Comments on: Google’s China Move: Raises Search Engine Giant to Higher CSR Plane? http://sdialogue.com/csr/googles-china-move-raises-search-engine-giant-to-higher-csr-plane/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:56:29 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Perry http://sdialogue.com/csr/googles-china-move-raises-search-engine-giant-to-higher-csr-plane/comment-page-1/#comment-66 Perry Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:34:51 +0000 http://sdialogue.com/?p=910#comment-66 Totally Agree with you David. Originally, we meant it to be a post on whether Google's move would even fall under the rubrick of CSR -- as you point out, time will give a better idea of that. Totally Agree with you David.

It is either a wonderfully Machiavellian tactic to improve market share in China, if they we're to go back in, and motivated by profit, but more likely a genuine adherence to ethical values that we tend to mistrust as a stranger in today's corporate world. As the dust settles Google will have undoubtably improved their CSR reputation merely by presenting their case as a moral decision. They now have a rare oppportunity to further propel and reinforce this advantage by sustaining their approach to deliver tanible improvements toward internet censorship and control by Chinese government.
