Michael Porter’s Shared Value vs Don’t Be Evil
Posted on:: April 26th, 2011
Harvard Business Review has just posted my response to the article by Michael Porter and Mark Kramer in which they propose moving business to a strategy that includes creating Shared Value. Obviously I support the idea of businesses taking seriously their obligation to create a better, sustainable world. But I’m not as optimistic about businesses embracing that strategy solely on the grounds that Porter and Kramer propose.
It’ll make the HBR folks happier — and therefore me too — if you comment there rather than here.
