Food for thought- towards a paradigm shift? Michael Porter/ Mark Kramer: The prevailing approaches to CSR are so disconnected to business as to obscure many of the greatest opportunities for business to benefit societies. An affirmative corporate agenda moves away from mitigating harm to reinforcing corporate strategy through social progress. Peter Drucker: “every global and social issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise” n0jf46U n0jf46U

Food for thought- towards a paradigm shift?  Sustainable value creation is the business opportunity of the 21 st century. It’s an innovation engine unlike anything we have ever seen in management—and it’s a lens which will dominate the management agenda for the next generation of thirty to fifty years. Even more important, the outcomes will define the next episode in creative capitalism and, ultimately, will determine the well ‐ being of our imperiled planet. (United Nations Global Forum)
