Employment. Business enterprise should adopt the policy of equal opportunity employment. This means there are no discrimination against race, sex and religion. In some countries, women and colored people are at a disadvantage in employment. On the other hand, progressive countries recruit their employees regardless of age and sex. In fact, they do not give much importance to the diploma. What they need are competence and experience.

Education and training. Business organizations, particularly the big and successful ones, should contribute their resources to the education and training of the poor and disabled persons in the community. Such human resources are potential assets to the community and to the business organizations. A business enterprise cannot be stable if it is surrounded by poverty and other social problems. Japan is a very wise nation. It has been helping its poor neighboring countries build their roads to increase its sales of cars and motorcycles. Asia is a very big market for Japanese products.

Community development. The business organization is very much a part of a community. Thus, it is its social responsibility to help the development of the community, so that it will be a better place to live in. Community development includes health and sanitation, livelihood projects and cultural and sports development.
