Introduces students to the heightened expectations for corporate social
responsibility (CSR) and its global drivers, including sustainable
development and the increased pressure on corporations from regulators,
shareholders, consumers and political processes. This subject presents
CSR from the perspective of corporate opportunity and provides students
with an understanding of how to assess the impact of CSR on business
strategy, culture, operations and corporate performance. CSR is examined
from the perspective of risk management, as a risk mitigation device,
and also as an opportunity for the development of new products, markets
and business models.
