Harvard Business School has announced a new program in its Executive Education lineup. “Corporate Social Responsibility: Strategies to Create Business and Social Value” will take place on the HBS campus in Boston, Massachusetts, from October 10 to 13, 2007.
The program grew from HBS’s recognition of how much the expectations of stakeholders — from customers to employees to shareholders to governments — have grown in recent years. Studies released this month have shown that a large majority of Americans expect companies to embrace socially responsible business practices.
HBS developed the training to provide insights into achieving superior strategic corporate social responsibility and enhancing firm value. It is designed for senior corporate executives in charge of CSR efforts, and explores how corporate social responsibility significantly improves business performance, how to incorporate it into the company strategy, and how to drive it throughout the organization.
The teaching team for the program includes:
- William W. George, Professor of Management Practice
- Herman B. “Dutch” Leonard, Eliot I. Snider and Family Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School.
- George F. Baker, Jr. Professor of Public Sector Management Teaching Programs, Harvard University John F. Kennedy School of Government
- Joshua D. Margolis, Associate Professor of Business Administration
- Jane Nelson, Senior Fellow. Director of the Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative, Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, Harvard University John F. Kennedy School of Government
- V. Kasturi Rangan, Malcolm P. McNair Professor of Marketing, and faculty chair of the program
- Forest L. Reinhardt, John D. Black Professor of Business Administration
More information about “Corporate Social Responsibility: Strategies to Create Business and Social Value” is available from the HBS website.
