  • LAIS 430: Corporate Social Responsibility

    3.00 Credits
    Colorado School of Mines

    Businesses are largely responsible for creating the wealth upon which the well-being of society depends. As they create that wealth, their actions impact society, which is composed of a wide variety of stakeholders. In turn, society shapes the rules and expectations by which businesses must navigate their internal and external environments. This interaction between corporations and society (in its broadest sense) is the concern of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This course explores the dimensions of that interaction from a multi-stakeholder perspective using case studies, guest speakers and field work. Prerequisite: LAIS100. Prerequisite or co-requisite: SYGN200. 3 hours seminar; 3 semester hours.
