Corporate Social

We argue that modern approaches to teaching Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rely heavily on abstract descriptions of poorly framed problems. Such problems often point to a reality that does not favour the development of CSR. Instead it creates a level of abstraction between “business” and “social responsibility” because there is no real experience of the challenges of integrating CSR into business practice. The number one challenge of making CSR work is integrating it into culture and business practices. To assist in helping the future leaders of tomorrow understand their studies, we propose that a deeper integration between theory and practice is important. In this paper it is argued that this deeper integration can be achieved using small simulations in which students attempt to integrate CSR into real world situations and reflect on this experience. The reflection enables them to capture insights that are often absent from abstractions such as case studies. We offer an action research study to demonstrate how this reflective cycle works in two separate courses where this approach was applied. From this, these lessons are developed into a discussion where future directions are discussed.

An enormous and developing assortment of literature to environmental issues and corporate social responsibility exists. Literatures on merging the environmental issues in the industry with corporate social responsibility are relatively limited. In order to merging these two, qualitative and quantitative data’s are used to identify the environmental issues in various industries. Considering this developing exploration area, the objective and aim for this paper is to analyze research in international scientific journals that focus on environmental issues, corporate social responsibility, and green supply chain management. We recommend the following queries need to be addressed: (i) what are the common factors considered? (ii) What are the popular MCDM tools used to solve the problems? (iii) What are possible suggestions can be followed? We find that common factors are categorized under three main categories such as social, economic and environmental factors. Common factors are further segregated into sub factors. The most common MCDM tool used was “, DEMATEL ISM and AHP”. Further analysis was done and gaps in literature are identified. These gaps aid us to find improvements for corporate social responsibility and possible future directions.
