The Participation of Businesses in Community Decision Making

Amnon Boehm

University of Haifa, aboehm{at}research.haifa.ac.il

Theoretical and practical trends of corporate citizenship indicate a deepening partnership between business and community. Following these developments, the article develops a model for the participation of businesses in decision-making processes as part of policy making and social-economic planning in the community. The article focuses on three levels: It examines the benefits and risks of such participation; identifies the typical dimensions of the participation processes; and finally, provides guidelines on how to develop a participation strategy based on the unique conditions of each business and community.

Key Words: business citizenship • corporate citizenship • social responsibility • decision making • community • participation
