  • Analysis of Sainsbury's Collaboration with Comic Relief
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Leeds Beckett Repository The Communication of Corporate-NGO Partnerships: Analysis of Sainsbury’s Collaboration with Comic Relief Lynn Rohwer Martina Topić Leeds Beckett University Leeds Business School Rose Bowl, Portland Crescent Leeds, LS1 3HB United Kingdom Abstract This study focuses on CSR communication using the example of Corporate-NGO partnership between British supermarket chain Sainsbury’s and Comic Relief. Questionnaires were distributed to 40 participants asking them about their consumer behaviour and opinion on partnerships. Using thematic analysis, two main themes have been identified in the data set: some consumers are sceptical towards cross sector partnerships because they assume selfish reasons behind the collaboration and view them as corporate PR tool. On the other hand, the majority of consumers evaluate Corporate-NGO Partnerships as appropriate and a gain for society at large. The analysis showed that Sainsbury’s customers know about the partnership with Comic Relief while non-customers lack awareness, and that the most successful means of communication of partnerships is the supermarket promotion. Key words: corporations, partnerships, supermarket, Sainsbury’s, Comic Relief Introduction The influence of business in society has grown over time. However, there has been a shift in society’s expectations towards business operations due to changing environmental and societal settings. In times of digital communications, consumers and other stakeholders are increasingly aware and demand a more socially responsible approach from corporations. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) meets these growing expectations and encourages businesses to modify their approaches (Tench et al., 2014).

  • Human Rights: a New Frame for UK Public Engagement in Global Poverty
    University of Vienna European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2014/2015 Human Rights: A New Frame for UK Public Engagement in Global Poverty A critical analysis of Oxfam GB and Comic Relief’s engagement with human rights Author: Ailsa Griffith Supervisor: Walter Schicho ABSTRACT This thesis considers individual responsibility for the promotion of human rights and the potential of citizens to effect change within the global structures that cause poverty to persist. In reaction to the limited understanding of human rights and the low levels of engagement in global poverty among the UK public, critical analysis of Oxfam and Comic Relief’s engagement with human rights was undertaken in order to ascertain what information is currently available to the UK public. The findings revealed divergent approaches, and subsequent consideration of values and frames theory found Oxfam’s approach encouraged engagement with global poverty, whilst Comic Relief’s approach encouraged values not congruent for public re-engagement in global poverty. Consequently the potential of human rights as a frame to increase UK public engagement with global poverty was proposed. This thesis further highlights the need for a cohesive approach across the third sector in order to create a shift in frames, which will allow for greater future engagement of the UK public in global poverty. i ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am especially grateful to my supervisor Walter Schicho, whose patience and kindness coupled with his knowledge and advice has been an invaluable guide for this work. Special thanks To Prof. Dr. Manfred Nowak, Marijana Grandits and the Vienna Masters of Human Rights for their warm welcome to Vienna and continued support.
