In my own experience, I am more likely to patronize a company with a stronger history of corporate/organizational social responsibility as opposed to their competitors. Wilson's book addresses how to incorporate global responsibility into a business plan and create/formulate a strategy of using the Activation Cycle as a map for starting and running a company. I wish I had a copy of this book during my undergraduate business classes, as I had to write a paper on Corporate Social Responsibility and this book would have been a really useful reference. I obtained my copy from the Goodreads website and appreciate the opportunity to read and review the book.

The model itself is really intriguing and makes a lot of sense. Definitely great value and pretty applicable to existing businesses and, with a little tweaking, new ventures as well. However, the writing is quite dense and repetitive--the book could be a lot shorter. You'd probably be fine just reading the chapters toward the end and skimming the glossary when you ran into something you didn't understand.
