Smart corporations are looking for ways to incorporate sustainable operations
and have a positive impact on society while carrying out their operations. This
paradigm shift has some corporations re-evaluating how they do business – and is
giving a competitive edge to others.
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of
Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, Melissa Carrier, executive
director of the Center for Social Value Creation, discusses how creating social
value is an important business strategy.
Smith’s Center for Social Value Creation joins the Center for
International Business Education and Research (CIBER)in hosting a one-day forum,
“Leadership for a Better World: Creating Social Value
through Innovation,” at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. on
September 25, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The forum will feature a series of
high-profile thought leaders on the role of business in society and fostering
social change through models of innovation. Academics, business leaders,
nonprofit executives and policy makers are invited to attend and join in the
discussion.
