from the perspective of progressive social outcry(cancel culture) that has become prevalent (and is expected to continue as our status quo) please identify a product or service provider that came under fire and put yourself in their shoes please discuss 1. what is the product or service? 2. what geopolitical /political event occurred to bring scrutiny to this product? 3.what elements of its supply chain were disrupted? 4. what technology of the product, and or as used against the product came into play? 5. what was the result and what did the provider do well to influence the outcome(think Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Goya Beans) or what could the provider have done differently to have improved the outcome (think United Airlines passenger restraint and removal)?

You are the CEO of a publicly traded company that has decided to build a new campus for its corporate headquarters. The facilities will come with a state-of-the-art fitness center, food court, and other amenities. In order to choose the food options, you launch a survey to all employees. One of the restaurants chosen has a reputation for being anti-LGBTQ, which a group of employees vigorously opposes. After consultation with your Board, the company decides to cancel plans to bring that restaurant to its campus. This leads to another group of employees becoming angry on religious value grounds. The dispute goes public, and now the company has a PR war on its hands. Unsurprisingly, its stock prices plummet. How should the company balance its stakeholder relationships: concede to those now arguing religious freedom and contract with the controversial restaurant, or maintain its decision to support the employees who protested over the restaurant's LGBTQ record? Is there a difference? Does the company have any social responsibility towards its stakeholders and/or society at large in this fact pattern? Why or why not?
