There is no common understanding of the role of business in society.
The Friedman Approach
•The social responsibility of business is to increase its profits.
• In other words, “the business of
business is business.”
Emerging Thinking
“Business is in a unique position to play a leading role in helping to shape the global agenda, and can provide government and civil society with the tools and capabilities to better adapt.”
Jonathan Schmidt, Director, Global Agenda, World Economic Forum, WEF, Annual Meeting, Jan. 2006

Corruption as a Key Constraint to the Private Sector, by Region
24Djordjija Petkoski,Head of Business, Competitiveness, & DevelopmentWorld Bank Institute
24
• Businesses must go beyond: - the generalized debate and simplified messages. - the "compliance game" and PR. - defuse unfocused and un-integrated CSR programs.
• Businesses must define the boundaries of their social and environmental impact.
• Businesses must connect CSR to corporate strategy.
• Businesses must prioritize demands for CSR and philanthropic giving.
•Businesses must deal with "activist organizations" and making them part of the solution.
Challenges to Businesses
25Djordjija Petkoski,Head of Business, Competitiveness, & DevelopmentWorld Bank Institute
25
• Businesses must move from reactive behavior to strategic measures.

A New Paradigm: Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships
27Djordjija Petkoski,Head of Business, Competitiveness, & DevelopmentWorld Bank Institute
27
A New Paradigm
"A multi-dimensional approach...is required to address [development] problems...the private sector is the most important engine of development, but it's also clear that the private sector can't do it on its own. There are critical things that have to be done by the public sector and that's the principal area where the World Bank interacts... governments and donors need to include the business community in policymaking decisions and use [their] expertise and experience in making the right policy choices for a good business environment".
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz,
Remarks at the Corporate Council on Africa
June 23, 2005.
28Djordjija Petkoski,Head of Business, Competitiveness, & DevelopmentWorld Bank Institute

• Economic, environmental, and social issues are becoming too complex and the resources and competencies needed to address them too dispersed for one sector to have all the solutions.
• There is a growing expectation that the private sector can and will play a role in helping to address these challenges.
• The critical issue for all stakeholders is to define appropriate and realistic boundaries.
• Common interests and values.
The Need for Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships
29Djordjija Petkoski,Head of Business, Competitiveness, & DevelopmentWorld Bank Institute

Incentives for the Private Sector
• Investing in a stable and secure environment in which to do business contributes to a healthy and competent workforce, prosperous consumers, a more attractive investment climate, and increased competitiveness.
• Managing the direct costs and risks of doing business such as environmental degradation, climate change, disease, and ethnic conflict can reduce costs, improve risk and reputation management, improve resource efficiency and enhance productivity.
• Contributing to sustainable development and being responsible can lead to new business opportunities through innovation, value creation and competitiveness.

The Importance of Leadership
47Djordjija Petkoski,Head of Business, Competitiveness, & DevelopmentWorld Bank Institute

• Do we have the right questions?
• Old questions still around in different surroundings• New questions not yet formulated articulately • Need to make them as specific as possible
• How about the answers?
• Do NOT over-focus on definite or over generalized answers• Dynamic process of continuously addressing the question• Build capacity for dealing with the questions through partnerships
between government, business, civil society organizations, international financial institutions and development agencies
Instead of Conclusions…
