As part of the Speaker Series hosted by the Net Impact AUB Chapter, a CSR presentation on "THE GOVERNANCE OF POLITICAL CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY" will be conducted by Dr. Bobby Banerjee, Professor, Cass Business School.

About This Talk:
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has now become a global phenomenon. Increasingly business firms are expected to respond to global environmental and social problems facing the world. In this talk I discuss the opportunities, limits and problems of CSR. Using insights from theory and practice I show how corporations use CSR to negotiate these limits. I conclude by exploring some ideas that could lead to more progressive CSR outcomes and discuss implications for the governance of corporations.
