Risk taking is clearly a significant element of entrepreneurial activity. Some would argue that the preparedness to take risks is one of the defining personal traits of an entrepreneur. Risk taking, though, is a complex concept in itself and the motivations which lead firms to take risks may also vary. When the stakes are high and the dynamics are not what they should be things can go spectacularly wrong with negative impacts not only on the firm and its employees but also on the wider society. Many countries still feel the effects of the financial crisis of a decade ago – a crisis which has impacted not only firms but whole nations as they have taken austerity measures to put their economies back on track. Sustainability is another issue which is absolutely central to business as firms look to demonstrate real consideration not just for profit but also for their various internal and external stakeholders, wider society and the planet itself: How are scarce resources used? How responsible is the firm in dealing with its waste? How does it deal with aspects such as equality amongst the workforce? The list goes on.

Many companies would claim that their people are their greatest asset. Those that are not in a position to make such a claim should arguably be looking at ways to develop their staff and get better performance out of them. You can put in place excellent systems but if the people putting those systems into practice are demotivated then you still have a problem. Happy the firm that has a workforce who take ownership of their customer relationships, take pride in their work and look for ways to “go the extra mile” to rescue service failures and transform difficult situations into satisfied customers and retained business. So how do you go about creating such a workforce?

It is interesting to consider at what stage corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities ceased to be a “nice to have” and became a “must have” for global corporations. The word “global” is of course key to that question, as while global considerations are the same for everyone, regional, national and organisational considerations will differ depending on political, geographical and legal factors. What holds for a global firm based in the USA will differ to a global firm in Japan, China and so on. Nevertheless, sometime in the late twentieth century or early twenty-first century, a common acceptance of CSR developed, and wherever a firm was based it had to ensure its CSR bases were covered. Of course, some organisations wanted to go further than that, and made it their business to extend CSR activities as much as possible. And it was not just limited to CSR – adjacent areas such as corporate governance (CG) and corporate financial performance (CFP) became central to corporate strategy. Mission and vision statements, company brochures and acres of marketing materials became devoted to showcasing the credentials of firms against the backdrop of this new perspective; sustainability became a necessity rather than merely a convenient bandwagon to jump on. When this started, however, is difficult to pinpoint, although it should be noted that it is still very much starting and in its early phases.
