Course Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an emerging organizational domain that describes an organization's effort to assess and take responsibility for its impact on environmental and social concerns. In this course, students will examine the nature of CSR, its strategic imperatives, applications in various contexts, and its impact on traditional business processes and practices.

As the nature of CSR is both crucial to apprehend and somewhat controversial, the course opens with a pointed effort to develop a cohesive definition of CSR and a framework for assessing its relevance to social well-being. With a core schema in place, students will have the opportunity to explore CSR as both a strategic matter and from the perspective of its impact on daily business operations.

In addition, the roles of CSR in global or multi-regional contexts and the importance of CSR to not-for-profit (NFP) and non-governmental (NGO) organizations are investigated.

As CSR is an emerging topic in both research and practice; and as CSR is a multi-disciplinary, highly integrative function, the course places significant emphasis on measurements and metrics used to both deploy and evaluate socially responsible corporate performance.

How emerging successful business models based on data are driven with the implementation of ethically consistent digital value creation using ICT and tendentially AI like Uber are just some of the new case studies illustrating the global reach. With more cases and examples, initiatives and failures are explored in real business contexts, providing a comprehensive understanding.
