corp. social responsibility
Team 2
Company: Under Armour
Corporate Social Responsibility, Corporate Governance, and Business Ethics in the Global Environment
Objective 8: Analyze the concept of corporate social responsibility and apply it to address challenges facing organizations in the global economy.
Competencies: Diversity and Cross-Cultural Awareness; Teambuilding Skills; Communication
Team Project: 10%
In this project, teams are consulting companies advising corporations on the substance and public perception of their corporate social responsibility efforts. Teams should choose a global corporation and report on the corporation's efforts and results in the areas of corporate social responsibility. The team's report should address the following:
1. Does the company have a stated policy on corporate social responsibility?
2. What is the company doing to be socially responsible?
3. Evaluate the company's CSR efforts. What can the company do to improve its corporate social responsibility behavior and/or reputation? As a consulting company, make sure that you make specific recommendations.
You must incorporate at least three of the required readings in your analysis as well as additional research to support your views and recommendations. All references must be cited using proper APA citation format.
When conducting your research, please keep in mind that while company websites are an essential source of information, they are marketing documents for the companies, and all statements therein should be read with that in mind.
Each team should post its presentation and script in a topic in the team study group conference entitled "Final Team Presentation and Script" by 11:59 PM on the final day of class. Each team member is required to post his or her individual contribution to the team's project in the Study Group conference. The actual contribution must be posted, so faculty can review it. If you do not post your individual contribution, you may not get credit for the assignment. Posting a narrative of what you contributed is not sufficient.
