Just like people, I think corporations are by default good. It is the situation that they put themselves in or find themselves in that turns them "bad".

A corporation's niche has a lot to do with the situation that they may find themselves in. Company's like Apple, Google, Starbucks, and Ferrari have small specialized niches in the market. They can be dedicated to customer care whereas companies like Microsoft, Yahoo!, McDonalds, and GM, because of heavy competition are somewhat forced into making decision that detract from customer care.

Something else I think is very important to how a company may seem, is employee satisfaction, as it effects customer care greatly and that has a lot more to do with the customer and social expectations than the actual company itself.

I think corporations that are multi national are bad. It is unfair to the working people in this society to have these businesses exploiting the cheap labor and resources in another country and reselling them in our country. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be able to purchase goods and materials from businesses in other countries but a person shouldn't be able to own a business in America and one overseas.

If they are selling their goods in America as an American business they should have to follow American employment laws. Owning businesses outside of America allows corporations to circumvent American laws. It also robs the hosting countries because they can't claim ownership to the products they produce in order to sell them for competitive prices. If American corporations want to sell foreign produced goods they should have to buy them from the foreign countries/businesses and pay tariffs on the products.

The fact that big corporations do exploit cheap labor from other countries shows us how dangerous their size and multi nationality is. No longer are these corporations willing to work by the rules of our government. It is clear that they are not loyal to America and yet we are allowing them to expand out of control. We even pay them almost $150 Billion a year in corporate welfare. I just wonder if these corporations would still be in America if we ever hit a severe depression; but I guess they might if they could exploit us for cheap labor.

I believe in a free-market. But I don't believe we should allow it to be manipulated by businesses bigger than our market. If a business is operating in America it should only operate in America. They would have to consider the implications of their actions if they are dependent on our market. If a corporation is multi national they are less affected by America's economy and thus less reflective of that economy.
