 XYZ power Ltd. set up a factory for manufacturing solar lanterns in a remote village as there was no reliable supply of electricity in rural areas. The revenue earned by the company was sufficient to cover the costs and the risks. The demand of lanterns was increasing day by day. So the company decided to increase production to generate higher sales. For this they decided to employ people from the nearby villages as very few job opportunities were available in that area. 

The company also decided to open schools and creches for the children of its employees.

(i) The discussed objectives of management are: 

(a) Organisational objectives:- These are the economic objectives of a business. These are related to survival, profit and growth of business. The management must strive to ensure survival of the organisation. For this, it must earn enough revenue to cover costs. The management has to ensure that it makes a profit, because profit provides a vital incentive for continued operation of an enterprise. Further, the management must exploit the growth potential of organisation to remain in the industry. 

(b) Social objectives:- These objectives involve creation of benefits for society. For example, giving employment to the disadvantaged section of society, using environmental friendly methods of production, providing amenities to community etc. As every organisation is a part of society, these obligations have to be fulfilled. 

(ii) The two values which company wants to communicate to the society are: 

(a) Care and concern for employees and society at large:- They decided to open schools and crèches for the children of its employees. They decided to give employment to the people of nearby villages as few job opportunities were available in that area. 

(b) Environmental concern:- They are promoting the use of a non-conventional source of energy, i.e. solar energy. Solar energy is easily available everywhere and does not cause pollution. The company is conserving environment by making solar lanterns.
