  • Using CSR As a Key Element for Achieving Competitive Advantage
    025-0181 Moral has no seasons: Using CSR as a key element for achieving competitive advantage. Marina Mattera Department of Economics and International Relations Universidad Europea de Madrid, C/Tajo, s/n. 28670-Villaviciosa de Odon-(Madrid) Spain POMS 23rd Annual Conference Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. April 20 to April 23, 2011 Abstract: Firms' new challenges in the 21st century involve innovation and society's request for a more responsible business model. Based on bounded rationality conditions and the important role of externalities, it is analyzed through a case study whether corporate social responsibility strategies are essential for companies to achieve sustainable competitive advantages. Key words: Sustainable Development; Sustainable Management; Corporate Social Responsability; Open Innovation models. 1. Introduction Efforts towards generating sustainable growth and steady benefits have owned its accurate planning to the competitive advantage owned by the company. In several studies, it has been demonstrated that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can improve a firm’s performance by enhancing the prestige and perception from consumers’ perspective (competitive advantage). However, it has also been denoted that solid inter-agents relationships are enhanced when they have consolidated CSR actions between them. New models for conducting business emerge, and together with them new difficulties. Known as “open innovation” (OI) models, the aforementioned collaborations between organizations have also gained a purely international character. This study aims to analyze those new interactions and relationships between firms, which of them succeed and the role corporate social responsibility plays in such a context. Taking into account the complex level of the existing interrelationship between agents and countries where they operate, it becomes difficult to accurately depict the company’s culture, its values, and beliefs; as shown in Figure 1.

  • The German Bundesrat
    THE GERMAN BUNDESRAT Last updated on 04/05/2021 http://www.europarl.europa.eu/relnatparl [email protected] Photo credits: German Bundesrat 1. AT A GLANCE The German Basic Law stipulates clearly that "the Federal Republic of Germany is a democratic and social federal state" and that "except as otherwise provided or permitted by this Basic Law, the exercise of state powers and the discharge of state functions is a matter for the Länder". The Bundesrat has a total of 69 full Members and the same number of votes. The Bundesrat is composed of Members of Länder governments and not of directly elected Members. Since elections in the 16 German Länder take place at different times, the political composition and the majority in the Bundesrat often changes. It is in fact the executive power of the Länder, which is represented in the Bundesrat. The Länder governments do not need a formal parliamentary mandate for their voting behaviour for individual acts in the Bundesrat. 2.

  • The Green Party of Germany: Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen [PDF]
    THE GREEN PARTY OF GERMANY BÜNDNIS 90 / DIE GRÜNEN 1. Historical Context and democratic structure of Germany The political structures that existed before a united German state emerged were dominated by relatively small political entities, which enjoyed varying degrees of political autonomy. The Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germany) is formally only 70 years old. Unsurprisingly, this history of federalism is represented in the Bundesrepublik as well. Today we have 16 federal states. This decentralization is one of the most important parts of our democracy. Berlin, as the capital, was and is the best symbol of Germany’s colourful past. West Berlin’s location deep within the territory of Eastern Germany made it an island of the Bundesrepublik (Western Germany). West Berlin has had a very special phase after WWII that was deeply intertwined with the Cold War. With the end of the Cold War, the two German states the German Democratic Republic or GDR (East Germany) and Bundesrepublik finally became a united state again. Today, Berlin with its 3.6 million inhabitants, is Germany’s biggest city, its capital and the place to be for culture, arts, lifestyle, politics and science. Germany’s democratic system is a federal parliamentary republic with two chambers: the Bundestag (Germany’s parliament) and the Bundesrat (the representative body of the federal states). Germany’s political system is essentially a multi-party system, which includes a 5% threshold (parties representing recognised national minorities, for example Danes, Frisians, Sorbs and Romani people are exempt from the 5% threshold, but normally only run in state elections).
