[Commpsych] FW: [aehd] Institute of Post Colonial Studies Seminar on Corporate Responsibility

[Heather Gridley]

Institute of Postcolonial Studies

presents

Corporate Social Responsibility or a New Model?

A tension in a globalising world is the relationship between
corporations and society. With cynicism about the 'trickle-down' effect
of economic growth, and fears about the impact of a
recession/depression, business is being pressured to be more conscious
of society. 

*        Can corporate social responsibility re-align business with
society or is it simply 'greenwash'? 

*        Are businesses responding to real societal needs or have they
found a new marketing tool?

*        Should multi-national corporations behave differently when they
operate in host countries? 

*        Will different forms of social enterprise emerge 'after the
meltdown'?
