This course evaluates the origins and current developments in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as it has impacted multinational enterprises (MNEs) and their decision-making relative to all stakeholders: especially shareholders, communities, consumers, employees, activists, and governments worldwide in the 21st Century.
