Mauro Libi Crestani: Profit and sustainable solutions to social issues

Can a company gain a competitive advantage while solving social problems. In fact, that is what the most innovative and successful companies are currently doing. We need to overcome the stigma associated with profit-seeking behaviors. Profit is actually essential for enabling scalable and sustainable solutions to social issues. We need to stop criticizing profit-seeking behaviors of companies and at the same time attempt to channel some of those profits toward  towards greater social purposes. After all, the source of all philanthropic donations and tax revenues come from business profits in the first place.

Mark Zuckerberg started Internet.org. Did he start this company for profit or for the greater good of society? When we get involved into that debate , then we are at war with the very companies that can do good and have the money resources to help society. Facebook and Google in 2013 committed their companies to getting the 5 billion people around the world without Internet access online. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook wants this project to be known as charity. He tried to downplay the idea that it is a share value and that his company gains also from helping others.  “ … focused on [Internet access] more because we think it’s something good for the world rather than something that is going to be really amazing for our profits.” But seriously, what is wrong if Facebook and Google gain why they bring internet to poor and third world countries? Third world and impoverished countries will have access to information that can help them in business and in agriculture and in finance and where they can have internet access to medical doctors. This is the right social issue  for Facebook and Google to take on, because they want to solve it. It aligns business and social incentives. At the same time most of the people who the companies help connect will become Facebook and Google users, and potentially drive incremental profit for the companies. We need to stop worrying whether these companies gain from such initiatives and accept that they have found a perfect way to use capitalism to do good.

How does technology help in business communication?

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication. I still remember when everything was reduced to memos, billboards, advertisements, photos and one or another printed publication in order to communicate inside the company; at the same time absolutely massive Advertising in existing media was in charge to go to the great public which included our customers and prospects.  Today we can say that with the advance of humankind, communication needed is also appearing.

Mauro Libi: Social responsibility can improve your financial performance

 Social responsibility represents benefits for the society where the organizations are located, but for the companies too , since their effects are also felt in profitability.Just as you read it, it is proven that the risk of affecting the profitability of companies and enterprises grows when there is no specific application of responsibility with the organization's environment, nor transparency and business ethics. It is therefore, essential that organizations incorporate socially responsible actions into their management and, the benefits go beyond philanthropy or timely help that companies can provide to the communities where they operate.The actions of social responsibility are highly beneficial for organizations beyond the immediate effect that their action generates in society, and in the long term, the contribution that companies and enterprises make in their environment help generate a virtuous circle and healthy economic development.  How they do this...

Mauro Libi Crestani: Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations

By  Mauro Libi Crestani.  Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs. This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..
