Abstract
This article offers a fundamental critique of Michael Porter’s and Marc Kramer’s “Creating Shared Value” (CSV) concept. First, the authors summarise the positive and negative criticism which CSV has received since 2011. They then show that CSV falls short of a modern understanding of corporate responsibility which is centred on more adequate ideas about the relationship between business and society. The article concludes with critical comments on the role of scholars in their interaction with practitioners.
This article is based on our contribution „Creating Shared Value: Eine Grundsatzkritik“ (2015), published in the Zeitschrift für Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik (zfwu) 16 (2): 219–230.
