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. As a result, effective social strategy enables competitive success that in turn enables social action.
Nonstrategic approaches, although well intentioned, are thus more likely to fail to achieve any real improvement with respect to a given social problem. A third dificulty is that social strategies may subvert ordinary democratic processes. Nobel laureate Milton Friedman (1962: 133– 134) asks pointedly: If businessmen do have a social responsibility other than making maximum proits for stockholders, how are they to know what it is? Can selfselected private individuals decide what the social interest is?

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