-based transition to a sustainable society. The sustainability phase model has been substantially revised to incorporate emergent approaches in sustainable supply chain management, strategic sustainability, sustainability-oriented innovation and new business models. There is a companion website that contains a range of materials to support learning. This new edition with the authors’ unified approach to sustainable business reshapes its plan of action to bring about corporate change by drawing in new management theory and practice on strategy-making and leadership, making it core reading for students and researchers of sustainability and business, organizational change and corporate social responsibility.
Book Synopsis Global Governance and China by : Scott Kennedy
Download or read book Global Governance and China written by Scott Kennedy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers systematic analysis of China’s growing engagement in global governance institutions over the past three decades. During this period, China has gone from outsider to observer to insider. The volume is based on studies of Chinese involvement in a wide cross section of regimes, including trade, finance, intellectual property rights, foreign aid, and climate change. The contributions show that China’s participation in global governance reflects the mutually interactive processes of China’s own socialization into the global community and the simultaneous adaptation of global institutions and actors to China’s growing activism. Both China and the international system are internally complex. Hence, Chinese engagement varies across economic regimes, yielding different results in terms of Chinese compliance, its influence on regimes, and the extent of cooperation and conflict in addressing challenges in international society. The chapters reveal that China is neither purely a savior nor scofflaw of the global economic system, and while China is a defender of the status quo in some areas, it is a reformer in others, and occasionally a revisionist in still other spheres. A detailed analysis of many areas of global governance, this volume will be essential reading for students and scholars of international relations, Chinese studies and global governance.

Download or read book The Real Toy Story written by Eric Clark and published by Free Press. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American toy business is massive, world dominating, cutthroat, exciting, and increasingly willing to sacrifice our kids in its frantic rush for profit. And yet, for all its rapaciousness, the industry is in the business of delighting and fascinating our children. Toys are one of the most emotive subjects in the world. We all remember our own toys; we care desperately about those we choose for our kids, knowing these objects help shape children's lives. They are also a constantly newsworthy item: every Christmas, which toys are hot -- and the scramble by parents to grab them before the stores are empty -- is front-page and TV bulletin news. The Real Toy Story tells the tales of these toys and of the vast, world-dominating $22 billion American industry that creates them. The rewards for success are enormous: a top toy can earn billions -- H. Ty Warner shot into Forbes's World's Richest People list with his creation of Beanie Babies. The price of failure is just as huge -- the battlefield is littered with the corpses of once-successful toy companies whose multimillion-dollar gambles did not pay off. It is a world of contrasts. The Real Toy Story looks at both sides: at Slinky, Elmo, Barbie, Transformers, and their creators, but also at the dark side of an industry that leads the way in cold-blooded marketing targeted at children. Parents will want to learn about how this seemingly benign industry exploits, sometimes surreptitiously, the many new media: cable television, the internet, CD-ROMs, sometimes even invading the playgrounds to peddle their wares to unsuspecting young people. Perhaps more disturbingly, this hard-hitting book examines the vast gap between the cuddly image of toys and how almost all toys destined for America are actually produced in China under sweatshop conditions. Today the toy industry is in the midst of rapid change. Tapping into the concern millions of adults have about the toys they choose for the children in their lives, this riveting exposé is essential reading for everyone who cares about kids.
