2. Deontology
Utilitarianism
Or
Deontology
Utilitarianism
Making decisions based on ethical consequences
But the ends do not
always justify the (ethical)
means
Utilitarianism begins with the conviction that we should
decide what to do by considering the consequences of our
actions.
Better overall consequences – those that promote
human well-being: happiness, health, dignity, integrity,
freedom, and respect of all the people affected.
The emphasis on producing the greatest good for the
greatest number makes utilitarianism a social
philosophy that provides strong support for democratic
institutions and policies.
Long-term competitiveness and sustainability
3P (Profit-People:Social-Planet:Environmental)
Results: Shared Values.
Avoid bad or harmful consequences

5. Deontology
Utilitarianism
Making decisions based on ethical principles
Utilitarianism must be supplemented with the recognition that some decisions should be
matters of principles, not consequences. In other words, the ends do not always justify
the means.
Principle-based, de-ontological.
Ethical principles can simply be taught of as types of rules, and this approach
tells us that there are some rules we ought to follow, even if doing so prevents
good consequences from happening or even if it results in some bad
consequences.
Examples: Law, duty to pay our taxes, to respect the dignity of individual human
being (“Kantian categorical imperative”), object to child labor.
Deontological Behaviors:
Short-term reactive and defense
Long-term proactive moral obligations.
Long-term commitment to social responsibility

Deontology
Making decisions based on ethical principles
Sources of Rules:
Law (Legal Rules)
Other rules are derived from various institutions in which we
participate or from various social roles that we fill i.e. professional
rules.
Organizational rules and roles-based rules: As an employee, one
takes on a certain role that creates duties. Every business will have
a set of rules that employees are expected to follow e.g. stated in a
code of conduct, employee handbooks.
Fundamental Ethical Principles of CSR:
Consumer’s Magna Carta:
The right to be heard
The right to be informed
The right to choose
Safety
The right to be heard
The right to be informed
Safety:
The concept of safety, in a
definitional sense, means “free
from harm or risk” or “secure
from threat of danger, harm, or
loss.”
i.e. Financial services do not
cause damage or financial
harm.
The right to choose

Quality Dimensions:
At least eight critical dimensions of product or service quality must be understood if business is to respond
strategically to this factor. These include:
(1) Performance – refers to a product’s primary operating characteristics. For an automobile, this would include such
items as handling, steering, and comfort.
(2) Features – The bells and whistles (Fig. extra, fancy add-ons or gadgets) of products that supplement the basic
functioning.
(3) Reliability – Refers the probability of a product malfunctioning or failing.
(4) Conformance – is the extent to which the product or service meets established standards.
(5) Durability – a measure of product life.
(6) Serviceability – refers to the speed, courtesy, competence, and ease of repair.
(7) Aesthetics – a subjective factor that refers to how the product looks, feels, tastes, and so on.
(8) Perceived quality – a subjective inference that the consumer makes on the basis of a variety of tangible and
intangible product characteristics.

9. Consumer Stakeholders:
Product and Service Issues
Quality-Ethics:
An important question is whether quality is a social or an ethical issue or just a competitive factor that business needs
to emphasize to be successful in the marketplace.
For many consumers, quality is seen to be something more than just a business issue.
Three ethical theories based on the concept of duty that informs our understanding of the ethical dimensions of quality
include:
(1) Contractual Theory
(2) Due Care Theory
(3) Social Costs View
Contract Theory
Due Care Theory
Social Costs View

10. Consumer Stakeholders:
Product and Service Issues
Quality-Ethics:
The contractual theory focuses on the contractual agreement between the firm and the customer. Firms have a
responsibility to comply with the terms of the sale, inform the customer about the nature of the product, avoid
misrepresentation of any kind, and not coerce the customer in any way.
The due care theory focuses on the relative vulnerability of the customer, who has less information and expertise than
the firm, and the ethical responsibility that places on the firm. Customers must depend on the firm providing the
product or service to live up to the claims about it and to exercise due care to avoid customer injury.
The third view, social costs, extends beyond contract theory and due care theory to suggest that, if a product causes
harm, the firm should pay the costs of any injury, even if the firm had met the terms of the contract, exercised all due
care, and taken all reasonable precautions. This perspective serves as the underpinning for strict liability and its
extension into absolute liability.

11. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC):
One of the US federal government’s major instruments for ensuring that
business lives up to its responsibilities in the relevant areas:
(1) to maintain free and fair competition in the economy and (2) to protect
consumers from unfair or misleading practices.
The FTC may issue cease-and-desist orders against companies it believes
engage in unlawful practices.
If the FTC decides an ad is false or misleading, it may order the advertiser to
withdraw the ad or run “corrective” advertising to inform the public that the
former ads were deceptive. Advertisers also may be fined for violating an FTC
order.

passed, and regulates $1 trillion worth of products a year. It ensures the safety of all food except meat, poultry, and
some egg products; ensures the safety and effectiveness of all drugs, biological products (including blood,
vaccines, and tissues for transplantation), medical devices, and animal drugs and feed, and makes sure that
cosmetics and medical and consumer products that emit radiation do no harm.
The FDA was reasserting itself as an agency planning to take swift action against violators.

Companies selling the products and services to consumers
Doctrine of Strict Liability – In its most general form, the doctrine of strict liability holds that
anyone in the value chain of a product is liable for harm caused to the user if the product as
sold was unreasonably dangerous because of its defective condition. This applies to anyone
involved in the design, manufacture, or sale of a defective product.
Another extension of strict liability is known as market share liability. This concept evolved
from delayed manifestation cases – situations in which delayed reactions to products appear
years later after consumption of, or exposure to, the product.

Aim: Strict compliance and audit programs (e.g. ISO 9001, 14000, 22000) are often springboards for
implementing more comprehensive programs addressing ethical values and to world-class
companies.
Actions (Transformation):
The goals of more evolved and inclusive ethics program may entail a broader and more expansive
application to the firm, including maintain brand and reputation, recruiting and retaining desirable
employees, helping to unify a firm’s global operations, creating a better working environment for
employees, and doing the right thing in addition to doing things right.

2001 by the International Organizational for Standardization (ISO)
This guideline is intended to be a globally consistent, practical guide for any organization wanting to
enhance its social responsibility performance (CSP).
It is important to note that it is being published as a guideline, not a standard of certification
requirements. There is no expectation that third-party certification to ISO 26000 will take place. As a
guideline it is intended to do just that – provide guidance.
There are 7 key principles of ISO 26000:

2/6/2014
24. Accountability: accountable not only for its decisions and actions related to social and environmental
issues, but also for the impact of those issues in society as a whole.
Transparency: Make information available to the organization’s communities about its practices and
the practices of its key partners and stakeholders.
Ethical Behavior: Ethical behavior includes acting with integrity, honesty, fairness, and concern for all
stakeholders and the environment. Thus ethical behavior is a commitment of acting in the best
interest of all stakeholders.
Respect for stakeholder interests – Consideration for the various stakeholders of a firm opens the firm
up to thinking about how its organizational actions impact not only internal stakeholders (suppliers,
employees, stakeholders, etc.), but also external stakeholders (consumers, government, NGOs,
community, etc.).
Respect for the Rule of Law – It is a principle of respect for those procedures that have been
designated as appropriate by the ruling organization.
Respect for human rights – The definition of human right is recognized through the United Nations
International Bill of Human Rights. It includes the admonition of discrimination, torture, kidnapping,
slavery, the abuse of children, and the abuse of migrant workers and those of disabilities. Ensuring
that persons involved in the execution of business activities are treated with respect to their full human
rights is considered to be universal.

27. Kotler et al. (2010)’s book explores the changes that are cultivating a more enlightened sort of marketing
whose powers are being enlisted to help solve urgent problems. The trend has shifted to “values-driven,
networked world in which collaboration is easy and ubiquitous”.
If “Marketing 1.0” was a product-focused enterprise born of the Industrial Revolution, and “Marketing 2.0”
was a customer-focused effort leveraging insights gained from information technology, then Kotler says
marketing’s latest incarnation must do even more. It must engage people in ways that provide “solutions to
their anxieties to make the globalized world a better place.” Practitioners must, as never before, understand
and respond to the values that drive customer choice. – Me, We, World.,

28. We are seeing that:
CSR1,2,3 and CSP essentially form the background and strong roots of the Marketing 3.0 concept that
embraces the 3C principles (co-creation, communitization, and character of spiritual essence) and 3E
actions (explore co-created solutions, engage the communities and customers, and execute with CSR13,CSP actions to develop strong spiritually rooted brand character, that also enables the consumers to live
a better healthier enabled life. – not discussed in Kotler et al. (2010) or elsewhere.
Thus, marketing is about defining your unique identity and strengthening it with authentic integrity to build
strong image and character, through co-creating with the consumers and the communities that has
transformative values to improve well-beings, intellectuality and happiness, healthiness.
Now we will see how these CSR-CSP and Marketing 3.0 business ethical principles can be applied on
social entrepreneurship i.e. Doi Tung project.

40. Summary:
We are making an effort to develop towards a theory of deontology, transformative and
utilitarianism business ethical approach for social entrepreneurship to develop business
and communities simultaneously and seamlessly.
A good theory, according to Weick (1995), explains, predicts, and delights. This work
represents an effort to stimulate research on social entrepreneurship by using existing
bodies of knowledge in marketing and business ethics.
Weick, K. (1995), Definition of Theory, pp. 565-567. in Nigel Nicholson (Ed.), Blackwell
Dictionary of Organizational Behavior, Oxford: Blackwell.
Social entrepreneurship = a process involving the innovative use and combination of
resources to pursue opportunities to catalyze social changes and address social needs.

41. Brand stories with strong integrity pose no reason to worry.
Marketing should be redefined to its root as a triangle of Positioning, Differentiation, and Brand.
A brand should be clearly positioned in the consumer’s mind to give it a clear Brand Identity.
To give Brand Integrity to your Positioning, it must be supported by strong Differentiation.
Positioning supported by strong Differentiation will in turn lead to strong Brand Image.
Brand Identity is about positioning your brand in the minds of the consumers. The positioning should
be unique for your brand to be heard and noticed in the cluttered marketplace. It should also be
relevant to the rational needs and wants of the consumers.
Brand Image is about acquiring the consumer’s mind share. Your brand values should appeal to
consumer’s emotional needs and wants beyond product functionalities and features.
Brand Integrity is about fulfilling what is claimed through the positioning and brand value through
solid Differentiation. It is about being credible to your promise and establishing the trust of the
consumers to your brand. The target of Brand Integrity is the Spirit of the consumers.
It is the main message of this triangle: Marketing shall not be regarded as telling lies for selling
purposes. Instead it should be regarded as keeping the promise to your customers.

44. Three characteristics of a good mission:
Business as usual – Creating (Brand character building – uniquely transformative)
Story that moves people – Spreading (transformative story and reality to help consumers to connect
to one another in communities)
Consumer empowerment – Realizing (co-creation, co-creating values, also to help consumers to
connect to one another in communities)
Brand missions are authentic and reflect what Peter Drucker argued: Business should start from a
good mission. Financial results come second. Amazon.com earned its first profit in 2001, after 7
years of online existence. Twitter has not even finalized its business model and is still not sure how
to monetize its services.
A good mission is always about change, transformation, and making a difference. Thus, marketing 3
(to be discussed later) is about changing the way consumers do things in their lives. When a brand
brings transformation, consumers will unconsciously accept the brand as part of their daily lives. As
the experience economy matures, it is time for the transformation economy to emerge. We believe
that the transformation economy – where a company’s offering is a consumer’s life-transforming
experience – is already on its way.
Experience Economy
Transformation Economy

45. A brand possesses great characters when it becomes the symbol of a movement that addresses the
problems in the society and transforms people’s lives – (business as usual)
Example:
The Body Shop
is the symbol of social activism
Disney
a symbol of family ideal
Wikipedia
the symbol of collaboration
eBay
the symbol of user governance.
Consumer empowerment – Giving consumers a sense of empowerment is crucial in the pursuit of a brand
mission. Mission belongs to the consumers, and it is the company’s responsibility to fulfill the mission. It is not
only about getting buy-in but making an impact. Although the individual consumer is weak, their collective
power will always be bigger than the power of any firm. The value of consumer’s collective power is rooted in
the value of a network. The network may develop with 1-to-1 relationship, 1-to-many relationship, or many-tomany relationship.
Example:
At Amazon.com it is common for readers to write Reviews of books and recommend them to others. It is also
common at eBay when people rate buyers and sellers and leave comments that determine their reputations –
all these are the consumer empowerment platforms. Consumer empowerment is the platform for consumer
conversation. Many-to-many conversation is what makes a consumer network so powerful. A brand story has
no meaning when consumers are not talking about it. In Marketing 3.0, conversation is the new advertising.

transformation, build compelling stories around it, and involve consumers in accomplishing it.

Principles, Rules:
Compliance-based
culture: rulefollowing
responsibility
Personal integrity of
its workforce
Doing things right
Utilitarianism
Goals, Values:
Value-based culture is one that reinforces
a particular set of values rather than a
particular set of rules.
Certainly these firms may have conduct
of conduct, but those codes are
predicated on a statement of values.
Doing right things
Culture (compliance cum value based) – can cultivate values, expectations, beliefs and patterns of
behavior that best and most effectively support ethical decisions making.
Thus it becomes the primary responsibility of corporate leadership to steward this effort.
In thought, word and deed, a company’s leader must clearly and unambiguously both advocate
and model ethical behavior.
Ethical business leaders not only talk about ethics and act ethically on a personal level, but they
also allocate corporate resources to support and promote ethical behavior. There is a longstanding credo of management: “Budgeting is all about values.” More common versions are “Put
your money where your mouth is” and “walk the talk.”

48. A good leader is simply anyone who does well what leaders do.
Since leaders guide, direct, and enable others towards a destination, a good leader
is someone who does this successfully and, presumably, efficiently.
Good leaders are effective at getting followers to their common destination.
But not every good leader is an ethical leader.
One key difference lies with the means used to motivate and achieve one’s goals
(utilitarianism).

culture of socially responsible behavior.
Awareness – Be aware of the actions and projects within the organization.
Culture – Establish a culture that rewards socially responsible behaviors.
Continuous improvement – Support many, small, impactful changes must be
recognized.
Strategy – The project selected should be linked to the overall strategy of the firm

The Methods

Make ethical responsible decisions
The goals
While some means may be ethically better than others (e.g., persuasion rather than
coercion), it is not the method alone that establishes a leader as ethical.
In other words, while perhaps necessary, ethical means of leading others are not sufficient
for establishing ethical leadership, and the other element of ethical leadership involves the
end or goal towards which the leader leads.

Identify stakeholders (responsibility to whom): CSR across the value chains and beyond
CSR:
CSR suggests that a business identify its stakeholder groups and incorporate their
needs and values within its strategic and operational decision-making process.
Deontology
Social contract – Rules and Principles, the
basic rules of society that embodied in law
and ethical custom.
Business is responsible: it is reliable,
dependable, trustworthy, providing good
customer service.
Obey law and beyond i.e. not to violate
anyone’s rights, to prevent harms.
Utilitarianism
Extent of responsibility: Me-We-World Utilities and Values
(CSR contributes) beyond the maximization of profits
For public good – a social mission. Share profits, make
society a better place.
Incorporating CSR can lead to differentiation and
competitive market advantage for the business,

the present and future, reduce risk, better stakeholder
relationships and supporting long-term strategic interests.

56. HRM Perspective:
Deontology
Employee / HRM:
Focus on employee rights to fair treatment and due process in the
workplace: Due process is the right to be protected against the arbitrary
use of authority. In legal contexts, due process refers to the procedures that
police and courts must follow in exercising their authority over citizens.
Due process in the sense that employees are constantly supervised and
evaluated in the workplace, (and such benefits as salary, work conditions,
and promotions can also be used to motivate or sanction employees).
Basic fairness – implemented through due process – demands that power
or authority be used justly.
Employees’ health and safety are both means for attaining other valuable
ends (and as ends in themselves).
Rewards and compensation structures (reward fairly)
Employment at will – Unless an agreement specifies otherwise, employers
are free to fire an employee at any time and for any reason. But, justice
demands that such tools not be used to harm other people.
Reverse discrimination – to encourage greater ethnics and cultural
diversity.
Affirmative action – known as positive discrimination and as employment
equity, referring to policies that take factors including race, color, religion,
sex, or national origin into consideration in order to benefit an
underrepresented group.
Utilitarianism
Employee / HRM:
Employees’ Health and Safety at
work
Provide well-being and positive
motivation to employees (i.e.
through rewards and
compensation structures)
Benefits such as salary, work
conditions and promotions.
Business expansion, Improves
economy, and thus more job

57. Sustainability Perspective:
Deontology
Utilitarianism
Sustainability:
Eco-efficiency: Doing more with less.
Biomimicry: Closed-loop production which seeks to integrate what
is presently waste back into production. In an ideal situation, the
waste of one firm becomes the resource of another, and such
synergies can create eco-industrial parks. Just as biological
processes such as photosynthesis cycle the waste of one activity
into the resource of another, this principle is often referred to as
biomimicry. The ultimate goal of biomimicry is to eliminate waste
altogether rather than reducing it.
Cradle-to-cradle responsibility: This extends biomimicry further,
responsible for incorporating the end results of its products back
into the productive cycle.
Beyond eco-efficiency and biomimicry, towards a sustainability that
involves a shift in business model from products to services,
enabling a service-based economy i.e. clothes cleaning, floor
covering, illumination, entertainment, cool air, transportation, word
processing, and so forth. Services aimed to solve customers’
problems directly and efficiently, and thus saves costs and reduce
environmental impact.

58. New definition of Marketing:
Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating,
communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for consumers,
clients, partners, and society at large (American Marketing Association, 2008)
Offerings include products, services, experiences, places, persons, ideas, and

63. In order to stay relevant in Marketing 3.0,
companies should always target the
consumers as a whole human – has
physical body, a mind capable of
independent thought and analysis, a heart
which can feel emotion, and a spirit – soul
and philosophical center.
New wave technology facilitates the widespread dissemination of information, ideas, and public opinion that
enable consumers to collaborate for value creation.
Technology facilitates the widespread dissemination of information, ideas and public opinion which enables
customers to collaborate in value creation.
Technology also drives globalization of political and legal, economy and social culture landscape which will
create paradoxes and opportunities. The iconic brands which address the anxiety and desire of the
customers will win the competition in this world of paradox. In an interlinked economy, the “butterfly effect”
exists. A small change in one part of the world can make big changes in other parts of the world. A business
leader who captures this small change might gain significant advantage.
Consumers’ sophistication generates the future market – the creative consumer market.

64. Co-Creation
Communitization
Character Building
Transformative
Targeting the mind – the battle in the consumer’s mind. That is, how you position the product in the mind of the
prospect relevantly is what matters.
Touching the heart – the marketing concept evolved because the world became more emotional. Targeting the
mind is no longer enough. Marketers should also target the hearts of the consumers through emotional
marketing, experiential marketing, emotional branding, etc. Examples: Starbucks’ concept of “third place for
drinking coffee”, Apple’s “creative imagination” are the implementations of emotionally relevant marketing. These
aimed at our emotional hearts which bear feelings.
Transcending the spirit – The concept will need to evolve once more to embrace the spirit of the consumers.
Marketers should discover the anxieties and desires of the consumers and do what Stephen Covey calls
“unlocking the soul’s code” in order to stay relevant.

68. Consider Whole Foods Market, whose value proposition is:
to sell organic, natural, and healthy food products to customers who are passionate about food and the
environment.
68
69. Creating a social dimension to the value proposition:
Social issues are fundamental to what makes Whole Foods unique in food retailing and to its ability to command
premium prices.
The company’s sourcing emphasizes purchases from local farmers through each store’s procurement process.
Buyers screen out foods containing any or nearly 100 common ingredients that the company considers
unhealthy or environmentally damaging.
The same standards apply to products made internally. Whole Foods’ baked goods, for example, use only
unbleached and un-bromated flour.

Whole Foods’ commitment to natural and environmental friendly
operating practices extends well beyond sourcing. Stores are

Recently, the company purchased renewable wind energy credits
equal to 100% of its electricity use in all of its stores and facilities, the
only Fortune 500 company to offset its electricity consumption
entirely.

Whole Foods’ vehicles are being converted to run on biofuels.
Even the cleaning products used in its stores are environmentally friendly.
71
72. Creating a social dimension to the value proposition:
And through its philanthropy, the company has created the Animal Compassion Foundation to develop more
natural and humane ways of raising farm animals.
In short, nearly every aspect of the company’s value chain reinforces the social dimensions of its value
proposition, distinguishing Whole Foods from its competitors.
72
73. Creating a social dimension to the value proposition:
Not every company can build its entire value proposition around social issues as Whole Foods does, but adding
a social dimension to the value proposition offers a new frontier in competitive positioning.
Government regulation, exposure to criticism and liability, and consumers’ attention to social issues are all
persistently increasing. As a result, the number of industries and companies whose competitive advantage can
involve social value propositions is constantly growing.
Gov. regulation, exposure to criticism and liability, consumers’ attention to social issues

74. Creating a social dimension to the value proposition:
Sysco, for example, the largest distributor of food products to restaurants and institutions in North America, has

source of competitive differentiation.

79. CSR Definition and Pyramid are minimal level of sustainable stakeholder models:
Each of the 4 components of responsibility addresses different stakeholders in terms of the
varying priorities in which the stakeholders are affected.
Economic responsibilities – most dramatically impact owners or shareholders and employees
(because if the business is not financially successful, owners, and employees will be directly
affected). When the economic recession hit, employees were displaced and significantly
affected.
Legal responsibilities are certainly crucial with respect to owners, but in today’s society, the
threat of litigation against businesses emanates frequently from employees and consumer
stakeholders.
79
80. CSR Definition and Pyramid are sustainable stakeholder models:
Ethical responsibilities affect all stakeholder groups, i.e. consumers, employees, and the
environment.
Philanthropic responsibilities most affect the community, but it could be reasoned that
employees are next affected (research suggested that a company’s philanthropic performance
significantly affects its employee’s morale).
The definition and pyramid are sustainable in that they represent long-term responsibilities that
overarch into future generations of stakeholders as well.
Community (We, World)
Stakeholders

80
82. Pyramid as a unified whole – A CSR or stakeholder perspective would focus on the total pyramid as a unified
whole and on how the firm might engage in decisions, actions, policies, and practices that simultaneously fulfill all
its component parts.
This pyramid should not be interpreted to mean that business is expected to fulfill its social responsibilities in some
sequential fashion, starting at the base. Rather, business is expected to fulfill all its responsibilities simultaneously.
Total corporate social responsibility = economic responsibilities + legal responsibilities + ethical responsibilities +
philanthropic responsibilities.
Stated in more practical and managerial terms, the socially responsible firm should strive to:
Make a profit
Obey the law
Be ethical
Be a good corporate citizen

83. Example of philanthropic responsibilities:
Timberland underwrites skills training for women working for its suppliers in China. In Bangladesh, it helps provide
microloans and health services for laborers.

85. Example of philanthropic responsibilities:
Chick-fil-A, the fast-food restaurant, through the WinShape Centre Foundation, operates foster homes for more than
120 children; sponsors a summer camp that hosts more than 1,700 campers every year, from 24 states; and has
provided college scholarships for more than 16,500 students.

88. The Body Shop continues to increase its positive environmental practices. In 2001, The Body Shop UK
region and service-centre head offices in Watersmead, switch to Ecotricity, providing them with energy
from renewable sources. In addition, a number of The Body Shop® stores have now converted to green
electricity.
Campaign successes include the Against Animal Testing campaign. The campaign leads to a UK-wide
ban on animal testing of cosmetic products and ingredients in November 1998, and the largest ever
petition (four million signatures) being delivered to the European Commission in 1996.

90. When Blake Mycoskie was on a visit to Argentina in 2006, a bright idea struck him. He was wearing alpargatas –
resilient, lightweight, canvas slip-ons – shoes typically worn by Argentinian farmworkers, during his visit to poor
villages where many of the residents had no shoes at all.
90
91. He formulated the plan to start a shoe company and give away a pair of shoes to some needy child or person for
every shoe the company sold. This became the basic mission of the company.
91
92.
In the summer of 2006, he unveiled his first collection of Toms shoes.
Stores such as American Rag and Fred Segal in Los Angeles, and
Scoop in New York, started stocking his shoes. By fall, the company
had sold 10,000 pairs and he was off to the Argentinian countryside,
along with several volunteers, to give away 10,000 pairs of shoes.
92
93.
In an article in Time magazine, Blake was quoted as saying, “I always thought I’d spend the first half of
my life making money and the second half giving it away. I never thought I could do both at the same
time.”
By February 2007, Blake’s company had orders from 300 stores for 41,000 of his spring and summer
collection of shoes, and he had big plans to go international by entering markets in Japan, Australia,
Canada, France, and Spain in the summer of 2008.
The company is also planning to introduce a line of children’s shoes called Tiny Toms. Another shoe drop
is planned for Argentina, with future trips targeting Asia and Africa.

96. Summary:
To really develop and implement strategic CSR, companies must shift from a fragmented, defensive posture
to an integrated, affirmative approach.
Perceiving CSR as building shared value rather than as damage control or as a PR campaign will require
dramatically different thinking in business.
The focus must move away from an emphasis of image to an emphasis on substance.
Corporations are not responsible for all the world’s problems, nor do they have the resources to solve them
all. Each company can identify the particular set of societal problems that it is best equipped to help resolve
and from which it can gain the greatest competitive benefit.
Addressing social issues by creating shared value will lead to self-sustaining solutions that do not depend on
private or government subsidies.

Corporate Social Responsiveness:
Corporate social responsiveness is depicted as an action-oriented variant of CSR.
The connotation of “responsibility” is that of the process of assuming an obligation. It places an
emphasis on motivation rather than on performance. Responding to social demands is much more than
deciding what to do. There remains the management task of doing what one has decided to do, and
this task is far from trivial.

Sethi’s three-stage scheme: Sethi proposes a three-stage schema for classifying corporate behavior:

“preventive”, and is concerned with business’s long-term role in a dynamic social system.

CSR1 refers to the traditional, accountability concept of CSR.
CSR2 is responsiveness focused. It refers to the capacity of a corporation to respond to social
pressures. It involves the literal act of responding to, or achieving, a responsive posture to society. It
addresses the mechanisms, procedures, arrangements, and patterns by which business responds to
social pressures.
CSR3 refers to corporate social rectitude, which is concerned with the moral correctness of the actions
or policies taken. CSR3 integrates business ethics into responsiveness.

Social responsiveness dimension – continuum of responsive actions.
Social (or stakeholder) issues involved – concerns the scope or range of social or stakeholder issues that
management must address in the first two dimensions.
The model is useful step toward understanding social responsibility and provides a framework that could lead to
better-managed social performance.
The model could be used as planning and diagnostic problem-solving tool. It can assist the managers by
identifying categories within which the organization and its decisions can be situated.

It is a term practitioners and academics alike have grown fond of but it is really not distinct from CSR, CSR, CSP.

Broad View
Corporate citizenship encompasses terms that
basically embraces all that is implied in the
concepts of social responsibility, responsiveness,
and performance:
Social responsibility – a reflection of shared moral
and ethical principles.
Social responsiveness – a vehicle for integrating
individuals into the communities in which they work.
Social performance – a form of enlightened selfinterest that balances all stakeholders’ claims and
enhances a company’s long-term values.
Narrow View
Corporate community relationship – It
embraces the functions through which
business intentionally interacts with
nonprofit organizations, citizen groups,
and other stakeholders at the
community level.
Extend to global community levels.

Improved employee relations (i.e., improves employee
recruitment, retention, morale, loyalty, motivation, and
productivity)
Improved customer relationships (e.g., increases
customer loyalty, acts as a tiebreaker for consumer
purchasing, and enhances brand image)
Improved business performance (e.g., positive impacts
bottom-line returns, increases competitive advantage,
and encourages cross-functional integration).
Enhanced company’s marketing efforts (e.g., helps
create a positive company image, helps a company
manage its reputation, and supports higher prestige
pricing)
104
105. The development of corporate citizenship reflects a stage-by-stage process in which seven
dimensions (citizenship concept, strategic intent, leadership, structure, issues management,
stakeholder relationships, and transparency) evolve as they move through five stages, and
companies become more sophisticated in their approaches to corporate citizenship. This is a
five-stage model beginning with Stage 1, which is Elementary, and growing toward Stage 5,
which is Transforming.

111. Brand stories with strong integrity pose no reason to worry.
Marketing should be redefined to its root as a triangle of Positioning, Differentiation, and Brand.
A brand should be clearly positioned in the consumer’s mind to give it a clear Brand Identity.
To give Brand Integrity to your Positioning, it must be supported by strong Differentiation.
Positioning supported by strong Differentiation will in turn lead to strong Brand Image.
Brand Identity is about positioning your brand in the minds of the consumers. The positioning should
be unique for your brand to be heard and noticed in the cluttered marketplace. It should also be
relevant to the rational needs and wants of the consumers.
Brand Image is about acquiring the consumer’s mind share. Your brand values should appeal to
consumer’s emotional needs and wants beyond product functionalities and features.
Brand Integrity is about fulfilling what is claimed through the positioning and brand value through
solid Differentiation. It is about being credible to your promise and establishing the trust of the
consumers to your brand. The target of Brand Integrity is the Spirit of the consumers.
It is the main message of this triangle: Marketing shall not be regarded as telling lies for selling
purposes. Instead it should be regarded as keeping the promise to your customers.

113. Meaning
Marketing
Marketing in its culmination will be a consonance of three concepts:
Identity
So people get to known you
Integrity
So people have trust and confidence on you
Image
So people recognize you to deliver relevant value
Marketing is about clearly defining your unique identity and strengthening it with authentic integrity to
build strong image.
Marketing 3.0 is also about the marketing of meaning embedded in the corporate mission, vision,
and values. Marketing should no longer be considered as only selling and using tools to generate
demand. Marketing should be considered as the major hope of a company to restore consumer trust
and to promote social well-being.
