Grand National Apparel, Inc.
An 8 page paper discussing social responsibility; the
company's involvement in political and bureaucratic activities; its ethical behavior; and steps
it can take to prepare for the future. One of the 50 best-managed private companies in
Canada, Grand National is an apparel manufacturer concerned about its future after WTO
rules eliminate trade quotas in 2005. The president is active with trade associations, local
politics and efforts to seek out and end sweatshop practices in Canada. The paper
recommends that Grand National focus on marketing the quality it has been producing for a
generation, and seek to identify other approaches to business so that it can begin to retrain
employees prior to 2005, when it is expected that US and Canadian markets will be flooded
with Asian imported goods. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
