#Apple CSR #Strategy – #Risk risk risk
Triple Pundit has just published a strong critique of Apple’s approach to corporate social responsibility. The leadership point is especially telling (see my post earlier today), but in general what this sharp series of points suggests to me is that with the passing of the baton a fresh approach is being explored that has yet … Continue reading
The #CSR Business: Alignment and Transparency in C21
In the old (pre-Murdoch) days, The Times of London, which then had a fair claim to be the world’s premier newspaper, promoted itself for years with the tagline, “When The Times speaks, the world listens.” But in the 1960s when I first began reading it the entire front page was still filled with classified ads. … Continue reading

#California and Destiny: #Valley #DC #China #Innovation #Singularity #TED et al.
As news keeps coming in of California’s decline – budget, public schooling, even the UC system – some strategic stock-taking is in order.

Rupert #Murdoch ‘s Unfolding Disaster #CSR
How to Hit an Iceberg: Rupert Murdoch’s Unfolding Disaster Reposted from 7/28 2011 As events have unfolded in the News of the World scandal I have kept being reminded of a phrase that explains much of the appeal of that (now defunct) newspaper: the fascination of the horrible.

Unilever’s #CSR #Sustainability Marketing Push
Unilever plans corporate sustainability ads | News | Marketing Week.
