The word "born global," has been used to refer to firms that successfully contributed to international business through their export of products and services consistently. The objectives of the study are to assess educational initiatives program of born global firms with respect to human capital and also the relationship between social welfare and social capital. Some organization and corporate management believes that the development of the community they operate may sometimes aggravate overhead costs resulting in excess of financial liabilities for the enterprise and often does not provide basis for corporate social responsibilities in the environment of business operations.
