Be sure to save your work. Taking your printed portfolio to an employment interview could be helpful in obtaining a job.

The portfolio activity for this chapter is Identifying Corporate Social Responsibilities. Read the following about the Bugaboo Strollers Company and answer the questions that follow.

Bugaboo is the brainchild of Dutch designer Max Barenburg and his physician brother-in-law, Eduard Zanen. Together they wanted to invent a baby stroller that is functional, fashionable, appealing to both fathers and mothers, and able to function on different types of surfaces.

Their initial product was the Bugaboo Frog. Introduced in Holland in 1999 and named for its “frog-like” suspension wheels that “jump” over obstacles in its path, the Frog became the “must-have” stroller of celebrities and parents who wanted this elite stroller for their babies.

After years of customer feedback and further testing and development of the Frog, the pair realized that parents want more options and that different parents have different needs. In September of 2005, the pair introduced to the world the Bugaboo Cameleon, the Bugaboo Gecko, and the Bugaboo Bee strollers to offer customers more choices.

The management of a company such as Bugaboo must clearly keep in mind the responsibilities that it has to society as a result of its business operations. The following list shows the four categories in which companies commonly have social responsibilities because of their business operations. For each category, list the responsibilities to society that you believe Bugaboo has as a result of the products that it offers.
