It appears that there is a growing understanding that doing the right thing for society can not only be good for business but is also a responsibility of the modern corporation. Causes, corporations, and society have benefited from corporate involvement with social issues. However, it also appears that in some cases, there may be potential pitfalls associated with merging social and corporate objectives. The "overcommercialization" of some activities designed to benefit society may in fact harm those that these activities are trying to help. This article examines potential pitfalls associated with cause-related marketing and provides recommendations for reducing the potential negative consequences Language eng DOI 10.1177/0276146701211002 Field of Research 150599 Marketing not elsewhere classified HERDC Research category C1 Refereed article in a scholarly journal Copyright notice ©2001, Sage Publications Persistent URL http://hdl.handle.net/10536/DRO/DU:30008381 Document type: Journal Article Collections: Faculty of Arts and Education Faculty of Business and Law School of Management and Marketing Higher Education Research Group Related Links Link Description Connect to published version (restricted access) Go to link with your DU access privileges     Unless expressly stated otherwise, the copyright for items in DRO is owned by the author, with all rights reserved.
