Summary

2012

Michael Porter and Mark kramer ‘ successful companies do not view economic success and

social responsibility as a dilemma. Instead they integrate social responsibility as a source of

innovation and lasting competitiveness. Essentially, they do exactly what successful companies do:

They get better and more competitive every day to fulfil the expectations of their shareholders and

stakeholders’.
