Launched with much fanfare and led by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan as chairman of the board, AGRA sought to help millions of African farmers and their families achieve food security and lift themselves out of poverty. By 2008, AGRA had assembled a strong leadership team and had funded numerous small projects ranging from seed development to education. However, it needed to secure additional funding from public and private donors, gain the cooperation of governments, and catalyze private markets to achieve its goals.    China’s Evolving Labor Laws (A)   Add   View  12 pp.  Case Author(s): Paine, Lynn Sharp; Sesia, Aldo , Jr. Publication Date: 01/29/2008 Revision Date: 11/20/2009 Product Type: Case (Library) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 308092 Geographic Setting: China Event Year Start: 2006 Subjects: Contracts; Labor relations; Public relations; Emerging markets; International business; Labor unions; Business & government Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Supplementary Materials: Supplement, (308093), 11p, by Lynn Sharp Paine, Aldo Sesia Product Description: The (A) case describes key provisions of the new labor contract law proposed by China's National People's Congress in 2006.

It was one of the first companies to provide paid vacations, health insurance, sick leave, job sharing, and domestic partner benefits. Its human resources portfolio included a full array of progressive policies and programs. There was increasing flexibility in how people were employed, including alumni. But in its quest to become a globally integrated enterprise, IBM needed to continue to develop new ways of working. The company's response to the Asian Tsunami showed it at its best-values-driven, self-organizing, able to move at lightning speed connecting global and local resources. This was the kind of global leadership and citizenship the fifth Integration and Values Team (IVT5) was charged with enhancing. But how could IBM provide a tsunami-relief-like experience to everyone, without a disaster?    Module III — Moral Leadership Class Summaries   Add   View  10 pp.  Case Author(s): Sucher, Sandra J.

Coal is a crucial source of global energy, but coal-fired plants are environmentally unfriendly and are a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. One way to reduce emission is through clean coal technologies, a term which usually refers to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), also referred to as Carbon Capture and Sequestration. CCS projects around the world are in the pilot and planning stage. The U.S. government has become involved in promoting clean coal technology by setting aside $3.4 billion for CCS projects through the Department of Energy. One billion of that will go toward a troubled CCS project called “FutureGen” in Illinois, and the government is trying to put together a group of 20 private companies to invest in the project in order for it to move forward. Private Companies, such as American Electric Power Company and Duke Energy are also working on their own individual CCS pilot projects. The Chinese government has also gotten involved in promoting clean coal technologies by dedicating billions of dollars to technology development and joining with private companies on CCS projects, the most notable of which is GreenGen. Seventy percent of China's energy comes from coal, as well as eighty percent of its electricity. The case also looks at the arguments and impact of environmentalists on the adoption of clean coal technologies. Environmentalists, most notably former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, believe that clean coal is a myth and have been lobbying against cl    Levi Strauss & Co.: Global Sourcing (A)   Add   View  29 pp.  Case Author(s): Paine, Lynn Sharp; Katz, Jane Palley Publication Date: 11/29/1994 Revision Date: 02/27/1997 Product Type: Case (Library) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 395127 Number of Employees: 36,000 Gross Revenue: $5.6 billion revenues Event Year Start: 1992 Event Year End: 1993 Subjects: Country analysis; Foreign investment; International business; Ethics; Brands; Sourcing Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Supplementary Materials: Supplement, (395128), 8p, by Jane Palley Katz; Case Teaching Note, (395213), 31p, by Lynn Sharp Paine, Joshua D. Margolis Product Description: In 1993, senior managers at Levi Strauss & Co., the world's largest brand-name apparel manufacturer, were deciding whether the company should have a business presence in China, given the human rights and other problems there. The China Policy Group has been asked to use the company's “principled reasoning approach” to make a recommendation based on the company's ethical values and newly-adopted global sourcing guidelines.    Merck Global Health Initiatives (A)   Add   View  16 pp.  Case Author(s): Austin, James E.; Barrett, Diana; Weber, James Publication Date: 01/26/2001 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 301088 Geographic Setting: United States Number of Employees: 62,000 Gross Revenue: $32.7 billion sales Event Year Start: 2000 Event Year End: 2000 Subjects: Developing countries; Business government relations; AIDS; Social enterprise Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: The case series focuses on Merck's drug donation program and then raises new issues facing management about what to do about HIV/AIDS in Africa given the company's development of a new therapy.

As an intermediary nonprofit organization, IAVI brought together partners with different perspectives and motivations from nonprofit, industry, government and scientific research sectors toward developing vaccines. IAVI played several roles: honest broker, integrator and communicator of knowledge regarding AIDS vaccine research, passionate advocate for AIDS vaccines at national and international levels, and coordinator and manager of research and development initiatives. In 2008, IAVI invested further in its own laboratories and research infrastructure, moving a step upstream in vaccine development partnerships and clinical research. How should IAVI manage tensions between what is necessary to achieve its mission and what is necessary to build new incentive structures that enable key actors to work together effectively?    American Electric Power: Investing in Forest Conservation   Add   View  18 pp.  Case Author(s): Plambeck, Erica; Daily, Gretchen; Gaviser Leslie, Sara Publication Date: 03/09/2010 Product Type: Case Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: OIT96 Geographic Setting: North America; South America Subjects: Cash flow; Return on investment; Decision analysis; Developing countries; Energy; Government policy; Project evaluation; Climate change; Natural resources Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Supplementary Materials: Spreadsheet Supplement, (OIT96S), 0p, by Erica Plambeck, Gretchen Daily, Sara Gaviser Leslie Product Description: This case focuses on an opportunity that American Electric Power (AEP) has to invest, with The Nature Conservancy (TNC), in one of the world's first projects for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). The proposed plan was to protect 812,000 hectares of rich, biologically diverse forest land, known as Bosque Rojo, in central Peru. This project would address the two issues targeted by REDD by ending both deforestation from the local communities' conversion of land from forest to farmland and forest degradation from commercial logging. REDD projects offered a substantial opportunity to mitigate climate change, as deforestation and forest degradation contributed approximately 15-20 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Protecting Bosque Rojo could prevent the release of millions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). The project partners and investors would obtain certified offset credits equivalent to the reduction in emissions over the 30-year project lifetime. Among U.S. power companies, AEP had one of the highest levels of CO2 emissions. It estimated its 2009 emissions would reach 150M metric tonnes. With climate change legislation on the horizon, it wanted to set an example for Congress to show that REDD offsets could lead to cost-effective reduction in GHG emissions, and also g    Overview of the Nonprofit Sector   Add   View  12 pp.  Case Author(s): Austin, James E.; Backman, Elaine V.

Kasturi Rangan Product Description: To maximize their effectiveness, color cases should be printed in color. Describes the mission, vision, and strategy of a team of entrepreneurs headed by a charismatic heart surgeon who founded a heart hospital in Bangalore, India. The purpose of the hospital was to offer health care for the masses. This tertiary care hospital performed over 4,000 surgeries a year (approximately half on pediatric patients), which is more than that performed by The Cleveland Clinic and the Mayo Clinic (ranked #1 and #2 in the United States) combined. The interesting aspect of its business formula was its ability to offer such complex surgeries as CABG (popularly known as bypass surgery) for about $2,000, which was substantially less than other similarly equipped hospitals in India. Its founder has already entered into other complementary activities, such as a statewide insurance scheme for rural farmers — Yeshaswini. The founder has ambitious plans for a comprehensive “Walmartization” of health care in India. Includes color exhibits.    The Knight Management Center   Add   View  15 pp.  Case Author(s): Kraft, Jake ; Kavanaugh, Kathleen ; Shiv, Baba Publication Date: 01/04/2010 Product Type: Case Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: RE135 Geographic Setting: California Subjects: Sustainability Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: The Dean of the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), Bob Joss, must decide whether to make the school's new campus LEED certified. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and was an environmental certification awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED was a system where projects earned points for satisfying specific green building criteria. In addition to the added cost of making the campus LEED certified, which was thought to be around $11 million, but was very hard to estimate, Joss had to take into consideration the differing opinions of the school's faculty, alumni, students and administration. While many of the school's alumni and students were in favor of the certification, faculty tended to be against it. Stanford's administration was decidedly against pursuing LEED certification. There were several arguments for pursuing LEED certification. First, the GSB would take a leadership position in sustainability, which would teach students about the importance of the role of sustainability in business and serve as a model for the business community. It would also give the GSB a competitive advantage in attracting students to the school. There were also arguments against pursuing LEED certification. Would the environmental concerns be put ahead of practical day-to-day operational functionality, such as having sufficient light and air conditioning? Some felt that the LEED system itself was flawed, with a rigid point system, which they believed counted nominal environmental improvements rather than real ones. Also, Stanford's administration argued that the school had its    Sustainable Development at Shell (A)   Add   View  21 pp.  Case Author(s): Wei-Skillern, Jane Publication Date: 03/03/2003 Revision Date: 07/06/2004 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 303005 Number of Employees: 90,000 Gross Revenue: $178 billion revenues Event Year Start: 2001 Event Year End: 2002 Subjects: Globalization; Entrepreneurship; Innovation; Leadership; Ethics; Social enterprise; Strategy formulation; Multinational corporations Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Supplementary Materials: Supplement, (303074), 1p, by Jane Wei-Skillern; Case Teaching Note, (305004), 11p, by Jane Wei-Skillern Product Description: Describes the complex and challenging process by which social and environmental concerns are integrated into the existing strategy of a large, multinational firm. Details the circumstances leading up to a large-scale effort to transform Shell's strategy to take into account principles of sustainable development. This case describes corporate-level sustainable development initiatives and the process through which a comprehensive sustainable development strategy was initiated and developed.    Nestle: Sustainable Agriculture Initiative   Add   View  24 pp.  Case Author(s): Reinhardt, Forest Publication Date: 12/10/2004 Revision Date: 05/26/2005 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 705018 Number of Employees: 1,000 Gross Revenue: $75 billion revenues Event Year Start: 2002 Event Year End: 2005 Subjects: Developing countries; Environmental protection; Social issues; Strategy formulation; Supply chain management Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: Swiss food giant Nestle attempts to improve the performance of its suppliers of agricultural commodities to raise quality, lower costs, and contribute to sustainable development. Its initiatives focus first on coffee, cocoa, and milk. Nestle managers assert that the initiatives deliver both private benefits (better quality and reduced costs to the firm) and social benefits (higher incomes for farmers, better environmental quality in farming regions). Questions include the ways in which these programs create value for shareholders, the manner in which they should be marketed, and their efficacy in addressing social issues.    Ma Jun and the IPE: Using Information to Improve China’s Environment   Add   View  29 pp.  Case Author(s): Lee, Hau ; Plambeck, Erica ; Shao, Maria Publication Date: 07/30/2009 Product Type: Case Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: SI115 Geographic Setting: China Subjects: Globalization; Nonprofit organizations; Factories; Manufacturing; Sourcing; Outsourcing Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Supplementary Materials: Case Teaching Note, (SI115T), 22p, by Hau Lee, Erica Plambeck, Maria Shao Product Description: The Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs, founded and led by prominent Chinese environmentalist Ma Jun, was a small non-profit organization with an outsized mission. The Beijing-based group aimed to be a catalyst in “greening” China's manufacturing facilities. The IPE operated public, online databases of air and water violations by factories throughout China, creating a groundbreaking “blacklist” of polluters. By mid-2009, IPE had compiled databases with more than 47,000 air and water violations. To get off the list, 22 multinational corporations took corrective actions and accepted IPE-supervised environmental audits of their Chinese factories. Ma was a champion of increasing access to environmental information, which he believed could bring public pressure on companies to operate more responsibly. Ma also was a well-respected voice on China's environment and a leading advocate of public participation in managing China's environment. But the environmental entrepreneur was searching for ways his organization could make a bigger impact. The case presents the contributions that a non-governmental organization can make in bringing about environmental change. It focuses on the role that information transparency and supply chain improvements can play in reducing pollution.    Manville Corp.

For each strategy, it outlines the key challenges faced by firms along with suggestions for overcoming them. The burdens firms bear in providing services in response to public policy failures are substantial.

By late 2008, however, WaMu's stock had plummeted to 16 cents as it became infamous as the largest bank failure in U.S. history. Relying on publicly available published sources, the case documents eroding focus on customers, excessive risks in subprime mortgages, alleged unethical pressure on mortgage officers to approve bad loans, attempts by the CEO to retain his job, and the eventual termination of the CEO, sale of the company to Chase, and destruction of all shareholder value. Whereas the (A) case documents WaMu's formula for success, the (B) case challenges readers to discover the seeds of destruction in the company's leadership, culture, incentives, and human resource policies and practices. WaMu's death contains some hard lessons of the danger of success and pride.    Nestle’s Milk Districts: Case Supplement   Add   View  50 pp.  Case Author(s): Goldberg, Ray A.; Herman, Kerry Publication Date: 11/02/2005 Product Type: Supplement (Field) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 906411 Subjects: Models; Globalization; Economic development; Social enterprise; Poverty; Partnerships; Value chains; Supply chain management Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: Supplements the case “Nestle's Milk District Model: Economic Development for a Value-Added Food Chain and Improved Nutrition.” Nestle as the largest milk company in the world, has a history of economic development, nutrition, health, and food safety in all the major countries of the world.

Tom Arnold, the CEO, and Alicia Seiger, the VP of Business Development, were still deep in conversation about how best to handle a critical article that had just been published in BusinessWeek, a respected magazine with one million readers. The executives were concerned that the article could jeopardize TerraPass's Series A financing, which was currently underway. They also worried about the impact the negative publicity might have on the company's strategic partnerships with the Ford Motor Company and Expedia.com, as well as on the reputation that the start up had worked so hard to build with its customers. Given the stakes involved, it seemed critical for TerraPass to respond to the article within a matter of hours. However, Arnold and Seiger had yet to settle on a strategy. The clock kept ticking as they discussed what to do.    Not for Profit / Private Sector Partnerships in Sport and Physical Activity: ParticipACTION as Champion   Add   View  20 pp.  Case Author(s): O'Reilly, Norm; Foster, George Publication Date: 05/27/2010 Product Type: Case Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: SPM43 Subjects: Nonprofit organizations; Philanthropies; Marketing; Partnerships; Corporations; Nongovernmental organizations; Health; Government Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: In 2009, ParticipACTION was a Toronto-based not-for-profit organization that had a storied history of inspiring and supporting active and healthy living for Canadians. Led by CEO Kelly Murumets, ParticipACTION was to lead a steering committee of representatives of the not-for-profit sector and the private sector, as well as academics, towards developing a set of how-to' guidelines for not-for-profit sport and physical activity organizations on forming effective partnerships with the private sector. Due to decreasing government support, the need to secure alternate resources and funding, and the proliferation of competition, sports and health organizations were extremely interested in such partnerships. Recent successes made ParticipACTION realize that it and other sports advocate organizations around the globe, needed to become more strategic and innovative in engaging private companies. Coming off of a successful internal restructuring and partnership with Coca Cola, ParticipACTION received an opportunity to be involved with the upcoming 3rd International Congress on Physical Activity and Public Health Conference (ICPAPH ). ICPAPH would attract over 1000 leaders from dozens of countries and would be an ideal forum for sharing guidelines for responsible partnerships. This case surveys sports and healthy living advocacy and explores how ParticipACTION went about leading the process to develop guidelines for private sector partnerships.    Homeless World Cup: Social Entrepreneurship, Cause Marketing, and a Partnership with Nike   Add   View  26 pp.  Case Author(s): Foster, George; Hornblower, Jocelyn; O'Reilly, Norm Publication Date: 06/04/2010 Product Type: Case Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: E376 Subjects: Global business; Nonprofit organizations; Entrepreneurs; Marketing; Partnerships; Start-ups Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Supplementary Materials: Case Teaching Note, (E376TN), 7p, by George Foster, Jocelyn Hornblower, Norm O'Reilly Product Description: The case follows Mel Young, Founder and President of Homeless World Cup, a non-profit organization whose mission is to eliminate homelessness around the world.

Now, Manville's senior managers are being told that it is “culturally inappropriate” to proceed with this plan in Japan.    The Last Frontier: Market Creation in Conflict Zones, Deep Rural Areas, and Urban Slums   Add   View  24 pp.  Case Author(s): Anderson, Jamie; Markides, Constantinos C.; Kupp, Martin Publication Date: 08/01/2010 Product Type: Case Publisher: California Management Review HBS Number: CMR462 Subjects: Developing countries; Economic development; Social issues; Community relations; Partnerships; Business growth; Social responsibility; Growth strategy Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: By operating in war zones, urban slums, and deep rural areas, companies could not only achieve growth and profits, but could also improve the economic and social conditions of these impoverished regions. Yet how can a company operate in areas with unstable security, poor infrastructure, and little or no formal legal frameworks in place? To do so successfully, companies need to go beyond transactional alliances or legalistic business partnerships with local partners. Instead, they need to develop community buy-in and long-term personal relationships based on trust with “unorthodox” local inhabitants-the ones offering them security and protection rather than technology and business assets. Such deep social embeddedness is not cost-free. To prevent it from derailing their success, companies need to nurture and grow their local partners beyond their specific needs.    The benefits and costs of corporate social responsibility   Add   View  9 pp.  Case Author(s): Maines, Laureen A.; Sprinkle, Geoffrey B.

This article investigates the impact of two principal drivers-competitive dynamics and regulatory pressure-on the carbon management strategies of some of the most energy-intensive UK-listed companies. Despite significant increase in awareness of its potential strategic importance, so far there is little in the approaches of these organizations to suggest that climate change has strongly altered the competitive field or induced radical transformations in the business models of UK carbon-intensive companies. Instead, strategy appears to consist of a series of hedging practices that derive from perceptions of present and likely future market and political trends in relation to climate change.    IKEA’s Global Sourcing Challenge: Indian Rugs and Child Labor (B)   Add   View  17 pp.  Case Author(s): Bartlett, Christopher A.; Dessain, Vincent; Sjoman, Anders Publication Date: 05/03/2006 Revision Date: 11/14/2006 Product Type: Supplement (Field) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 906415 Subjects: Crisis management; Publicity; Developing countries; International management; International operations; Ethics; Social enterprise; Human resources management; Values; Business growth; Outsourcing; Suppliers; Social responsibility Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Supplementary Materials: Case Teaching Note, (907407), 17p, by Christopher A.

Then, in 1994, Marianne Barner, a newly appointed IKEA product manager, is surprised by a Swedish television documentary on the use of child labor by Indian carpet suppliers, including some that supply IKEA's rugs. She immediately implements a strict policy that provides for contract cancellation if any IKEA supplier uses child labor.

Despite an increasing interest among practitioners, there is a lack of understanding about what green retailing is and what the success factors are for its implementation. This article examines the practices of leading green retailers, shedding light on the different coordinator roles of retailers between suppliers and customers in greening their value chains. It identifies three broad dimensions of green retailing-internal-improvement, external-coordination, and supportive-development-and notes the critical capabilities required for firms to achieve success. It also presents a strategy loop with practical steps to help retailing executives incorporate green practices.    Royal Dutch/Shell in Transition (B)   Add   View  9 pp.  Case Author(s): Paine, Lynn Sharp Publication Date: 10/25/1999 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 300040 Geographic Setting: England Number of Employees: 100,000 Gross Revenue: $150 billion revenues Event Year Start: 1997 Event Year End: 1997 Subjects: Shareholder relations; Performance measurement; Environmental protection; Corporate governance; Multinational corporations; Social responsibility Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: This case describes the decisions made by Shell in response to the situation presented in the (A) case.

Nearly all environmental organizations have a similar aim: to stop the degradation of the natural environment. However, the strategies which environmental organizations choose to employ are sometimes starkly different. Compares the models of two dissimilar environmental powerhouses: Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF). Active in 100 countries, WWF works with governments, businesses, other NGOs, and communities to set up conservation programs to preserve natural habitat. In contrast, Greenpeace works to campaign for environmental change against governments and corporations and accepts funding only through individuals and foundation grants. Explores the detailed history and business models of both organizations.

Eric Rey, Arcadia's CEO, faced a strategic inflection point in early September, 2008. The company had a plan to share carbon credits allocated by the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism Executive Board to China, for use of Arcadia's rice varieties, since they enabled farmers to reduce nitrogen fertilizer use, in turn lowering greenhouse gas emissions. But the company's proprietary traits for nitrogen use efficiency, salt tolerance, and water use efficiency also had more conventional paths to market based on licensing deals to large seed companies. Alternatively, Arcadia could acquire a seed company and develop and market its seed directly. A different near-term growth area involved commercializing enriched safflower oil which had undergone several proof of concept tests and for which Rey foresaw a clear market in nutritional supplements and functional foods. The case provides context on the company; describes advances in crops genetics focused to climate change and associated resource issues of fertilizer use, water use, and soil salinity; and poses strategic choices for a start-up company operating at the intersection of business,    Creating An Online Information Marketplace For Giving: The Hewlett Foundation   Add   View  22 pp.  Case Author(s): Chang, Victoria ; Meehan, William F., III Publication Date: 02/15/2008 Product Type: Case Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: SI107 Geographic Setting: California Subjects: Nonprofit organizations; Philanthropies; Social services; Strategy formulation; Strategy Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics    Yaowawit School Kapong   Add   View  13 pp.  Case Author(s): Nuttavuthisit, Krittinee Publication Date: 01/01/2008 Product Type: Case Publisher: Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern Univ.

After the tragedy, the Yaowawit School Kapong was founded with the aims to provide education and living support to needy children. This public welfare boarding school has been completely funded by partners and donors from all over the world via the Children's World Academy Foundation. However, a major question looms: For how long can the school continue to financially rely on charitable help? Because of this challenge, from the beginning the school's projects have been created to offer a practical education for the children and also generate income to cover the costs of running the school. One of these projects is the Yaowawit Lodge, which was developed to serve as the essential income-generating unit and to provide children with practical training in the hospitality business, the most promising job opportunity in this part of Thailand. Because of its unique character as a for-profit unit within a non-profit organization, Yaowawit Lodge must find ways to target niche customers, position itself in the market, and deliver marketing strategies accordingly. Additional challenges it faces include the location, which is far from the popular tourist areas; market perceptions concerning the combination of a primary school and a hotel; and the child labor issue.

One year later, Angelo Mozilo, chairman and chief executive officer of Countrywide Financial, also increased the pace of his stock sales in the months before troubles in the U.S. mortgage lending market led to a similar drop off in Countrywide's share price. Both executives placed their trades through prearranged programs known as 10b5-1 plans. 10b5-1 plans, named after the Securities and Exchange Commission rule which led to their creation, provided a systematic method for corporate executives who were routinely in the possession of material nonpublic information to engage in the sale of company stock. When implemented appropriately, 10b5-1 plans provided a safe haven that shielded these individuals from liability under insider trading laws by demonstrating that certain safeguard conditions were in place at the time the trades were executed. However, the circumstances under which both executives carried out their programs led to an outcry from shareholders that the programs were being abused. Regulators and shareholders were left to decide whether the two men executed their 10b5-1 plans in good faith as required or whether their actions amounted to a sophisticated form of illegal insider trading.    2006 Program-Related Investments Conference Summary   Add   View  26 pp.  Case Author(s): Arrillaga, Laura K.; Spitzer, Joshua Publication Date: 03/30/2006 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: SI85 Industry Setting: Nonprofit Subjects: Charities; Community development; Economic development; Financial management; Nonprofits; Philanthropy; Social enterprise; Social responsibility Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: In January 2006, the PRI Makers Network and Stanford Graduate School of Business's Center for Social Innovation sponsored the first annual Program-Related Investments (PRI) Conference in Palo Alto, California.

Publication Date: 10/01/2009 Product Type: Case Publisher: MIT Sloan Management Review HBS Number: SMR328 Subjects: Corporate strategy; Sustainability Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: MIT Sloan Management Review's first annual Business of Sustainability survey revealed much about what executives are thinking and doing about sustainability-driven concerns right now -as well as what's impeding their attempts both to capture opportunities and defend against threats. The most widely credited leading thinkers at the sustainability and management intersection, though, wanted to explore something else: the ways that many fundamental management and strategy practices will be transformed by the pressures that sustainability issues are already bringing to bear. This article identifies eight significant ways that current management expectations and practices will be affected by growing societal and economic understanding about sustainability. Among them: how labor productivity can be dramatically increased by sustainably designed workplaces; how companies “bump into” sustainability-related choices, even when they don't look for them; how a company's sustainability profile will become a proxy for the organization's overall management quality; how innovation results are improved by pursuit of sustainability-related outcomes; how sustainability efforts within an organization lead to more productive collaboration across typical organizational silos; and how transparency and trustworthiness will become increasingly consequential to competitive success.    A Fall Before Rising: The Story of Jai Jaikumar (A) and (B), Teaching Note   Add     10 pp.  Teaching Note Author(s): Bowen, H.

Now the fourth largest private bank in Brazil, its top leaders are assessing the first four years and wondering what to do next, as competitors adopt similar practices, reducing its competitive advantage, and as it wants to ensure its impact on social change in a country with daunting social problems.

Kasturi Rangan Product Description: Acumen Fund is a global venture capital firm with a dual purpose: it looks for a return on its investments, and it also seeks entrepreneurial solutions to global poverty. This case examines Acumen's new projects in Kenya. The organization's investment committee and its chief investment officer, Brian Trelstad, must decide whether or not to fund two for-profit ventures. The first provides clean and accessible shower and toilet facilities in urban areas, serving a critical need for low-income populations - its financial sustainability, however, is less clear. The second investment is a network of successful private health clinics that primarily serve middle-income populations but which have the potential to reach low-income markets. On what basis should Acumen decide whether or not to invest? What performance metrics should it use? As the investment committee nears a decision, political and social unrest breaks out in Kenya following a highly contested presidential election. Acumen Fund must now also consider the political risks of investing.    Acumen Fund: Measurement in Venture Philanthropy (B)   Add   View  14 pp.  Case Author(s): Ebrahim, Alnoor; Rangan, V. Kasturi Publication Date: 09/16/2009 Revision Date: 05/04/2010 Product Type: Supplement (Field) Publisher: Harvard Business School HBS Number: 310017 Gross Revenue: 17 million Event Year Start: 2008 Subjects: Social enterprise; Philanthropies Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: As Acumen Fund, a global venture philanthropy firm, moves forward with an investment portfolio exceeding $22 million, it runs into two critical measurement problems. First, how should it track the performance of each investment when its interest is not just the bottom line, but also social impact? What should its performance tracking system look like to enable ease of comparison, and to identify problems before they become too significant to fix? The second challenge involves attracting investors. Acumen wants to build the field of “social investing” by creating a new asset class for investors who care about social impact. Doing so will require working with competitors in the field in order to establish benchmarks and standards of measurement. How can Acumen build industry-wide benchmarks when peer organizations are concerned about confidentiality of data? Without such comparisons, how will Acumen attract investors to the field?    Adiana, Inc., and the Development of a Female Sterilization Device   Add   View  19 pp.  Case Author(s): Eaton, Margaret L.; Reddi, Anjali; Sarin, Aradhana Publication Date: 04/01/2004 Product Type: Case (Field) Publisher: Stanford University HBS Number: BME8 Geographic Setting: California Industry Setting: Medical equipment & device industry Subjects: Clinical trials; Ethics; Medical equipment & devices Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: In December 1999, Paul Goeld, president of medical device startup Adiana, Inc., faced several decisions about the company's sole product: a new female sterilization catheter. The catheter had proved to be extremely successful in both animal and preliminary human clinical trials in Mexico. Adiana planned to request approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an investigational device exemption (IDE) to begin full-scale human testing of the device. Before proceeding, however, Goeld had to make several decisions about how the company would treat the women who enrolled in the clinical trials. He needed to decide what would constitute adequate consent for the sterilization study and what responsibility the company would assume in cases where the device failed to prevent pregnancy.    Advanced Energy: Programs for Energy Conservation   Add   View  21 pp.  Case Author(s): Rangan, V.

With renewed effort by activists in 2006 to expand AE's role, there was a possibility of the PBF swelling to $50 to $80 million. Naturally, this put AE at conflict with electric utilities wanting to engage in efficiency programs as part of their overall business offering.    AES Global Values   Add   View  21 pp.  Case Author(s): Paine, Lynn Sharp Publication Date: 05/18/1999 Revision Date: 11/16/2000 Product Type: Case (Field) Product Description: Members of the development team for the AES Corp.'s power plant project in India must decide what plant technology to specify in their application for techno-economic clearance from the government of India's Central Electric Authority. Their choice is between more expensive technology that would enable the plant to meet more demanding U.S. environmental standards or less costly technology that would meet local environmental standards and free up funds for contributions to other needs of communities surrounding the projected plant. At the same time, executives at AES headquarters in Arlington, VA, are considering whether the company's traditional focus on meeting its social responsibility through CO2-offset programs is the best approach to social responsibility as the company expands worldwide. Teaching Purpose: To allow students to examine how a U.S.-based company adapts its business principles and interprets its commitment to social responsibility when it is setting up operations in India.

By 2008, AGRA had assembled a strong leadership team and had funded numerous small projects ranging from seed development to education. However, it needed to secure additional funding from public and private donors, gain the cooperation of governments, and catalyze private markets to achieve its goals.    Amy Biehl Foundation Trust   Add   View  23 pp.  Case Author(s): Dees, J.

However, their plans were challenged by a strike at the Community Bakery, a mission-driven, revenue-generating enterprise connected to ABFT, and financial irregularities at one of their newest programs, the Parent Teacher Pupil Program. Both incidents threatened to undermine Peter and Linda Biehl's philosophy of identifying and supporting leaders from the South African communities in which ABFT operated. Peter and Linda needed to make decisions on each of these incidents quickly, knowing that they had to balance undermining the initiative and leadership in the community with letting the situations escalate beyond their control.

It is composed of four documents: two company cases, a country note, and an industry note. The company cases describe the competitive dynamics between two international telecom companies, Orange and MTN, in the Cameroonian telecom market. Each company case begins with a brief history of the company, followed by a description of the company's global strategy and of its entry into Cameroon. It goes on to describe the competitive dynamics in Cameroon from the company's perspective, and, particularly, the moves and counter-moves undertaken by each competitor to gain market share. Finally, the case describes the company's Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, globally and in Cameroon. The case series also includes two background notes. The first note describes the evolution and the basic technical characteristics of the cell phone industry. The second note provides an introduction to the geography, history, and economy of Cameroon, with a particular focus on the socio-economic conditions of the country's population. Taken together, this case series allows a discussion of competition at the Base of the Pyramid, including both business and ethical aspects.

Her roommate makes her promise to keep this information confidential because the news is not to be disclosed to the market for several days. The protaganist knows, however, that Universal's capital finance group is collaborating with her own investment bank on a leveraged buyout deal and that Universal's withdrawal could have potentially disastrous ramifications for the deal if her own investment bank is not notified immediately. She must decide whether to break her promise to her friend or to remain silent and expose her own company to great risk. Teaching Purpose: To give students a chance to think about ethical dilemmas they are likely to face in the business world. In particular, this case poses the questions: To what extent can we separate our private lives from our business responsibilities? How does one reconcile personal loyalty with company loyalty when the two are in conflict?

Some of these projects took place in developing countries and in rainforests and other endangered ecosystems. In 2000, the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) launched its Global Finance Campaign with Citigroup as the target. The goal was to convince Citigroup, and eventually all lenders, to stop financing destructive activities in endangered ecosystems. The campaign began in early April 2000 when RAN wrote to Citigroup, urging it to address its role in financing the destruction of the world's remaining old growth forests and the acceleration of climate change. Shortly thereafter, at Citigroup's annual meeting, RAN campaigners questioned the board of directors and CEO Sandy Weill in front of an audience of shareholders. Citigroup agreed to meet with RAN immediately following the annual meeting. For the next two years, Citigroup and RAN held regular meetings, while RAN continued its protest activities. Mike Brune, executive director of RAN, believed that Citigroup was stalling--the meetings were discussions, not negotiations.

Eric Rey, Arcadia's CEO, faced a strategic inflection point in early September, 2008. The company had a plan to share carbon credits allocated by the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism Executive Board to China, for use of Arcadia's rice varieties, since they enabled farmers to reduce nitrogen fertilizer use, in turn lowering greenhouse gas emissions. But the company's proprietary traits for nitrogen use efficiency, salt tolerance, and water use efficiency also had more conventional paths to market based on licensing deals to large seed companies. Alternatively, Arcadia could acquire a seed company and develop and market its seed directly. A different near-term growth area involved commercializing enriched safflower oil which had undergone several proof of concept tests and for which Rey foresaw a clear market in nutritional supplements and functional foods.

The young artists, working in six different studios, make and sell the art they produce. AFH was started in 1990 by local artist Susan Rodgerson and six middle school students in a Boston garage studio; in 1993 they were able to expand and move to two floors of a wharf-area warehouse. At the time of the case, Rodgerson, the executive director, is weighing issues of expansion, staff turnover, and a capital campaign to raise money to secure a building (the warehouse lease runs out in 2001). The case showcases the challenges that face many small nonprofit organizations, and outlines some of the particular characteristics that describe nonprofit organizations that also have an entrepreneurial arm.

What set the company apart in the marketplace, and was an integral part of the Banyan Tree brand, was its strong commitment to protecting the environment, both physical and human, driven by its leaders' passionate belief in behaving ethically and responsibly. The company had major plans for expansion in Asia and around the world. These expansion plans required financing, and one obvious option was to take the company public through an IPO. But KP had his doubts about an IPO. Would investors feel as passionately as he did about the company's pro-environment values and initiatives? Or would he and his managers have to compromise their values to deliver acceptable returns to the company's shareholders? In the current economic climate in Asia and globally, was it the right time to go public?

Gregory; Remey, Christine C. Publication Date: 01/15/1993 Revision Date: 11/24/1997 Product Type: Case (Field) Product Description: In 1992, the Federal Reserve released a study of mortgage lending patterns in Boston. It concluded that even when credit factors were taken into account, black and Hispanic applicants experienced higher rejection rates. Richard Pollard, chairman of BayBank Boston, had to decide how to respond. Over the past three years he had led efforts in BayBank and the Massachusetts Bankers Association to address community concerns raised by earlier, less conclusive studies. Some innovative programs had been established through the association. The new study raised questions about whether existing programs would be adequate to address the problem. Teaching Purpose: Presents students with the challenge of responding constructively to social criticism. They must evaluate the charges and recommend a course of action that reflects ethical considerations, political realities, BayBank's business strategy, and the role of the industry association.

The case illustrates the importance of accurate information and open channels of communication to ensure sound decision making by top management. Also illustrates how emphasis on financial objectives and designated goals may obscure important ethical and legal considerations. May be used to discuss organizational barriers to information flow, approaches to decision making, and the role of the FDA and other U.S. regulatory officials in ensuring food purity.

They had founded the Beginning with Children Foundation (BWCF) in 1989 as a public foundation to support the school. Alternative public schools did not exist when the Reichs were planning the educational and business model for their school. This case provides the background for the challenges the foundation faced in its first eight years and then opens for discussion what the new strategic direction might be for the foundation after charter legislation passed in 1998 and the Reichs decided to convert the school to an independent charter. The foundation considered: 1) becoming an advocacy organization for charter schools and public school reform, 2) creating new charter schools by replicating the model, 3) converting to a national policy think tank to analyze accumulated data and publish studies, 4) becoming an educational consulting firm to provide strategic management and policy services to “client” schools, and 5) applying their educational model to turn around troubled schools.

The case documents the implementation of a turnaround plan for financially ailing Braniff International. This includes a new marketing and operations strategy, concessions from labor, changes in management, and a financial restructuring. The narrative describes the worsening financial condition of the company and the choices made by the CEO and CFO to raise cash and avoid filing. These choices and events led to progressively limited options. It was decided that attempting to reorganize under Chapter XI of the Bankruptcy Reform Act was preferable to being placed into involuntary bankruptcy under Chapter VII. This required keeping preparations secret and eventually filing by surprise.

Rather than continuing to integrate the work into the existing organization, Bain created the Bridge Group, a nonprofit consulting entity that could draw upon the resources of Bain, maintain an independent practice and identity, and raise philanthropic capital. The CEO, Jeffrey Bradach, has taken a leave of absence from his position as professor at Harvard Business School to get the organization up and running. Success during the first year of operations has been beyond expectation, but the organization is facing a series of complex challenges if it is to achieve its ultimate goal of high impact to the nonprofit sector.

Frequently, these transactions appear to be above or beyond the market. Orphaned children are never "sold" -- they're "matched" with their "forever families." Eggs are "donated," and surrogate mothers offer their services to help the infertile. Certainly, the rhetoric that surrounds these transactions has little to do with markets or profits. Quite possibly, the people who undertake them want only to help. But neither the rhetoric nor the motive can change the underlying activity. When parents buy eggs or sperm, contract with surrogates, or choose a child to adopt or an embryo to implant, they are doing business. Examines the workings of the baby trade, exploring a realm where technology currently runs far faster than rules. Teaching Purpose: To expose students to the commercial, political, and ethical implications of the baby trade.

Such mergers create significant opportunities for creating both business value and substantially expanded social value, but they also pose unusually difficult challenges because the merging entities are often strikingly different in philosophy and operating styles as well as in scale. This article examines three examples — Ben and Jerry's acquisition by Unilever, Stonyfield Farm by Groupe Danone, and Tom's of Maine by Colgate — to ascertain what is distinctive about the merger process and to analyze the elements critical to success. The article offers suggestions on how other companies considering similar arrangements might best manage the process of courtship, developing agreements, and executing effectively within the newly merged entities.

Two arguments drive the article, namely that NASCAR (1) may not be able to stop cheating particularly within the current context, and (2) might not want or be motivated to stop cheating. Obstacles complicating NASCAR's efforts to stop cheating include the long-standing culture of unethical behavior within stock car racing, and the inconsistent imposition of punishments by NASCAR which drivers and race teams perceive as favoritism and unfair treatment. Yellow flags that raise caution include pressure from unwavering fans, and the friction between innovation and maintaining parity among teams. Proposed solutions include changing the culture within the NASCAR community, as well as developing ethical role models, both of which require major action by NASCAR's top managers to signal the importance of ethical behavior. Other key stakeholders such as sponsors and fans must create incentives and rewards for ethical behavior, and consider reducing or ending support for drivers and teams that engage in unethical conduct. Our analysis and recommendations have broad applications because NASCAR is an archetype of a large organization attempting to reduce cheating and unethical behavior.    Cherkizovsky Group (A)   Add   View  24 pp.  Case Paine, Lynn Sharp; Hogan, Harold F., Jr. Describes the transformation of a formerly state-owned meat processing plant in Russia into a privately-owned and operated food processing conglomerate under Russia's economic reforms of the 1990s.

Gregory Dees, Brian Vannoni Product Description: In May 2000, Hudi Podolsky assumed the position of executive director of the Coalition of Essential Schools (CES) and needed to act quickly. CES was an early educational reform organization dedicated to widespread implementation of certain fundamental educational principles in primary and secondary schools in the United States. The main problem was that traditional sources of funding (primarily foundations) were increasingly less willing to support CES. Podolsky needed to determine a new and sustainable fundraising strategy and had asked Stanford's Alumni Consulting Team (ACT) to help do it. This case is narrated from ACT's perspective, which allows deeper questioning of organizational issues and capabilities as well as Podolsky's ability to turn CES around. There are significant challenges around organizational structure, value proposition, marketing, and operating procedures as well as fundraising. Teaching Purpose: To present a compelling example of the concepts, practices, and challenges of social entrepreneurship. To identify a new fundraising strategy that would be better suited to the environment in which CES found itself (students may be asked to develop alternative marketing and operating tactics   Add     5 pp.  Teaching Note For use with SI02 HBS Number: SI02T Subjects: Education; Entrepreneurial management; Nonprofit marketing; Nonprofit organizations; Organizational management; Organizational structure    Community Wealth Ventures, Inc.   Add   View  22 pp.  Case Austin, James E.; Pearson, Meredith D.

While the terms of the deal are being worked out, he realizes Linda has taken advantage of the Poseidon executives' unfamiliarity with complex financial structures to build an outrageously high profit margin into the deal. When the executives become suspicious of the prices FirstAmerica is quoting, Linda asks the protoganist to send them an intentionally misleading fax so that the deal will not be held up. Holding the personal belief that “before a blind man you shall not put a stumpling block,” he does not know if he can bring himself to send the information.

Issues with three customers are described. All were a significant portion of the EMS firm's overall business. In one, a customer misled the EMS firm about its order receipts, leading to the EMS firm acquiring a substantial excess inventory that the customer was contractually required to pay for. The customer threatened to withdraw its future business if forced to make the payment. A second customer, facing a profit shortfall, demanded a payment for a “warranty problem.” The EMS firm faced difficulties with a third customer related to a small R&D firm that it purchased at the customer's request, in order to serve the customer's engineering needs.    Control Data Corporation and the Urban Crisis   Add   View  33 pp.  Case Author(s): Nicholas, Tom; Singleton, Laura G.

For BHP Billiton, the world's second largest mining company, its Tintaya copper mine in Peru has long been a source of intense conflict. The mine — which was owned and managed first by the Peruvian state, and later by BHP Billiton — stands on land expropriated from local subsistence farmers. In 2000, to contest this loss of land, mining-related environmental degradation, and allegations of human rights abuses, a coalition of five indigenous communities forged an alliance with a group of domestic and international NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) to build their case against BHP Billiton and pursue it directly with the company's Australian headquarters. The outcome of these efforts was the inception of a unique corporate-community negotiation process known as the Tintaya Dialogue Table. In December 2004, after three years of negotiation, BHP Billiton and the five communities signed an agreement compensating families for lost land and livelihoods, and establishing a local environmental monitoring team and community development fund. However, just as the company resolves one conflict, another group of local stakeholders e    Corruption in Germany   Add   View  25 pp.  Case Author(s): Abdelal, Rawi; Di Tella, Rafael; Schlefer, Jonathan Publication Date: 07/30/2008 Product Type: Case (Library) HBS Number: 709006 Geographic Setting: Germany Industry Setting: Automotive industry; Chemicals Number of Employees: 3 large firms Event Year Start: 1990 Event Year End: 2008 Subjects: Conflicts of interest; Corruption; Crisis management; Cross cultural relations; Engineering; Ethics; Global business; Managers Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: Why do managers become corrupt? Does corruption ever pay? When do friendly relations cross into bribery? How can CEOs manage and prevent outbreaks of corruption? These and other questions are raised by three short case studies of corruption in Germany: at the global engineering firm Siemens, the automaker VW, and the chemical giant BASF. While German law not only permitted overseas bribery but even made it tax deductible until 1999, it was not welcomed in some nations where Siemens did business such as the United States — or in Germany after 2000 — but old practices continued. Cooperative management-labor relations, often seen as key to the post-World War II German industrial powerhouse, went sour at VW, as a top manager secured key concessions by paying for union leaders' lavish foreign travel and visits to prostitutes. After vitamin prices sagged in the late 1980s, BASF and the Swiss chemical firm Hoffmann-La Roche plotted a global cartel that lasted a decade and raised the prices of many vitamins 50 percent or more. In the end, even after record criminal fines and jail time for some executives, some observers argued, such practices were likely to recur.    Credit Where Credit is Due: The Latino Community Credit Union   Add   View  12 pp.  Case Author(s): Fairchild, Gregory; Smith, Robert N.; Zienta, Ellen Publication Date: 12/31/2008 Product Type: Case (Field) HBS Number: UV1044 Geographic Setting: United States Industry Setting: Banking industry; Credit card; Credit industry; Insurance industry Subjects: Diversity; Finance; Target markets Academic Discipline: Social enterprise & ethics Product Description: Five years after its launch, the Latino Community Credit Union had made remarkable progress, garnering 40,000 members and $22 million in assets. More extraordinary was the LCCU's customer base: Hispanic immigrants, many of them undocumented. The credit union's next bold step was to consider introducing credit cards for their customers. The question was how to make it work.    Crisis and Response: Sexual Abuse Allegations in the Boston Archdiocese (A)   Add   View  12 pp.  Case Author(s): Nanda, Ashish Publication Date: 01/08/2004 Revision Date: 04/01/2004 Product Type: Case (Library) Product Description: Describes how the Boston archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church handled allegations of clergy sexual abuse during the 1990s.

Also looks at rewards and punishments and their influence on behavior. Susan is a student employee at a campus snack bar who is caught between a wish to do what she thinks is right -- take steps to stop food being taken off the premises that hasn't been paid for -- and fear of negative consequences if she takes such action. She would also like to see students work harder, finish what is assigned to them on the night shift, and be punished for stealing from the cash register. Almost all students have faced peer pressure to do things that violate their value systems. Helps students to understand why they feel so much ambivalence, sometimes going along and sometimes drawing a line beyond which they will not go. Some issues are ethical, others involve criminal behavior. Issues include sexual permissiveness and experimentation, drug use and dealing, cheating, trespassing, and stealing. Also raises questions of a company's ethics and responsibility for creating, or allowing, a climate that tolerates at best and encourages at worst illegal, criminal, or unethical behavior. Teaching Purpose: To provide an opportunity to explore ethics and its definition.

The equities analysts of Merrill Lynch and other Wall Street firms were charged with objectively advising retail investors whether to buy or sell publicly traded stock. The analysts had rated some stock a strong buy, while at the same time disparaging it in Internet emails as “a piece of junk” or a “powder keg.” Spitzer concluded that the analysts sometimes issued such buy ratings on stock of companies because of a conflict of interest: the Wall Street firms the analysts worked for were making handsome fees for underwriting the companies' stock offerings and providing other services. The usual procedure when an enforcement agency such as the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) discovered such a situation would be to complete its investigation and negotiate a resolution privately with the financial firm. If it could not resolve the matter, the agency would formally file suit against the firm in court. This option was open to Spitzer, but the 1921 New York statue gave him an alternative. Even before filing suit in court — and while continuing to investigate the firm further — he could broadcast his findings to warn the public and brand the firm with wrongdoing. This case investigates the decision Spitzer made, and its long-term implic    Enron Collapse   Add   View  26 pp.  Case Author(s): Hamilton, Stewart; Francis, Inna Publication Date: 05/03/2003 Product Type: Case (Pub Mat) Publisher: IMD -- International Institute for Management Development Product Description: Charts the collapse of Enron and examines the role of various parties, including senior management, the board, and the auditors.
