Thoughts on Consumer Advocacy and Business Accountability: Creating Win-WIn OutcomesSubmitted by Sudhir Kade on Thu, 02/02/2006 - 14:39.
So often economic development focuses on job creation, new venture creation, and the connection of resources to opportunity. While these are all important drivers of economic growth, we must also consider the impacts of sound ethical consumer and business practices. On the consumer side, customers of businesses need to understand the terms of business transactions and employ sound money managment techiques to ensure transactions are conducted resource efficiently. This enables consumers to save more, and in time not only enhance quality of life but accumulate savings which eventually have greater economic impact and contribution - allowing the consumer to spend more, generate greater tax revenue for all levels of government, inspire diverse investments or even new business ventures.
