As with ethics, managers consider social responsibility on a daily basis as they deal with real issues. Social Responsibility is a dynamic area with issues changing constantly in responce to society's desires. Nike had a young indonesian worker named Sadisah who they paid 14 cent a hour. He worked 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, and after a month he could aforrd to buy one nike shoe at retail price. Around the world, the opening of Niketown were often violent between police and protesteors. On US Universities campuses, students protested against Nikes Link with slave labour working conditions and forced their sports teams to sever lucrative sponsorship deals with the now infamous sportswear brand.
