Corporate Social Responsibility - It's a win-win, right?
Task
Building on what you will learn about corporate social responsibility (CSR), your group will create a proposal for a local business outlining how they can become socially responsible. Students would have to think like a business owner as well as a socially responsible citizen. This proposal will be in the form of a 10 minute group in-class presentation.
For this task, each team (of 3 students) will complete the following tasks:

2. Identify which initiative or CSR venture to undertake. To identify potential ventures, students should explore and answer the following questions:
a. What are the benefits?
b. What are the costs?
c. Who will benefit? (Customers, employees, employers, everyone?)
d. How does it fit into the business model?
e. What are the connections to the business?
f. Will it be a continuous effort or short-term?
g. How can people get involved?
3. Analyze the potential CSR initiative routes, for example philanthropy, charitable causes or community service.
