Together with the Harvard Business School faculty team of James E. Austin,
Marc J. Epstein, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Herman B. "Dutch" Leonard, and V.
Kasturi Rangan, each of them will bring their unique perspectives to this
in-depth exploration of the corporate value and social impact of today's
CSR strategies.
Developed in response to increasing expectations of consumers, employees,
investors, communities, and governments for socially responsible business
practices, this Executive Education program provides senior corporate
executives with the knowledge, skills, tools, and frameworks to integrate
social responsibility as part of their corporate strategy, drive it
throughout the organization, and, ultimately, leverage corporate social
responsibility for improved business performance.
Through in-depth examination of the dilemmas, challenges, and complexities
inherent to existing models, Corporate Social Responsibility: Strategies to
Create Business and Firm Value pushes the frontiers of the field and brings
to focus the next generation of issues facing practitioners. The
comprehensive curriculum is designed around four core topics:
Managing for Social and Firm Values;
Driving Corporate Social Responsibility Throughout the Organization;
Managing Risk and Decision Making; and
Measuring Corporate Social Responsibility Performance.
Corporate Social Responsibility: Strategies to Create Business and Social
value is designed for senior executives, CEOs, and general managers in a
broad range of industries, who are responsible for corporate social
responsibility initiatives and organizational strategy. Participants
represent a variety of industries, including retail, financial services,
and manufacturing, as well as organizations of different sizes with varied
structures. Through interactive sessions, key decision-makers examine the
costs, benefits, and impact of corporate social responsibility
initiatives, as well as the importance of driving strategic corporate
social responsibility throughout their organizations. As they explore
critical emerging issues, participants will learn to formulate and execute
strategic corporate social responsibility initiatives that improve business
performance and enhance bottom-line results.
Harvard Business School is the leading provider of advanced learning
opportunities that strengthen the leadership capacity of both individuals
and their organizations. HBS Executive Education offers a comprehensive
