MBA 614 - Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility

This course focuses on the role corporations can play in shaping the world of the future. Complementary to their internal operations and sustainability practices, companies interface extensively with the communities around them, the communities that give them their “social license to operate”. The area of Corporate Social Responsibility has evolved, from being a Public Relations overhead exercise to being seen as a major strategic imperative for companies with the foresight to look beyond short time horizons. We explore innovative ways in which business, through collaboration with varied external stakeholders (increasingly including competitors), is seeking to create shared value and to minimize negative externalities in their industries.
