DATABASE RECORDS

A database is any collection of related records. An electronic database is a collection

of records stored and retrieved by computer. These database are useful because thousands

of records can be searched in only a few seconds. Searching the same number of stored on

paper would take a longer time.

In many companies, workers can get data from a database by using a computer

network. This prevents the need to have the same data stored in each dept. or workgroup.

Not all information in database needs to be available to many users via a network. A

database can also be stored on a single computer for use by a few employees or one

person.

 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Many companies are now practicing the concept of “do what’s right and dot it

properly”, because this practise will greatly benefit stakeholders and enhances the image of

the company. Companies that practice corporate social responsibility (CSR) always

consider every decision that they make and the impact of those decisions on their

employees, consumers, environmentalists, communities, shareholders, and their company’s

financial performance. These companies will strive to engage in social activities that bring

economic benefits.

Corporate social responsibility, which includes elements such us environmental

protection, social equity, and economic growth, is closely related to quality management

principles. As many companies have adopted CSR in their business activities, it has

promoted ethical business practices, subsequently increasing the confidence of customers in

those companies.
