In the Winter 2014 edition of the California Management Review, Andrew Crane, Guido Palazzo, Laura J. Spence, and Dirk Matten critique the concept of Creating Shared Value as outlined in Mark Kramer and Michael Porter’s original article on the topic, “Creating Shared Value” (Harvard Business Review, January 2011).
For links to the critique and a blog post summarizing the authors’ key arguments, as well as the response from Porter and Kramer, see Meghan Ennes’ post here in the Shared Value Initiative Community, and join the conversation!
