Redefining Corporate Social Responsibility (HBR Article Collection) Review
Redefining Corporate Social Responsibility (HBR Article Collection) Overview
Many CSR (corporate social responsibility) efforts are little more than PR campaigns designed to promote corporate brands--by creating the appearance of being "good corporate citizens." Result? CSR investments that deepen public cynicism and fail to generate real social change. Equally important, they're not enabling companies to profit from their good works. CSR can solve social ills and give your company a competitive edge--if you approach it strategically. This Harvard Business Review Article Collection shows how. The key? Tackle social issues that you're best equipped to resolve and that, if eradicated, would give you the greatest competitive advantage. Take Toyota. To address public concern about auto emissions, the company used its technical prowess to develop the hybrid Prius. The car significantly reduces pollutants and has given Toyota an enviable lead over rivals in hybrid technology. The three Harvard Business Review articles in this collection are: "Strategy and Society: The Link Between Competitive Advantage and Corporate Social Responsibility" by Michael E. Porter and Mark R. Kramer, "The Competitive Advantage of Corporate Philanthropy" by Michael E. Porter and Mark R. Kramer, and "The Path to Corporate Responsibility" by Simon Zadek.
