SPIC Group: Social initiatives by MAC Foundation and ACM Trust Research Project Background MBA Case Studies

Expert Suggestions on Preparation for Computer Based CAT-09

Introduction
This case study is one of ten that were chosen as part of the Enhancing Business-Community Relations project in India implemented in collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). These cases document examples of engagement between businesses and communities and can be used as learning tools for the promotion of responsible business practice and sustainable development. The Enhancing Business-Community Relations project is a joint international initiative between United Nations Volunteers (UNV) and the New Academy of Business. Implemented in seven developing countries, the purpose of the initiative was to collect and document information on business-community practices as perceived by all stakeholders, build partnerships with them and promote corporate social responsibility practices. It is also intended to enhance international understanding of business-community relations through information sharing and networking with other countries especially those participating in the project - Brazil, Ghana, India, Nigeria, Philippines, South Africa and Lebanon. The findings and recommendations reflected in the case study are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of UNV, TERI or the New Academy of Business. It is important to note that these cases were written as examples of business-community initiatives. They do not constitute a comprehensive assessment of the company's social responsibility. This case study concerns social investments undertaken by the MAC (Medical) Foundation and the A. C. Muthiah Trust under the auspices of the SPIC Group, India. Projects in healthcare and education were initially implemented in only one village this has since developed to three villages with perhaps more in the future. Each project is discussed in turn with details of the structure and implementation procedures. The SPIC Group has undertaken its social investment through charitable trusts and foundations, yet these organisations remain largely financed, and administered, through the company itself. For this reason there is discussion about the pros and cons business can bring to the public sector by investing in community projects such as these.
