...The Link Between Competitive Advantage & Corporate Social Responsibility | Business and Society | | There is currently growing interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) among both companies and managers. It has become an important topic of theoretical concentration and one of the most widely accepted business concepts. The major issues in the field of CSR concern stakeholder analysis and corporate strategic management. Numerous attempts have been made to link CSR and financial performance. While the debate over CSR continues, it reveals that some additional research can be done on the link between CSR and competitive advantage (CA). CSR is understood to be the way firms integrate social, environmental, and economic concerns into their values, culture, decision making, strategy, and operations in a transparent and accountable manner (Berger, 2007).

Alle onderdelen kunnen in verschillende volgorde worden gedaan. BASISPLAN 1. Probleemanalyse/organisatievraag : - Er is een knelpunt of organisatievraag -> iedereen andere interpretatie, dus iedereen definieert ook een andere probleemstelling. - Je moet het probleem duidelijk kunnen omschrijven -> moeilijk - Probleem achterhalen is oriënteren in de interne en externe analyse. Alles begint met een briefing van ongeveer 1uur30 waarin je als communicatieprofessional het probleem moet zoeken. Er is een knelpunt of vraag dat bij de huidige communicatie fout zit, je moet goed op de hoogte zijn van het beleid van de onderneming. Je organisatievraag is niet altijd het werkelijke probleem. Het kan liggen aan vele factoren(concurrenten..) ipv aan de communicatie. Een briefing is iets waar ze alles ingooien, dus communicatieprof moet vragen stellen want hij moet de probleemstelling...
