Awesome.

I mean, c’mon - an HBR Spotlight on social change titled Making a Real Difference with articles from Clayton Christensen and Michael Porter, how could this not be awesome?

Christensen’s article, Disruptive Innovation for Social Change (exec summary can be found here), ports his disruptive innovation thesis to the social sector. Good article and great case studies highlighting how “catalytic innovations” can find a foothold and grow to bring value to those in need.

Porter’s article, Strategy and Society: The Link Between Competitive Advantage and Corporate Social Responsibility, is also a good read - examining the relationship between business and society and that corporate growth and social welfare is not a zero-sum game.

And those two aren’t even the lead article! - (yes, sadly I did get that excited about HBR) - which is on managing the right tension between three main competing objectives every company faces (profitability vs growth, short term vs long term, whole organization vs units).

Definitely an HBR worthy of the cover price and the highly positive one word review.
