LEAD 220 Principles of Organizational Social Responsibility

This course examines how organizational decision making and activities impact society, the environment, and the organizations' own prosperity. Organizations are increasingly called to develop responsible, sustainable, and transparent approaches to accomplishing organizational goals. Globalization and heightened stakeholder expectations create a need to balance the accomplishment of organizational goals with an ethical commitment to and knowledge of the communities impacted. Students will be introduced to the environmental, ethical, legal, and cultural factors that contribute to sustainable economic and social development. The evolution of social responsibility movements, as well as current theories, models, and metrics used to assess the quality of social responsibility initiatives will be explored.
