1. Foxconn and Apple had been very embarrassed by worker suicides because of the negative publicity developed by them for the image of each of the brands after the suicides. The perspectives of the consumers as well as those belonging to the general public had become negative about these brands. There had been evidence about the extreme level of dissatisfaction in the psyches of the employees who had committed suicides. The reputation of Foxconn being Apple Inc.’s most important manufacturer had been put to great stake and loss. 2. Having designed and produced highly popular products such as iPhones and iPads had not been enough because of lack of Corporate Social Responsibility, empathy with employees as well as morality and ethics.
