Due date

(Your Company) and its Corporate Social Responsibility

Introduce material here… Remember, each case study must have the headings listed below and must be answered according to assignment instructions; each heading is worth a percentage of each case grade and this is how your work should be submitted. Your audience is someone like your roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about. Here, you will address the first mandate to “Identify a company.” Give background information and remember to cite ALL stats.

This section is generally one paragraph. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an introduction. Remember that you obtained this information from the textbook. Consequently, you should cite Thiel (2015). You should NOT write “According to the textbook” as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that.

If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. The paper should be written in third person narrative and not in the first person. Note: The required headings that must be in the paper are bolded and should be kept bolded. One other note: a business is an “it,” not a “they.” Remember that when you use pronouns describing a business.

(Your Company) and its Corporate Social Responsibility

Note that the heading should not be written as a question. This is where you will answer the mandate, “Discuss and review its CSR.” You will put your response to the mandate here, in essay format.

Measuring (Your Company’s) Corporate Social Responsibility

Note that the heading should not be written as a question. This is where you will answer the mandate, “Identify and describe how to measure its CSR.” You will put your response to the mandate here, in essay format.

Examples of Companies That Depict These Relationships

The heading should not be written as a question or that you are asking questions within the paper. This is where you will answer the question, “Please provide examples of companies when possible and ensure that you justify your response.” You will put your response to the mandate here, in essay format.

The Drivers of (Your Company’s) Corporate Social Responsibility

Here, you will answer the mandate, “Discuss and review the three drivers of CSR and sustainability in regard to your selected company”

The Sustainability of (Your Company’s) Corporate Social Responsibility

Here, you will answer the question, “Is CSR sustainable for the selected company, why? Or why not?””

Also, you must provide at least eight scholarly references and cite the references in the form of in-text citations in the body of the paper (i.e., the textbook and eight additional peer-reviewed sources). Again, when you reference material in your paper, you must also have in-text citations in the body of the paper for each reference. Remember, EVERY citation must correspond to a reference and EVERY reference must correspond to a citation. You CANNOT have one without the other.

Conclusion

This section will tie together all sources used for this case study, conclusions drawn from the reading and any inconsistencies. This section will generally be one to two paragraphs. Notice the paper has a continuous flow; there are no page breaks between sections. The only page breaks occur between the title page and the introduction and the summary/conclusions and the reference page. All references for the case study must appear on a separate page (see the following page for an example).

References

This section will reference all original work cited throughout the paper. It also gets its own page, meaning that it will not start at the bottom of a previous page. The heading should appear at the top of the page and all reference material should be listed below in alphabetical order by first last name; also, the title for books is always in italic format and in sentence form. In contrast to book references, the title for articles is in sentence format, not in italic, but the name of the publisher is in italic. See examples below:

You must also provide a reference for all sources used to support the case study. (Note: As a minimum, the textbook and EIGHT additional peer-reviewed sources will be used and referenced.)

Here are some tips to take into consideration:

The reference list is the last page of your paper.

References begin on a separate page from the last page of your writing.

Put the word "References" at the top center of the page.

All reference material should be listed in alphabetical order by first last name of the author. The reference list is double spaced and formatted using a hanging indent.

Each reference entry is aligned flush with the left margin

Please look for peer-reviewed references rather than relying on online material.

NO BLOGS for DQs and PAs & CLAs.

NO Colloquial expression or Superfluous word

Few reminders:

 -  Need to use italics for the title of the book (The social domain in CSR and sustainability: A critical study of social responsibility among governments, local communities, and corporations).

  - use italics for the journal titles and volume number

 - - Need to Capitalize only the first word of a book or article title. Capitalize proper nouns, initials, and acronyms in a title. Separate a subtitle with a colon and space.
