Building Up Competitive

Corporate Sustainability

Strategies

Profit driven strategies oriented to maximizing

shareholder returns have ruled the corporate

scene for a substantial period of time but their

relevance has become otiose in the modern

times. Undoubtedly, these strategies had helped

build up responsive and financially efficient

organizations targetted to valuing and rewarding

professionalism. The prime focus on profits

envisaged in the traditional model of business

has however, played havoc with natural

resources. In fact the pursuit of shareholder

value alone can no more be regarded

sustainable for its failure to address the highly

significant social and environmental issues.

Focus merely on economic or financial growth is

insufficient. Time has come where the state,

corporations and communities need to work in

tandem to ensure that the development process

is geared to attaining economic growth in

harmony with environmental sustainability and

social cohesion. The interlinked modern world of

today is striving towards a triple bottom line

model incorporating corporate sustainability,

corporate social responsibility, and corporate

governance. The primary goal of corporate

sustainability is to balance the economic,

environmental and social imperatives aimed at

integrating the concerns and expectations of

various stakeholders instead of the shareholders

alone. The emphasis on CSR, on the other

hand, is meant to develop ethical corporate

enterprises functioning towards becoming good

corporate citizens. Corporate governance

requires the corporate boards to govern their

respective organizations in the larger interest of

all the concerned stakeholders.

CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY

It needs to be noted that sustainability is not only a

significant concept but a part of the new world vision

based on global partnership for achieving

sustainable development. It involves looking at

various development alternatives from a holistic

perspective whereby organizations of all kinds

commit themselves to designing sound, all- inclusive

and astute strategies. Brundtland Report (1987)

entitled 'Our Common Future' regards sustainability

as the kind of development which meets the needs of

present generation without compromising the ability

of future generations to meet their needs.

Sustainability has brought about a new economic

paradigm shift exhorting corporations to rethink their

current business models. It is an outcome of

confluence of new wave of globalization and the

imperative need for sustainability. Globalization of

21 century is more about interconnections and inter-

dependencies. Sustainability, on the other hand, lays

more emphasis on environmental protection. The

thrust of corporate sustainability is to create long

term shareholder value by embracing opportunities

and managing risks deriving from economic,

environmental, and social factors. It makes

corporations to harness their market potential by

providing sustainable products and services coupled

with reduction in costs. All these efforts will lead to

the emergence of corporations characterized by

internalization of ideology of sustainability. Each

such organization will be committed to ecological

viability of planet while contributing its mite to

attaining equitable social practices. So far very few

corporations have reached the stage of becoming

truly sustainable corporations. To become a

sustainable corporation, the mindset needs to

change. Many a time, companies may not be even

aware whether they are sustainable or not. For

instance, by using forensics, Greenpace discoverd

that the material used by Mattel for packing Barbie

and Ken dolls came from Asia Pulp and Paper which

was the biggest destroyer of Indonesian rain forests.

The case is a pointer to the need for companies to

ensure that their business operations are not harmful

to environmental and societal interests. In fact, the

embedding of sustainability in every aspect of

corporate strategy is integral to creation of business

value. It is particularly essential in the wake of

enhanced public awareness about the effect of

various industrial processes and products on

st

mitigate the negative impacts of their operations on

environment and society. Presently, the economic

contribution of sustainable corporate strategies is

somewhat elusive since it fructifies only in the long

run. Nonetheless, sustainability is gradually shaping

corporate culture and strategic choices. For making

sustainability a reality, the management executives

need to be sensitized and familiarized with the

urgency of the matter. Training, education and

experimentation will equip the executives with

requisite skills and attitudes enabling them to

contribute to building sustainable corporations, not

as a mere add on but as an asset.

Corporate accountability contributes to corporate

sustainability by inducing organizations to consider

non-financial aspects of corporate performance by

elucidating their relationship with various

constituencies in the society. The trend towards

enhanced transparency will be reinforced if

stakeholders support and reward organizations

conducting their operations in a sustainable manner.

Sustainability in fact merges with the organizational

vision of strategizing business operations from the

sustainability perspective.

Corporate strategies, regardless of how elegantly

conceived, howsoever comprehensive in their scope

and howsoever holistically planned or forward

looking will fail in their objectives until they are well

communicated, understood and acted upon by a

variety of stakeholders. The modern approach to

Corporate Sustainability Reporting is built on well

Identity

environment and society. This kind of thinking was

not prevalent in the earlier era of free enterprise. A

sustainable company may appear to take losses in

the short term but in the long term it will benefit

from higher employee satisfaction and retention,

better productivity and enhanced customer faith

due to improved public perception about the

company. Sustainability protects albeit increases

returns on shareholders' investments through

reduction in waste, savings in energy

consumption, and development of green

products. Harvard Business Review in its write up

'Why Sustainability is now the key driver of

Innovation' has highlighted the following business

practices adopted by international companies

devoted to sustainability:

Viewing compliances as opportunities to

develop internal abilities and industry

standards,

Making the value chain sustainable by using

less energy and water, discovering

sustainable sources of raw material and

components, and addressing waste,

Designing sustainable products and services

such as through biomimicry,

Developing new models of sustainable

practices like new delivery methods or new

technologies,

Looking beyond current core competencies

with eye on sustainability such as creating

new business platforms to manage energy in

radically improved ways

The interdependence between environmental,

economic and social systems will require

organizations to think and act proactively to

founded recognition of the need for corporate

communication. It helps in the management of

corporate identity by providing information to

stakeholders about the values and purposes of the

organization and the way it works to realize its

goals. A strong and favourable identity projection

contributes to market standing, adds value to

offerings, offers competitive advantage, ensures

employee retention and leads to higher financial

margins. The issue of corporate identity is pivotal in

the network of constructs relating to corporate

marketing and particularly brand building.

Therefore, the triple bottom line of sustainability,

social responsibility and corporate governance

can be attained by means of corporate

accountability and corporate communication so as

to improve reputation and brand image.

The AMP 2014 aims at creating an enabling

environment for reflective observation, abstract

conceptualization and application of recent

developments in management at the picturesque

and serene environs of the MDI campus. The four-

week, fully residential Programme will allow the

participants to disengage themselves from the day-

to-day pulls and pressures, relocate on the campus

and bask in the ambience of thinking, reflecting,

learning and applying. Keeping in view the diverse

set of responsibilities at the senior management

level, the learning will be inter- disciplinary in

nature. AMP 2014 will be covering diverse areas of

management thoughts and applications such as

human resource management (innovative hiring

strategies, talent management, employee

engagement, employee excitement and

exuberance), finance (topics of contemporary

importance like mergers and acquisitions, financial

restructuring, financial risk management etc.),

information technology (strategic role of information

technologies and enterprise systems), marketing

(customer and consumer attraction and retention),

operations management (optimizing costs and

quality) and of course, strategic foresight for

competing and excelling globally. The participants of

this Programme would learn to integrate corporate

strategy and culture with organizational structure.

They will learn how to manage the interface

between strategy, the marketplace and technology

and regulatory framework.

The participants will be exposed to current

analytical tools for assessing opportunities and

risks in strategic planning and decision-making.

In other words, the participants will have

exposure to areas which are not necessarily

connected to the day-to-day working in

organizations, but will broaden the horizons of

analysis and scenario building that are so

essential in strategic management decision-

making. Industry/ organisation visits will be

organized to expose the participants to the

culture and the ambience of well-managed

organizations in order to widen their perspectives

and familiarity with various sectors of industry.

The participants would also have the privilege of

having inputs from diverse sources on a

particular domain which would encourage them

to reflect, debate, sythesise and analyse different

points of view which may sometimes appear to be

prima facie, contradictory and diverse. Each

participant, therefore, would be able to chart out

his own plan and strategies once he/she returns

to his/her organization. In the AMP at MDI, all

these inputs come from a combination of eminent

Development of creative and lateralthinking

academics, policy makers from the Govt.,

industry leaders and other thought leaders. The

objective is to enable participants to get sound

foundation of theoretical inputs and research

advancements in management on the one

hand and diverse views on the practical

aspects of organizational management from

industry practitioners on the other. These

varied inputs will enable a participant to

benchmark his/her own organizational

practices with those of others and thus set the

stage for effective environmental change in

their respective organizations. Throughout the

Programme, the participants would be

engaged in several group exercises with

participants from other organizations, so as the

expose group members to diverse viewpoints.

This will help the participants in diagnosing their

own strengths and weaknesses and thus chart

out the future course of action. The primary

purpose of the AMP is to spark debates and

discussions among the participants of the

Programme. After all, in the case of the leaders

of industry or those who are on the threshold of

being so, most of the learning and consequent

decision is through an intensive process of

debate and discussion.

Key Takeaways from AMP 2014

l

l

Today's globalised business environment makes it

imperative to take a closer look at developments

across the world. One of the key components of

MDI's AMP is the global interaction that

participants would have with both academia and

industry. As a consequence participants of the

AMP will spend two weeks at the MDI campus in

Gurgaon and two weeks in the Overseas Learning

Programme of the AMP, interacting with some of

the leading Business Schools in Europe. All in all,

the four weeks spent in the AMP will give

participants time to absorb new inputs, think and

reflect. In the process, they will take stock of past

achievements; assess themselves with respect to

the changing business environment, and set new

goals and action plans to prepare for the world of

tomorrow.

Based on the diverse experiences that a

participant goes through, MDI's AMP 2014 is

expected to help the participants to:

Understand and develop a perspective

towards a sustainable global business

practices.

Develop a strategic understanding of the

issues involved in managing a globally

competitive oganisation.

areas that will be impacted by the changing

and turbulent environment.

Develop creative and lateral thinking abilities

f o r b u i l d i n g g l o b a l l y c o m p e t i t i v e

organisations.

Appreciate current-day tools and techniques,

both in analytical and behavioral areas that

help in managing in an uncertain, challenging

environment.

Learn how diverse organisations have

successfully prepared for tomorrow.

Develop a critical understanding of culture and

management practices in the western world-

with implications for Indian organizations

Above all, step away from high/pressure, day-

to-day operations, engage in critical thinking,

re- energize the mind, and thereby think,

reflect, learn, and apply.

Issues faced at the Senior Management levels are

typically highly inter-disciplinary in nature. This will

become even more pronounced in the world of

tomorrow. Consequently, MDI's Advanced

Management Programme has been designed to

cover a diverse range of topics of relevance.

Participants will be encouraged to integrate the

learning from these different areas, and apply it to

determine strategies for their own organisations,

as well as to create action plans based on these

strategies. Some of the topics that are expected to

be covered in the four weekAMP are as follows:

Strategies for internationalization

Global competition and global strategy

Decision making in an uncertain environment

Business risk analysis

Challenges in cost optimization - a top

management perspective

The changing global economy

Maximization of shareholders' wealth

Phase of theAMP, which the participants will spend

at the MDI campus in Gurgaon, is over two weeks

and covers issues of bu i ld ing g loba l

competitiveness and its impact on Business

Strategy as a whole. The focus will be on

anticipating change, and formulating strategies to

enable the organisation to grow in and adapt to the

changing environment. It will be also look at the link

between Strategy and factors such as the Macro-

Economic Environment and Government Policy. It

also looks at Finance from a Top Management

perspective. It will delineate on various Marketing

issues, as well as supporting tools and techniques

that senior management can use to be globally

competitive. These include phenomenal advances

in information technology and e-business and the

link between IT and strategy. In the Indian phase,

eminent guest speakers are invited to interact with

the participants so that sharing of knowledge

happens. The idea is to provide a top management

view on various issues in the Indian phase. One

industry visit may be planned in Gurgaon to give a

view to the participants on what is happening in the

industry in order to remain sustainable and globally

competitive.

While Phase focuses on learning in the Indian

environment, Phase II is spent with key Business

Schools and Industries in Europe. The idea being to

look at globalisation and the consequent

opportunities and issues from the other side. In

weeks 3 and 4, based on what has been discussed

and gathered during the first two weeks, participants

will be exposed to some of the current thinking and

best practices in International Business. They will be

provided with the opportunity to interact with

contemporary managers and academicians in some

of the best European business schools in Europe,

namely ESCP-Europe, European School of

Management at Paris & Turin; University of Antwerp,

Belgiumm, SDA Bocconi, Italy. A few industry visits

will be organised, which will help participants to not

only understand how businesses are managed in

Europe but also appreciate the opportunities

available to Indian organisations in Europe.

Phase II: The Overseas Learning Programme

Weeks 3 & 4

What to Expect?

MDI's Advanced Management Programme has

been designed as a fully residential Programme.

This has been done with a specific purpose-to

enable the participants to spend sufficient time

thinking and reflecting, searching the Internet,

spending time in the library, interacting with peers,

and of course linking all this with the discussions in

the classroom. Participants will spend the first two

weeks at the MDI campus in Gurgaon, where

adequate arrangements have been made for a

comfortable stay. Subsequently, the two weeks to

be spent in Europe will also be residential. In

keeping with the preceding philosophy, the entire

day will be filled with activities. Mornings and

afternoons will be spent in the classroom, with

faculty members from MDI conducting the

sessions in the mornings and eminent practicing

managers from industry conducting the afternoon

sessions. At times, pre-dinner talks would also be

arranged. Evening sessions would be devoted to

working in small groups, so as to apply the day's

learning to real-world problems. Evenings would

also be used in preparation for the next day's

sessions. Of course, to unwind and refresh the

system for the next day, MDI has several

recreational facilities available on campus, such

as golf, a gymnasium, badminton, basket ball &

tennis. In addition, there are regular yoga

sessions every morning, and participants are

encouraged to take advantage of these. Since

participants are expected to be occupied

throughout the day, they are strongly advised not

to fix up official appointments or social

engagements during the course of theAMP.

One of the main highlights of the Programme are

Industry visits done in Europe - France, Germany

& Italy. Some of the companies visited in the past

AMPs are FIAT, PIAGGIO, ARCELOR MITTAL,

VOLKSWAGEN, DASSAULT FALCON

COMPANY, EPERNAY CHAMPAGNE,

CHAMPAGNE DE CASTCILANE, BASF,

ENERGEA BIODIESEL, etc. The idea of industry

Visit is to learn about Global practices and

benchmark our own Organizations in

comparison to Global Organizations. Efforts will

be made here to interact with the working

managers in order to understand issues and

challenges facing them and comparing it with our

own issues and challenges.

Other cultural & historical visits include EIFFEL

TO W E R , L U V R E M U S E U M , PA R I S ,

SWTIZERLAND, LEANING TOWER, PISA,

VATICAN HOLY SEE, ITALY, EUROPEAN

UNION OFFICE, BRUSSELS and many other
