Corporate Social Responsibility

Catalog description

The world of Corporate Social Responsibility is evolving. Every day brings new philosophies, theories, best practices and metrics, and there is no singular ‘right way’ to practice this business model. This class will identify the primary frameworks for Corporate Social responsibility, then review news articles, resources and case studies in order to understand the reasons for CSR initiatives, identify potential challenges or opportunities, and determine efficacy of each program. After this program, each student will be able to understand the potential impacts of CSR on business, identify ways in which these initiatives may be applied in their day to day operations and find connection points between the corporate world and social programs. This course is only offered in the MAP program.
