Re: Will Globalization Effect CSR? Vol. 2

Stacy McCoy — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 12:07:26 -0000

I think that American corporations should do more to foster job creation and economic development in the United States. But I don't necessarily look at that in terms of CSR. I think it's more about Nationalism. These corporations were able to get to the point that they are at, and the C-suite level employers were able to acquire the immense amount of wealth that they have, because they are an American company and American citizens. I think they should feel strong ties to their country. And want to help their fellow Americans and their nation out. They are a big part of the problem, and should be a big part of the solution. But I think that comes out of love for your country, being an American, and a deep appreciation for what this country has given you. I guess in some ways that ties into some of the overarching CSR themes. But I tend to compartmentalize the two.

Re: Do Businesses Really Care Or Is It All About Appearances?

Claire Axelrad — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 03:55:29 -0000

Do we really care what motivates any donor? If an individual gives because they want to rub elbows with their peers, that's okay with me. We need to start by teaching that giving can bring joy -- in some way, shape or form.

Re: Does Technology Help Or Hurt Ethics?

Patricia Parsons — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 18:18:07 -0000

Technology can neither help nor hurt ethics in PR. The use of the technology by individuals is the key. There are way to use technology to enhance organizational accountability and transparency. There are just as many opportunities for the less moral among us creatively apply the new technologies to obscure and obfuscate. The ethical responsibility lies with the individual practitioner and organziation.

Re: Should Bad Results Be Reported Too?

Bradley Short — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 12:06:12 -0000

Well, do you want to be credible? If yes, then yes, if no, then no.

Reporting both the good and the bad is the only way for an organization that is truly committed to sustainability. Look at the poster-child of corporate sustainability Interface...they will be the first to admit that their products on the whole do more harm to the environment than good. Their honesty and drive to completely flip this upside down has made them who they are: a sustainability AND a business leader. So there's your case.

Re: 7 Amazing Social Media Tools

Gabe Chesman — Fri, 20 May 2011 14:14:50 -0000

I use them combined with larger social media platforms. These just cut down the time spend looking for news, stats, etc.

Gabe, I thought I had a solid view of the Twitter tool word, but there are definitely some tools on your list that I haven't heard of before! Thanks for the heads up. However, do you use these in conjunction with any other applications - like Sprout Social - or just on their own?

Re: Why Is CSR Popular?

Gabe Chesman — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 14:24:21 -0000

If CSR is rubbish then explain why it's become so popular. Explain why it may become mandatory in certain places. Management consultants don't need garner attention, we let the numbers speak for themselves.

Re: Why Is CSR Popular?

Ego_veritas — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 10:22:14 -0000

management consultants needs reasons to make up one rubbish theory after another to garner attention without sorting the bottomline, its just stupid theories, does CSR ever give you ROI or does it lead to a better social intelligence in the company,

Re: CSR Needs A More Specific Definition

Gabe Chesman — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 10:48:56 -0000

It does have a definition. However, the current definition is ambiguous and easily confuses people due to the multitude of sectors using the same term in different ways.

Re: How Well Do You Know Gen-Y?

Wiarumas — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 17:20:06 -0000

Generation Y is restoring the democratic voice. We have the tools necessary to have our voice heard. Unlike previous generations, we have soap boxes to shout our thoughts off. Add in the fact that we are team based with communal instincts, its only natural that word of mouth through social networking, reviews, and previous experiences will trump other forms of thought. For more Gen Y related views stop by http://theechoboom.com

Great post, Gabe! I think you hit the nail on the head. Companies have to adopt CSR strategies or else.

Re: Did Social Media Prove Its Worth In Haiti?

stephen j edgar — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 13:52:24 -0000

Hi Gabe, thanks for the post. The real test for the social media phenom and it's impact on Haiti will be in the coming weeks and months. Sure it's been an incredible vehicle for raising funds however, as far as staying power goes, we'll just have to wait and see whether or not these efforts are wasted like they have been in the past.
My hope is that the millions of people who've opened their wallets for Haiti these last few days take the time to look into the question "what is Haiti". She will only rise from the ashes once the international community educates itself and sheds it's misconceptions.

Re: 5 Steps to Begin Using Social Media For Business

Marketing-made-simple.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:16:37 -0000

Useful post - I'd probably add, be honest and open in your communication. The users of social media tools don't have the same tolerances for marketing spin as in other promotional channels. If customers believe their needs and concerns are being genuinely addresses, the chances of participation are much greater

Habría que complementar la estrategia con tres fases: Posicionamiento del producto, planteamiento de objetivos y feedback.

Sin unos objetivos claros y sin un posicionamiento del producto es dificil saber si los resultados obtenidos son los deseados
