Overview

You spent the last nine weeks learning about various aspects of an organization, its business functioning and the process of its strategic shift from a profit-only model to a triple bottom line model.

In the course, you learned to:

· Determine the impact of proposed strategic decisions across departments

· Assess current performance of an organization through analysis of financial statements

· Make ethically informed decisions based on awareness of legal and organizational parameters

Now, it’s time to reflect on what you’ve learned.

Prompt

To complete this assignment:

1. Identify three key topics from the course that you want to explore further. For example:

· How do various functional areas or departments individually and collectively contribute to the CSR outlook of a company?

· How can analyzing financial statements of a company help reveal its commitment toward CSR?

· How can a company become a frontrunner in making ethical choices while staying within legal restrictions?

2. Apply the chosen
three topics to re-evaluate the company you chose in Module One (you can consult the

list of companies

).

3.
Your re-evaluation should address one of the following considerations:

· Related to the topic, what was your first impression of the company you chose? What is your current impression of the company? How has it changed? Explain your reasoning.

· What drives the direction for the company in its sustainability efforts?

· What are the key features of the CSR efforts of the company?

· Do you believe the company has a sustainable approach to the triple bottom line?

· What are the critical financial, social responsibility, or ethical challenges facing the company in today’s global environment?

4. Based on your evaluation, justify
whether the company you chose in Module One deserves praise for its commitment to CSR.
