Abstract Contributing to society is not simply a charitable gesture but can be a value creating activity when utilized with an appropriate strategy. Companies should attempt to move from “good corporation” to “smart corporation.” Society should also recognize that corporations are the organizations that create values in collaboration rather than just offering away some of their profits to society. When both corporations and society realize this mutually beneficial role, we can develop a virtuous cycle of increasing the benefits for both corporations and society.
