For homework, please:
- submit your Teilleistung consent form (available in the "class information" folder on Ilias), if you haven't already.
- continue working on your first Teilleistung with your partner.
- complete all of the exercises and readings in the CSR folder on Ilias.
- watch the following TED Talk and take notes concerning how the speaker defends his thesis, "Businesses exist to serve a purpose...and only by doing so will they generate profits in the long run." The social responsibility of business | Alex Edmans | TEDxLondonBusinessSchool - YouTube After considering his arguments, are there any blindspots in Edmans' arguments (i.e. areas/factors he didn't consider)?
Optional: Alex Edmans' TED Talk focuses in part on the company COSTCO. This video interestingly outlines COSTCO's business model (and, by the way, this YouTube channel is a great one to follow): Behind Costco's Treasure-Hunt Shopping Strategy | WSJ - YouTube
Optional essay: investigate the CSR policies of one of your favorite companies. In an essay of 250-350 words, identify where the company is doing well (be specific and use examples) and where it has room for improvement, in your opinion. If you choose to complete this assignment, it must be sent to me via email in a .docx file (so that I can edit it and add comments) no later than Monday, April 19th by 5 pm.
