According to Kuhlman and Farrington (2010),
sustainability can be defined as the ability of the current generation to meet
its needs without in any way compromising the future generations' ability to
meet their needs. One of the limits to growth associated with environmental
entities in a manufacturing organization like Ford is the high emission levels,
which have to be contained, leading to an organization incurring some costs,
which could be used to produce more vehicles. The second growth limit is associated
with an organization lack of financial resources to acquire efficient
technology that allows to it produce products sustainably, limiting the pace of
growth of an organization (Epstein
and Buhovac, 2014).
There is a strong relationship between social
networks, ecology and business systems. The social system that is people
depends on good climate to meet their day to day needs, such as food
production. Therefore, protection of the environment is essential to allowing
the social network to survive in the long-term. On the other hand, a business
system depends on the ecological environment to remain in business, especially
as it is the source of most of the raw materials used in the production
process. When resources are depleted, then a business will end up closing down
in the long-term. An organization, such
as Ford needs to ensure that it engages in sustainable business practices,
which do not contribute to pollution of the environment as it depends on it to
remain in business in the future (Baumgartner, 2014).
I
would make use of power point presentation, whereby every point would be
supported by pictorial evidence. At the end of the presentation, I would give
the participating stakeholders questionnaires, whereby they can provide their
feedback concerning the social impacts related to the organization. I have
learned from past presentations that providing simple presentations enable the
stakeholders to understand the main issues of discussion, and thus, can be
possible using power point presentation.
