Ítem A case for assessing ethics and CSR in master’s programs. From Universidad Icesi(Greenleaf Publishing Limited, 2016-01-01) Benitez Salcedo, Edgar OrlandoEthics and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one of the key topics in the learning objectives of all master’s programs at Icesi’s Business School. Alumni from these programs should be able to judge the personal, organizational and social implications of the decisions they make as well as the ethical responsibilities associated with those decisions. This case describes how the business school has assessed the level of achievement related to this learning objective. We focus on the challenge of assessing such topics outside the Ethics and CSR classrooms in order to avoid social desirability bias. We addressed this challenge by developing a case study presented to students in their last semester, which simulates an everyday managerial decision. The case includes a range of activities that allow for evaluation of the reflexive process involved in dealing with the dilemmas that arise when choosing an appropriate business partner and when managing crises.
Ítem Political CSR as déjà vu: A case of the sedimented nature of CSR in Colombia(LAEMOS, 2016-01-01) Acosta Collazos, María del PilarRecent research argues that corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become political partly because companies are assuming state-like roles to influence global governance. By describing the historical evolution of CSR in Colombia, this paper argues that such political activity by firms is not new. Instead, we highlight the sedimentation of the political dimensions of business’ involvement in society by exploring the historical political roles businesses have taken in providing public goods. Drawing on a longitudinal perspective and the national business systems approach, we provide an overview of the historical, geo-political and economic elements that characterize the Colombian business context. Our paper seeks to make three contributions. First, it draws a longitudinal analysis showing how business’ involvement has shifted from the provision public goods in the form of the welfare company to a mix of political CSRs in which international and local demands are mixed. Second, it enriches research on political CSR by refocusing on the perspective on national business systems. Third, it provides scholars and practitioners doing business in/with Colombia with a general overview of the present state and stakes of CSR in Colombia.
