How do you think this information could empower the leaders of that organization to better create positive social change? Which part of the SWOT do you think would be most important? Summarize your answers to these questions.
2. Define, in one's perspective, positive social change, and describe how a business can incorporate positive social change into its mission to impact society.

5. Describe the role of HR in supporting (and/or leading) positive social change within an organization, as well as the impact of those efforts on an organization's workforce, organizational culture, and surrounding community.
