Citation worth reading - via AtLargeMedia.com:

“Transparency, according to Don Tapscott, means that companies must make sure that their values and behaviour are aligned. They must be good! Companies who want to survive and thrive in the new order will have to embrace corporate responsibility as a path to competitive advantage.

The era of hiring companies to create “spin” is coming to an end - instead companies must *do* the things that will make them deserving of the positive publicity and attention they crave. By delivering honest and meaningful information to their audiences, companies will get just that.”
