The commitment to social involvement in a democracy implies action. Intentional social strategies, rather than emergent ones, permit i rms (and i rm members) to extend and focus the already considerable impact they have on the communities to which they belong. Moreover, those i rms that pursue social strategies directly linked to their product offerings and customer base, are actively pursuing the creation of competitive advantage and additional value-added for the customers.

K. , 1994), and chaos theory (Levy, 1994).
