GSM 512 CSR: Mang. Pep.Planet & Prof.
This course on Corporate Social Responsibility will train students to be leaders who will catalyze this management revolution. The course will blend theory and practice in a way that emphasizes both critical thinking and experiential learning. This will be accomplished through two interdependent components. First, students will be exposed to key concepts and principles that can be applied to corporate initiatives aimed to address a variety of social issues, including human rights, environment, diversity, education, and poverty. Students will also be exposed to best practices in corporate social responsibility. The second component, which will be informed by the first, will feature a series of group-based short projects aimed at in-depth examination of some cutting-edge issues (e.g., Social Innovation, Sustainability, Human Rights, and CSR and Microenterprise ). Students will be involved in a cutting-edge project on defining language in sustainability and corporate responsibility. Leaders in the field will present to the class and provide an excellent opportunity for networking.
