[Dialogue] Question about the social process triangles . . .

[Clarence Mann]

   RE: Question about the social process triangles . . .

The chapter on "Corporate Social Responsibility" in* Transforming the Legacy
*, Vol. II (2009) provides a four-step methodology (via juxtaposing the
social process and corporate process triangles) for* performing a CSR**
corporate** audit*, which any company could use to align its operations
more effectively with country social needs/issues.

Working with a representative group of company personnel via a once-a-week
workshop over a 2-3 month period, I think anyone trained in ICA workshop
methods could design and facilitate a company CSR audit and assist
thecompany to better align the
dynamics of its operations, so as to generate positive effects on the
immediate community and society-at-large without substantial costs.  For
instance, employing and training local talent and helping to organize and
work with local organizations on various issues can be of great value to a
community and its environment.   Clancy

Hello Jim.

Have this friend look for Clancy Mann's book, Borderless Business:

Managing the Far-Flung Enterprise (Mann & Goetz, Westport, Conn., Praeger
Publishing, 2006) chapter 7 in which he lays out the Social Process
Triangle as a basis for Managing Country Risk. Clancy's chapter in Bending
History II is also a good "promotion of its use."

I currently teach a graduate business course through University of Maryland
University College in which the SPT is presented and used as a basic method
for analyzing a country. You could say that I use it at least weekly, and
have for the past 10 years. Roughly 350 students have taken the course and
they generally love it as a comprehensive tool for analyzing a country's
business environment. It's far better than Porter's Diamond, which is the
standard business method for the purpose.
