This course aims to provide students with opportunities to develop concepts and frameworks of corporate social responsibility (CSR) while putting CSR in an international context. Specifically, the course will introduce CSR to students such that students can assess firms’ CSR activities, evaluate the importance of these initiatives, and analyze the effectiveness of these activities. By doing so, students can have better understanding regarding key issues such as why firms would like to be socially responsible, when the socially responsible behaviors would be appreciated by stakeholders, and how the expectation of being socially responsible may differ in different countries.
