| Semester | spring semester 2022 |
| Course frequency | Every spring sem. |
| Lecturers | Georg von Schnurbein (georg.vonschnurbein@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | It is not only since the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that companies have been called upon to better perceive their social responsibility or to make it recognizable. While at the beginning of CSR research there was still talk of voluntary services and "icing on the cake", today corporate responsibility is an integral part of corporate activities with great strategic importance. When bidding for public contracts, in the financial markets and in the business media, a company's CR plays an increasingly important role. In this lecture, students learn the theoretical basics and receive an introduction to practical implementation. |
| Learning objectives | 1. students are familiar with the basic theoretical approaches to corporate responsibility, including the development of corporate social responsibility, corporate sustainability and corporate citizenship. 2. students are familiar with the location of corporate responsibility in the strategic and organizational implementation in the company. 3. students are able to develop and critically evaluate activities for corporate responsibility themselves. 3. students are able to develop and critically assess corporate responsibility activities themselves 4. students get to know different areas of implementation (supply chain, human resources/team building, corporate philanthropy) by means of case studies. |
