Case analysis – ELCA
Do an ELCA for the following case to determine business-specific responsibilities and recommend actions to address them.
Case: ABC is a hypothetical leading fashion label. ABC’s main strategic goals are long-term growth, increase market share, better target younger customers, and increase profit margins. One of their main products are cotton shirts. With regard to achieving its strategic goals, ABC is doing an ELCA of the cotton shirts.
Instructions:
- Do some research to identify typical issues in the product life cycle of a cotton shirt as it has traditionally been produced.
- Apply all four steps of the ELCA method. Make sure you always explain your claims/evaluations and also provide some data and references (please provide both, in-text citations and a list of references).
- Address all stages of the product life cycle (sourcing, production, distribution, use, disposal) and discuss at least one typical ethical issue of each stage.
- Provide three recommendations for ABC in Step 4 of the ELCA method. Explain how your recommendations address the ethical issues and make business sense.
- You can produce a table, as I did in my examples, but you don’t have to. If you use a table, you need still to explain your entries. (make it please, and explain all entries please).
- Word count: about 1000 -1500 words
