Question

1. u.s.-based companies, such as mars, invest billions of dollars in the countries that provide them with the raw materials, such as cacao, that they use in producing their products. in the stakeholder model of responsibility, which group benefits the most from these investments?

a customers
b investors
c international communities
d employees

Explanation:

In the stakeholder model, when U.S. companies invest in countries providing raw materials (like cacao - producing nations), the international communities (the host countries' communities) benefit from infrastructure, job creation, economic growth from these investments. Customers benefit from product availability/quality, investors from profits, employees from jobs, but the direct investment in raw - material - providing countries primarily benefits their (international) communities.

Answer:

c. International communities
