Course aims
The objective of the course is to provide students the knowledge on the concept of coporate social responsibility and inclusive business strategies in order to have an overview how a corporational culture embraces the dimension of social impact.
Brief description of the course
The course introduces students to the concept of corporate social responsibility, which involves an examination of whether organizations should expand their focus from serving stockholders to also considering the impact of the firm's activities on diverse stakeholders.
Practicing corporate social responsibility requires that a corporation meld business goals with societal expectations.
What obligations do businesses have to the societies in which they operate? Can the interests of corporations and their outside stakeholders be aligned, or are they in inherent conflict? This course examines these and other questions without prescribing simple solutions.
