Network:0 JOAN WALDROP Senior Project Manager, MorphoTrak tacoma, WA, USA	Interesting concepts. I located one of the CSR rating sites that Jennifer mentioned and looked up my own company's ratings, www.csrhub.com. Posted: Mar 22, 2012 1:04 AM
Network:0 Andrew Kagan CTO, Planet Technologies Inc. Germantown, MD, USA	Good delivery and the content is OK, but I do fundamentally disagree with the whole premise of Corporate Social Responsibility. I think Milton Freedman was right - CSR is a nonsense. Corporations can not and do not have social responsibilities, people do! Milton Freedman, a warm and carrying man and a brilliant economist (regardless of the fact whether ones agrees or disagrees with his theories), was often misunderstood and vilified. Anyway, I think most of the examples made in the presentation hold true, but need to be interpreted differently - those corporations pursued their own (shareholder) interests and in the process created unintended (or sometimes intended) positive consequences. Apparently, this is how free and open markets work :) Posted: Feb 16, 2012 10:15 AM
