Make money and do good, shared value philosphy

[Avatar4321]

You dont seem to be really grasping the philosophy.


Its opperating your business in a way which automatically askes at every move How can we improve the world WHILE making money.

Itg has NOT been how the American businesses have mostly opperated.

Some have and many have not.

The crash would have never happened if it had.


You people trash all the time businesses who think green and try to help.

Do you even remember Ben N Jerrys and the kind of things the right would say about them?

Actually, it's you who doesnt seem to be grasping reality.

This has been the attitude of people for thousands of years.

Please prove that these people are all conservatives Cali?


Do you have any idea how partisan what you said is?

I don't need to prove that charity is a principle of conservatives, TruthDon'tMatter. We already know that.

Charity is an honorable thing. Giving willingly to those who are less fortunate or to support a cause or ideal that we feel passionately about is second nature. It is the left who support forcibly taking money from people and giving it to those they deem worthy of it. That's not charity, that's theft.

You dont seem to understand the program.

Its NOT charity , its doing business in a way that helps your community and suppliers while making money.


Why is this concept so hard for you to grasp?

We've understood this concept for years TM. You are the one just learning it.

Those "evil" oil companies provide gasoline and other oil based products that I need/or want. They make money by providing society with things that make society better.

And you hate them for it.

NEW YORK — Admitting you are making money by doing some good in the world is no longer a dirty little secret, it's called "creating shared value" — the new catch phrase in corporate and philanthropic circles.

This is old news, old as dirt kinda news. Giant corps down to Mom and Pop stores have shared thier wealth. Giving charity a stewpid buzz name is lame.

More than 70 chief executives met in New York on Monday, International Corporate Philanthropy Day, for a Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy conference, where one of the key topics discussed was creating shared value.

If you have to tell someone to be charitable, it's not charity, it's guilt.

Shelly Lazarus, chairwoman of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, said that many of the business leaders agreed that being a good corporate citizen had to be at the center of a company.

I new this LONG before this story.

"The corporate world is built to respond to the environment and the environment clearly needs the corporate world to play a greater role in having impact on society," Conant said.

And the government is not.

The growing trend has been dubbed "creating shared value" by Michael Porter of the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School, who said companies need to reconnect business success with social progress.

They were never disconected.

sorry got bored reading what I already knew.

However I do suggest all you big biz haters read and learn that corps are not out to get you. Destroying the middle class as so many of you claim is bad, VERY bad for the bottom line.

you dont understand that this is NOT charity?

What I find really entertaining is that you think this is:

1. new

2. that it's an American thing.

Seriously. It's not new. Companies have been doing it for decades. And, in Britain, most major companies are linked to some charity or cause and they've been doing it for at least 20 years.

Pat ourselves on the back? For what? What have you - as an individual - done? Something worthwhile for another human being? If so, good. If not, there is no reason to 'pat yourself' on the back... but you might what to slap yourself upside the head and give yourself a good talking to.

Then why did the economy crash?

The economy crashed because the freek market has a corrective mechanism. When people focus on creating wealth through deception rather than through providing goods and services through their hard work, the market corrects itself. Everyone suffers because a few are dishonest. It's a way to fix problems.

See in the free market, if a business acts deceptively, inefficiently, or tries to coast without putting the work effort necessary in, they fail and go out of business.

Unfortunately, our government is corrupt and if businesses do that nowadays they are too big to fail and thus the corruption continues because they are bailed out.

The free market is designed to stop dishonest, corrupt, and inefficient practices.

 

[Avatar4321]

Oh and TM if you haven't figured it out. Market crashes are good things in free market system.

 

[Truthmatters]

The econoy crashed because of shitty business practices that placed instant profit over the long term market.


To pretend this is not true is denying many facts.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Then why did the economy crash?

Nothing is perfect.

 

[Truthmatters]

So this philosophy is a republican philosophy in you peoples mind?


Then why do you hate Ben and Jerrys ?

 

[Charles_Main]

Still hiding from your lies in that other thread I see.

Why are you pretending I did not?

NEW YORK — Admitting you are making money by doing some good in the world is no longer a dirty little secret, it's called "creating shared value" — the new catch phrase in corporate and philanthropic circles.

More than 70 chief executives met in New York on Monday, International Corporate Philanthropy Day, for a Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy conference, where one of the key topics discussed was creating shared value.

As the U.S. economy slowly recovers from the worst economic downturn in decades, corporate philanthropy is no longer just about writing a check for charity as executives look to use their core business to do social good.

"Once you understand the impact you can have ... then you are on mission, then it becomes spiritual, it becomes part of the DNA of the company," said Bill Green, chairman of Accenture, who spoke at the conference about maximizing profit and improving society.

This is our future? This is what businesses have been doing for thousands of years! This is what you rant and rave against all the time. These are the "evil" corporations you always talk about.

There are only two ways to make money in the world:

1) Deceive people
2) Provide them with goods and services that they need and want.

The left has demonized companies that have done number 2 for decades and suddenly now you want to pretend its a new option? As if everyone previous to this was just out to decieve people.

You are spewing republican talking points here.


I have never said all corporations are evil.


There are corporations who have done this for years.

The right has spewed hate on them for it.

WHY?????

 

[Charles_Main]

You answered a lie with another lie.

Wis had a 3 Billion dollar short fall before walker was even a candidate.


Care to tell yet another lie ?

There is only a free market, this is what many people don't understand. That correction happens in every society on the planet, the more that society fights the correction the bigger the collapse. Hence the Great Depression and today's double dip recession VS the 1920's depression where the correction was embraced.

The invisible hand is always there, all societies no matter the structure will end with a correction.

TM is pushing this outright retarded notion that if we did everything like she wants there would never be a boom/bust. TM would support a dictator as in the end that's what it would lead to, and I think that is clear. Of course the collapse/correction would be inevitable.

 

[Claudette]

Notice how she just ignores me? Because she is a blatant bold faced liar.

Yup. She is that CM.

She knows your right but she won't admitt it. She just goes on to another blathering bit of BS as though no one questioned her post.

Standard motus operandi for her.

Oh. Don't wait for an answer there CM. I can just about guarantee you ain't gonna get one.

After all Truthdon'tmatter to Truthmatters.

I gave you a Wisconson government document.

It showed no deficit.

Now stop spaming this thread.
