Abstract

The Creating Shared Value (CSV) concept (creating business value through creating social value by addressing societal unmet needs and challenges) has been appeared as a new way of doing responsible business in the world and formed the core of recent business research. The study strives to investigate reflective insights into the Porter and Kramer’s CSV concept taking evidence from Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited (DBBL) in Bangladesh. The results show that DBBL has been creating shared value through its innovative products and services like mobile financial services, school banking, and agricultural, SME and environment friendly banking. The results also indicate that DBBL has been creating shared value along the three areas of Porter and Kramer’s CSV concept but mostly through reconceiving products and services, and redefining value chain to improve productivity. Taken as a whole, DBBL has been sharing its CSV with different stakeholders for mutual benefits.
