BMGT43280 Corporate Social Responsibility

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module looks at the underlying assumptions of the dominant economic paradigm that has driven the business model to date as a gateway into exploring new approches that will embrace a more sustainable, ethical and aspirational paradigm of business in society.

We will investigate the forces in the corporate environment in public, private and non-private sectors and the wider economic, political and societal backdrop against which corporations must operate.

The course will use lectures and a series of case studies, through which a lively classroom debate will be facilitated; - Mini case studies, drawn from research projects or short cases from the textbook, will be used to assist individual level of understanding and application of the lectures / theories. - Full case studies will deal with more controversial ethical issues drawn from both written and video case studies, to facilitate group discussion.
