Incorporating Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability into a Business Course: A Shared Experience
Persons, Obeua
Journal of Education for Business, v87 n2 p63-72 2012
The author discusses how corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability were incorporated into a business course by using 4 assignments, a project with a CSR question, 7 ethics cases, and 17 ethics scenarios tied to a corporate code of ethics. The author also discusses student evaluation of CSR learning experience, strengths and weaknesses of the assignments, and teaching tips. Because these materials are not discipline-specific, instructors in any discipline may adopt them with minimal modification and preparation time. Helping students appreciate the strategic and economic significance of CSR and sustainability is an important step because these issues will likely define business strategy and performance globally in the next decade. (Contains 2 notes.)
