"Culture, religion, politics, environment, ethics, are all going to interpenetrate one another to an extent never before seen, and they will, in turn, penetrate business in all sorts of strange new
ways…“ Riding the third wave: A conversation with Alvin
Toffler
• Instead of the single "bottom line" on which most executives have been taught to fixate
• the third wave corporation requires multiple bottom lines– • social, environmental,
informational, political, and ethical bottom lines-- all of them interconnected."

Initially- Consumer & Eco Activists- generally came from niche segment of society
Accordingly Green Marketing Impact .. Early on –Not so much-
41% of consumers - don’t buy green products because fear products won’t work as well
Only 29% of shoppers have recently bought a product because it was “green”

… circa 2000…
70% of baby food buyers preferred convenience of plastic to glass jars
•recycling rate of plastic soda bottles was ~1/3 of 1995 rate ….•single serve bottles on shelves - more then doubled to 18 billion
Phillips billed it’s energy-saving bulbs as “EarthLight” & sales never materialized
Phillips repackaged & relaunched as convenient, seven year Marathon bulbs
Sales went up 12% ….

BENTONVILLE, Ark., Oct. 24,2005 - Wal-Mart's chief executive announced a set of sweeping, specific environmental goals
“Mr. Scott's announcement signals that the nation's largest retailer is joining the nation's largest manufacturer, General Electric, in pursuing policies that set specific goals for environmental performance, while advertising those goals to shareholders and customers and the public as strategic business decisions.”

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – has become part of the bottom line…

Most Important Thing a Company Can Do to Be Seen as Socially Responsible
“
70% of global investment managers surveyed believe that integrating environmental, social and governance issues into analysis will become mainstream in 3-10 years” --
Mercer Consulting, 2005
The only business of business is business--Milton Friedman
…to the extent that customers express satisfaction in a product or a service, in continued purchases, the producer serves the "public interest."
A successful business satisfies enough customers at a high enough price so as to return a profit to those who have invested in the entrepreneurial activity…

Ford’s Model T Mentality “Business is not
designed/staffed/equipped for addressing social issues
The over-riding responsibility of business is to maximise the profits of its owners & shareholders
The advancement of the Social welfare – best handled by gov’t, church & charitable institutions”

“--- want max profit for shareholders
…with honesty in business practices,…safety in the workplace,
..and also serve larger environmental & social issues.”
Today's Managers must balance the bottom-line against the ideals –
Treat customers well... …but try not to let customer service cut too deeply into profit margins
Create a diverse workforce... …but hire people from most
prestigious & expensive universities
Develop codes of ethics... …even if the corporate culture mainly rewards those who “make their numbers”
Go global ... …but maintain the cultural values of the home office
The “Paradoxes” of Business Today
Play by the rules...
…but think outside the box.
The “Paradoxes” of Business TodayNetwork, network, network...
Empower employees...…but monitor ‘em carefully because you’re legally liable for their behaviors
…but beware the Old Boys’ Club that can breed corruption
“Ethical issues in business have become more complicated because of:
Business Ethics; The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001.
the global & diversified nature of many large corporations……and because of the complexity of government regulations …”

informal political institutions
Today - No Shortage of Laws & Codes, Controlling Business & Marketing Practices
Rise of the Bureaucrats
Nor – No Shortage of Agencies, Commissions & Administrations to Enforce those Laws, Codes, Guidelines
The European Eco-label
Regulation Cradle to Grave
2006- The European Union has passed "end-of-life" legislation, requiring auto makers to recycle or reuse at least 80% of their old cars.
Computers & electrical gear were already covered
And its only going to get worsehas gotten
As we transform to a global economy---There’s Emerging consensus
that we need some global governance to avoid chaotic & divergent national & local regulation.

GLOBALIZATION Brand Preference is
Superficial
One can pay too much attention the kinds of consumer goods that people buy.
That's a superficial aspect of culture
GLOBALIZATION Example: Cola Turka
Multinational corporations don’t always get their way
Local cultures respond on their own terms
GLOBALIZATION
Yet- Regardless of the citizens’ reaction to “foreign” products
Globalization is slowly but surely eroding the preeminence of the nation-state…
The implications of globalization for the future of the nation-state…
From Below: -- mounting sectarian pressures –
From Above: global communications, global economy, worldwide environmental repercussions
From Within: Multi/Trans-nationals own agendas- loyal to themselves,
play countries against each other
From W/out: Non-governmental Organizations
The Nation State – The Nation State – pressured from all sidespressured from all sides
Circumstances differ from country to country…
but what does not differ is the revolutionary challenge posed by the 3rd Wave…
…to obsolete 2nd Wave institutions –
…too slow to keep up w/ the pace of change &... to cope w/ new levels of social & political diversity.
"As we race into the Third Wave era, those of us who want to expand human freedom will not be able to do so by simply defending our existing institutions.
We shall -- like America's founding parents two centuries ago -- have to invent new ones."
“In all likelihood it will require the radical overhaul –or even scraping-of:
Congress, Politburos, Houses of Common & Lords, Bundastags, Diets…
The giant ministries and entrenched civil service… and systems—
In short all the unwieldy & unworkable apparatus of supposedly representative governments”…
2nd WavePowerSphere~Collapse
"As the Second Wave produced a mass society, the Third Wave de-massifies us,………. moving the entire social system to a much higher level of diversity & complexity.
This revolutionary process, much like the biological differentiation that occurs in evolution, helps explain one of today's most noted political phenomena - the collapse of consensus."
Toffler, The Third Wave, p. 408
Toffler, The Third Wave, p. 410
the collapse of consensus
In 2nd Wave society a political leader could glue together half a dozen major blocs, as Roosevelt did in 1932, …..& expect the resulting coalition to remain locked in position for many years.
Toffler, The Third Wave, p. 410
the collapse of consensus
Today it is necessary to plug together hundreds, even thousands, of tiny, short-lived special interest groups… that cleave together just long enough to elect a president, then break apart again the day after the election, leaving him without a base of support for his programs
In a de-massified society, we not only lack national purpose, we also lack regional, statewide, or
city-wide purpose. ...
In a mass industrial society, when people and their needs were fairly uniform and basic, consensus was an attainable goal.
What, then, happens to the very notion of 'representative
democracy?'
The elected representative cannot represent the
general will for the simple reason that
there is none!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/2020/0,15047,1299021,00.html
“The onward march of individualism - either through choice or fate - is still probably
the major force shaping our world”
The central question is: Will the slow collapse of institutions that have been vehicles for our
shared identity mean collapse of identity itself?
