The main purpose of the course is to provide a portrait of ethical dilemmas and practices of social responsibility of companies and other typology of organizations in current times.
The course aims to develop students' knowledge about ethics and social responsibility in contemporary societies and to contribute to a critical reflection on ethics and social responsibility as evolving social, economic and organizational practices, bearing in mind the role of managers within these dynamics.
The student should be able: (i) to mobilize key concepts related to ethics and corporate social responsibility (CRS) in the identification and analysis of CRS practices of companies and other organizations and (ii) to analyze, in a critical way, concrete cases illustrative of the basic themes under discussion in the framework of the course.
The teaching methodology combines different approaches concerning the theoretical and more practical components.
In the theoretical component, dedicated to the presentation and discussion of the main concepts and perspectives on the basic themes of the course, interrogative methods are used with the support, whenever relevant, of audiovisual materials and of concrete illustrations of the programmatic contents, capable of fostering a critical analysis and reflection.
In the practical component, active methodology is used, based on the development of individual and / or group exercises and on the dynamization of oriented discussions about practical cases on ethics and social responsibility in companies and other organizations.
Complementarily, and in order to deepen the articulation between theory and practice, seminars will be held in classes, based on invitations to non-academic experts.
