Module contents | The module "CSR" provides an overview of the debates on the social responsibility of firms. The first session will briefly introduce the historical debate on Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Sustainability and delineate important concepts. The following sessions will use conrete company case studies as a basis for a critical discussion of central questions in the context of corporate social responsibility and sustainability. Questions that will be discussed are, amongst others:
In addition to discussing these questions by drawing on company case studies, students will be introduced to the corresponding theoretical concepts and frameworks in the academic literature. Also, students will be given the opportunity to test different strategies for implementing sustainability in organizations during a simulation, which allows them to gain first-hand insights into the emerging challenges. Toward the end of the course, students will apply and deepen the knowledge they have gathered over the semester by writing a seminar thesis. |
