Module content:
In the rapidly changing global environment the notion that businesses take on social and environmental responsibilities has grown significantly. Financial results remain a must but companies are expected to achieve those results by operating in a socially responsible manner. This implies that managers must develop pertinent reasoning skills and subject their strategies and decisions to social/environmental as well as financial considerations.
The seminar commences by establishing an advanced understanding of the new challenges to business in the global market and the concept of CSR in the context of related approaches like f.i. Business Ethics and Sustainability.
In the next part the focus will on the intercultural dimension of CSR. Comparative approaches to CSR are analysed and the conceptual framework is applied to surveys of selected countries. International CSR standards and initiatives like ISO 26000, the UN Global Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative will analysed with a view to handling business problems that result from a spread of stakeholders in diverse cultures.
The seminar will conclude with an evaluation of the potential and implications of CSR on a global scale and a critical assessment of the implications of responsibility.
