The business environment today is characterized by strong competitive pressures; therefore most companies focus their efforts in maintaining a satisfied customer base. There is a full coherence between management and marketing theorists on the importance of service quality as a key to business success.Companies which produce high quality service also have higher economic returns than their competitors, who are not so oriented services.This is particularly true in financial services where deregulation has created an environment with multiple choices for bank costumers, in meeting their financial needs. In response to this, many financial institutions are focusing their strategies to increase customer …

UVM Libraries Conference Day
This project is a work-in-progress exploring collaborative preservation opportunities for libraries and current digital-content creators in Vermont. Legacy retention partnerships are waning with the print industry, and new independent creators are discovering the need to self-archive, develop new alliances, or risk eventual loss of their work. Cooperation is in everyone's best interests, in that libraries can advise on best curation practices for access and interoperability; creators can keep libraries up-to-date technologically; the public benefits from access to more digital-only work; and the bridges between print and digital records are maintained. This presentation is a narrative of the project's origins up …

Informative Advertising And The Global Csr Initiatives, Shawn Pope
Informative Advertising And The Global Csr Initiatives, Shawn Pope
Academic Conference on Good Business
Both academics and the general public suspect a relationship between advertising and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The quantitative research thus far addresses only whether advertising precedes CSR practices, on the basis that advertisers use CSR as yet another tool for building the corporate brand. Findings have been inconclusive. This paper, rather, builds the “informative advertising” hypothesis, the idea advertising follows CSR practices, as firms attempt to publicize their good deeds. The global CSR initiatives are the case for analysis, namely the Global Compact, Global Reporting Initiative, and Carbon Disclosure Project. Results from this paper fail to support the informative advertising …
Authenticity And Appropriation As Issues In Corporate Social Responsibility, Paul Skilton
Authenticity And Appropriation As Issues In Corporate Social Responsibility, Paul Skilton
Academic Conference on Good Business
In this study I focus on CSR initiatives that appropriate goals values and categories from competing institutional logics to better understand why some of these initiatives are seen as authentic by stakeholders, while others are viewed as fake. I illustrate my theory development with examples from the competing logics of food production and distribution, and explore the differences that have produced varying outcomes in terms of perceived authenticity. I begin with a review of the literature and then discuss the multiple logics of food systems and the perceived authenticity of CSR initiatives in this arena.
