What are some of the precautions that a firm must take when investing in corporate social responsibility (CSR)?
What will be an ideal response?
David Vogel, a political science professor at Berkeley, contends that while there is a market for firms with strong corporate social responsibility (CSR) missions, it is a niche market and one that therefore caters to only a small group of consumers or investors. He argues that, contrary to a global shift in the business environment, CSR instead should be perceived as just one option for a business strategy that might be appropriate for certain types of firms under certain conditions, such as those with well-known brand names and reputations that are subject to threats by activists. He warns of the exposure a firm might suffer if it then does not live up to its CSR promises. He also cautions against investing in CSR when consumers are not willing to pay higher prices to support that investment.
