Could someone let me know if I'm missing anything in these definitions:

Social Responsibility
Social responsibility is when organisations display a commitment to the environment, society and economy that goes over their legal obligations.


Globalisation
Globalisation is the growing trend of interdependency and trade between countries due to a number of factors, including improvements in technology which has allowed for greater communication and transportation, and the reduction in tariffs.

Assume they are two mark questions?

I think they are adequate enough. An example for each could ensure you definately get both marks.

When I provide an example, does the example have to be precisely specific and real?
Like.. do I have a name a real event that has happened for a company, or can I simulate it?

not for that sort of thing, like you could just say "For example, a company may contribute a percentage of their earnings to a charity, which is a way that the company gives back to their community, although they are not enforced to by law"

Some examples could use stipulation, as they cause be common sense e.g. Quality Control - Red Rooster use temperature testers to monitor the temperatures of their hot chips and hamburgers to ensure they are within the recommended heating bracket

Others such as a merger process for example would require an actual example otherwise it would be incorrect. e.g. Merger of SPC Ardmonda

Thanks, I've always wondered about If I was right to provide simulated examples for common sense scenarios.

After an example of World's Best Practice. my idea was that search engine companies such as Yahoo! and Alta Vista would benchmark themselves against the processes, procedures and activities of search engine Google, as it is one of the most visited websites in the world. i.e. attracts and retain customers

World's Best Practice should be defined in terms of a specific KPI - not just something as vague as processes, procedures and activities. This is one of the cases where the definition must contain certain keywords - namely, KPIs.

How about now?
'Search engine companies such as Yahoo! and Alta Vista would benchmark themselves against the level of sales, market share and net profit of search engine giant such as Google, as it is one of the most visited websites in the world. i.e. attracts and retains customers

Yeh, that's fairly good.
