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.
