Harmless? Marketing insider Mara Einstein demonstrates in this penetrating analysis why the answer is a resounding "No!" In Compassion, Inc. she outlines how cause-related marketing desensitizes the public by putting a pleasant face on complex problems.

She also discusses companies that truly do make the world a better place, and those that just pretend to. 606 $aSocial responsibility of business$zUnited States 606 $aConsumer behavior$xMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 610 $aamerican consumerism. 610 $aamerican corporations. 610 $aamerican marketing. 610 $abusiness and charity. 610 $abusiness and finance. 610 $abusiness and philanthropy. 610 $abusiness. 610 $acause-related marketing. 610 $acharitable work. 610 $acharities. 610 $acommerce books. 610 $aconsumer marketplace. 610 $aconsumer products. 610 $acorporations and charity. 610 $aethical branding. 610 $afair marketing. 610 $amarketing and charity. 610 $amarketing and sales. 610 $amoney and power. 610 $aorganization funding. 610 $apink ribbons. 610 $asocial justice. 610 $asustainability. 610 $asustainable business. 610 $asustainable consumerism. 610 $aus economy. 610 $awealth. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business 615 0$aConsumer behavior$xMoral and ethical aspects 676 $a381.3 700 $aEinstein$b Mara$0721188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778938403321 996 $aCompassion, Inc$93808447 997 $aUNINA
