Corporate responsibilities
We have seen over the years the situation where many corporations have been involved regarding not legal practices over their profit means. Corporations are a juridical person when it deals with law, but a law that in most cases is arrange by a penalty or the punishment is not enough for the treatment of their actions and it’s seen unpunished. The practices led by these corporations in most cases involved a huge number of people that are harm by the result of these grotesque activities. When addressing the fact that corporations have legal right, comes the question whether humans and corporations should have the same legal rights; human actions and corporate actions can be seen in different dimensions, the practices held by an organizations are run or permitted with the collaboration of human in a certain degree of responsibilities, this intentions and bad practice could leave to catastrophic results harming many people or even the environment or animal, it depends on the case. The negligence of the human involved are often carried by different circumstances, some of them are pressure to carried out this practices because keeping their jobs depends on it, complicity is driven by a pressure not intention, but is still complicity to a fact that would leave behind any damaged. The fact is that corporations harm in a bigger dimension, but these practices are carried out thanks in most cases by a particular interest of some individuals; corporations harm big by big choices made by individuals, so when addressing how to managed punishment between corporations and individuals the gap should exist, been more aggressive over the corporation that at the end it’s the direct cause of the damage, if the punishment its correctly sentenced, the individuals involved are being punished too in a more efficient way. Corporations should be base on a social reason that tries to do good to the people and any subject of matter involved in their practices; if the corporation is socially damaging the world, law must be enforced and hard to punish their actions and the individuals involved, at the end the life of many humans depend on this practices and corporations act as an individual causing damage to others.

Mergers & Acquisitions
Toshiba and L&T plans to form a joint venture to set up manufacturing facilities. The idea is to merge the two companies to coexist as one on the Indian market, using the benefits of each one to accomplish an expanding market in the regions of Asia, middle east and Australia.
L&T is the biggest company of engineering in India, so this is a great opportunity to unified forces for the benefit of both companies.
Merging means that two companies get together to form a new one to accomplish wider purposes, but both companies remain existing, this is the case of Toshiba and L&T that merge together to facilitate comercial activities in the region combining expertise.
In the other hand an acquisition is when a company takes over a target company, and the target company cease to exist, and the buyer company is the one remaining supplemented with the just acquired.
• If Toshiba would of bought L&T and ceased it from its name, it would be an acquisition.
• If Toshiba would of bought L&T to become its owner, but do not change its name and existence, it would be a case of both merger and acquisition; Both companies exist, they both use their expertise and facilities, but one owns the other over utilities.
