Outerwall And Beyond: Ecoatm, Looking Ahead, Nathan Collins, Tara Ghassemika, Noah Sawuch, Emmeline Vu

MICCSR Presentations

In 2013, Outerwall (parent company of Coinstar and RedBox) acquired ecoATM, an automated e-waste recycling station. As a disruptive technology in the e-recycling business, ecoATM has demonstrated significant potential for triple-bottom-line success. Outerwall has struggled with negative press related to law-enforcement belief that these kiosks are “a motivator for the criminal element.” This CSR mini-case provides students an opportunity to work creatively to solve a public relations and perception problem in order to fully realize a company’s full potential for positive social, environmental and economic impact.

Giving students and opportunity to develop strategies and tactics that respond to a real-world public relations issue, this case also lets students explore the CSR issues inherent in a firm’s supply chain. Although trying to do the “right thing” Victoria’s Secret got caught up in the certification dilemma that many firms face.
