THE DUAL CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPMENT
3
Economic Development
Social Development
• In both economic and business development our understanding of success has been incomplete
• There is a powerful connection between economic and social development, both positive and negative
• Separating business and competitiveness from social progress and societal issues is a serious mistake

Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress4
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPENDS ON COMPETITIVENESS
• Competitiveness depends on the long-run productivity of a location as a place to do business- Productivity of existing firms and workers- Ability to achieve high participation of working age citizens in the
workforce
• Competitiveness is not:- Low wages- A weak currency- Jobs per se
A nation (or state) is competitive to the extent that firms operating there are able to compete successfully in the regional and global economy while supporting high and rising wages and living standards for the average citizen

Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
Endowments
• Endowments, including natural resources, geographical location, population, and country size, create a foundation for prosperity, but true prosperity arises from productivity in the use of endowments
WHAT DETERMINES COMPETITIVENESS?

Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress6
WHAT DETERMINES COMPETITIVENESS?
• Macroeconomic competitiveness sets the economy-wide context for productivity to emerge, but is not sufficient to ensure productivity
• Endowments, including natural resources, geographical location, population, and country size, create a foundation for prosperity, but true prosperity arises from productivity in the use of endowments

• Sophisticated and demanding local needs– e.g., Strict quality, safety, and
environmental standards
• Many things matter for competitiveness• Successful economic development is a process of successive upgrading, in which the business
environment improves to enable increasingly sophisticated ways of competing
• Access to high quality business inputs– Qualified human resources– Capital availability– Physical infrastructure– Scientific and technological
infrastructure
• Availability and quality of suppliers and supporting industries
• Local rules and incentives that encourage investment and productivity– e.g. incentives for capital investments,
IP protection, sound corporate governance standards

MEASURING NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
• There has been a growing recognition of the need to go beyond GDP in measuring a nation’s performance
• A series of indexes have been introduced to do so: - Human Development Index- Millennium Development Indicators- Happy Planet Index- OECD Better Life Indicators- Legatum Prosperity Index

• Separate from economic indicators
• Holistic framework
• Outcomes rather than inputs
• Relevant to all countries

WHAT IS SOCIAL PROGRESS?
Social progress is the capacity of a society to meet the basic human needs of its citizens,
establish the building blocks that allow citizens and communities to enhance and sustain the
quality of their lives, and create the conditions for all individuals to reach their full potential.

Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
THE SOCIAL PROGRESS INDEX: KEY FINDINGS
• Economic development is necessary but not sufficient as a measure of national performance
• Some approaches to economic development are less effective than others in advancing social progress, and even counterproductive
• Just as economic development helps social progress, social progress can enable sustainable economic development
• The amount of government spending (as a percent GDP) is an incomplete explanation for social progress performance

THE SOCIAL PROGRESS IMPERATIVE: DRIVING TO ACTION
The Social Progress Imperative is not just an Index, but a global effort designed to catalyze action at the country level. It aims to form and support National Committees of leaders and stakeholders in each country, and work jointly
with them to mobilize policy changes and private sector initiatives.
36
![Page 37: Professor Michael E Porter: Social Progress Imperative and Development Strategies for the 21st Century](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070302/5486edebb4af9f23288b4649/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE
• Interpret and disseminate country level priorities for social progress improvement
• Pursue policy changes in priority areas for social progress, through cross-sector collaboration
• Foster improvements in local data collection and relevant research

THE ROLE OF BUSINESS IN SOCIETY
• Only business can create wealth and prosperity
• Business is facing growing scrutiny as the cause or a contributor to many of today’s societal challenges
• Corporate social responsibility efforts are greater than ever, but the legitimacy of business has fallen
• Government and NGO’s alone lack sufficient resources and capabilities to fully meet social challenges
We need a new approach

THE PURPOSE OF BUSINESS
• Our purpose in business is to create shared value for society, not economic value for its own sake
• Businesses acting as businesses, not as charitable givers, are arguably the most powerful force for addressing many of the pressing issues facing our society
• Shared value will give rise to far broader opportunities for economic value creation
• Shared value thinking will drive the next wave of innovation, productivity, and economic growth
• A transformation of business practice around shared value will give purpose to the corporation and represents our best chance to legitimize business again
