“…The theory underlying this idea of satisfying third parties and not only company shareholders is also defended by authors such as Donaldson & Preston (1995) and Jones (1995). For these authors, companies should be honest and ethical in their interactions with interest groups since this type of behavior is beneficial for the company, an opinion also shared by Vasconcelos, Alves, & Pesqueux (2012, p. 149).…”

Práticas de responsabilidade social corporativa em empresas brasileiras RESUMOAs práticas de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa têm aumentado nos últimos anos em empresas de todo o mundo. O Brasil, um dos mais importantes países emergentes no cenário internacional, não é uma exceção a isso, com mais e mais empresas que optam por tais práticas. O presente estudo concentra-se na análise das práticas de responsabilidade social corporativa com as quais as empresas brasileiras estão envolvidas. A amostra utilizada é composta por 500 empresas agrupadas por área geográfica; o quadro teórico baseia-se nas teorias institucionais e de partes interessadas; e a técnica utilizada para a análise é o biplot, mais especificamente o HJ biplot e a análise de agrupamento. Com base nos resultados obtidos, é possível inferir que as variáveis de RSC correspondentes a práticas ambientais estão mais intimamente ligadas a empresas localizadas nas áreas do Norte do Brasil. As práticas sociais e comunitárias estão ligadas a empresas localizadas principalmente nas regiões Sul e Nordeste do país. PALAVRAS-CHAVE | RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas | FGV-EAESP

“…It is further argued that each stakeholder has the right to be treated as an end in themselves and not as a means to an end (Donaldson & Preston, 1995;Jones, 1995), therefore stakeholders can and should have a direct influence on managerial decision making. Stakeholder theory argues that it is the responsibility of leadership to select activities that obtain optimal benefits for all identified stakeholders, regardless of their relative power or interests (Clarkson, 1995;Donaldson & Preston, 1995;Jones, 1995). Yet, in this task and in the context of place branding, leadership is hugely hampered by a variety of political pressures, including the reconciliation of local and regional interests and the promotion of an identity that is acceptable to a range of public and private sector organisations.…”

This article contributes to theory concerning the relationship between the brands associated with a place, through a two-stage mixed method study involving interviews with place brand practitioners and web content analysis. The article, first reports on the challenges associated with managing place brand relationships and, then, discusses various aspects of the brand webs associated with places. On this basis, the article proposes, exemplifies and discusses the Place Brand Web Model. This model, which responds to the complex nature of the relationships between the brands associated with a place, is presented in two instantiations, the DMO perspective, and the more generalised perspective that views brands with associations with a place as contributing to the co-creation of the perceptual entity, THE Place Brand. The model is exemplified and discussed and with reference to a major UK city.Keywords Place branding; brand architecture; brand leadership; stakeholders; place brand web.

“…In the broader fi eld of management, the literature on corporate social responsibility has also considered collective interests, in the form of moral claims of multiple stakeholders. This view suggests that responsibility toward other stakeholders and corporate (self-interested) goals are not mutually exclusive (Donaldson and Preston, 1995); indeed, the interests of other stakeholders can be a source of competitive advantage (Jones, 1995). As noted later, this literature assumes a more nuanced and sophisticated notion of self-interest-enlightened selfinterest-which alters the mechanisms of self-interest, but does not transcend it.…”
