• Is Price demonstrating elements of corporate social responsibility by his actions in this case, or not?
• How is Price exhibiting the fourth Phase of Corporate Citizenship (Figure 3.2, 1990s to present: Corporate/Global Citizenship) in his actions at Gravity Payments?
• What arguments in support of, or concerns about, corporate social responsibility (referring to Figure 3.3) are relevant to this case?
• Is Price acting like an executive of a firm that could be certified as a B corporation?
• What stage of global corporate citizenship (using Figure 3.5) is Gravity Payments operating at, and why do you think so?
