- W1870359459 abstract "For years, the business sector was held up as an example for government organizations. Businesses work much more efficiently and are much more effective. This trend resulted in a profusion of privatization operations, as well as pressure on governments to deregulate. Over the last few years, however, the image of trade and industry has suffered serious damage. This was already an issue during the mid-’90s, with Greenpeace’s criticism of the sinking of the Brent Spar, and snowballed as a result of the affairs concerning Enron, Ahold and Parmalat as well as the discussion of top salaries. All these debates have seriously lowered the level of esteem for the business world. A new aspect is the role of independent supervisory organizations that publicly correct those companies. Also striking is the changed role of what was traditionally designated as the social centerfield. Social organizations openly call businesses to account for their social impact. Other social organizations focus, on the other hand, on seeking partnerships with companies in order to realize social goals together. We are seeing considerable shifts, whereby the changing position of businesses plays a central role. Twenty years ago, it was unthinkable that anyone would speak of the human-rights policy of a company. That was considered an issue for governments. What’s going on? First of all, we shall discuss three examples of social debates in which businesses play a crucial role. There is talk of a structural problem for businesses that lies at the basis and, in fact, for society as a whole." @default.
