Strome Business Minute With Dr. Jeff Tanner

Keeping in mind this is a business minute, what has been the reaction of businesses to the deaths of three black men? Some do nothing and some issue a statement supporting the protests. But some are taking it a step further, including Target, whose stores in Minneapolis were looted. Target will provide aid to the community, pay employees whose stores closed due to looting until reopening, and more while also working on longer term solutions. GM, whose CEO will chair an inclusion board working internally and externally to advocate for inclusion. YouTube is giving one million dollars to The Center for Policing Equity, an organization that works with law enforcement to promote more equitable practices, as well as reviewing its own algorithms so that the social media site’s content is more balanced. Let’s all do more. To learn more, visit odu.edu/business. This Strome Business Minute is presented by the Strome College of Business at Old Dominion University.
