First, ethics is intrinsecally linked with economic rationality. Second, firms not only produce goods and services for the market but also internal and external relationships between persons. As a consequence, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a way both to understand the firm's nature and to manage it in a perspective of common good and sustainability. After presenting these assumptions, the course explores the main topics related to CSR governance, management and tools. TEACHING METHODS Lectures, case studies, seminars by operators, individual and group works. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Part 1: Basics of ethics Part 2: Ethics and economics Part 3: Ethics and corporate social responsibility Part 4: Methodologies, tools and applications RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Notes will be made available on Aulaweb.
