Description

This study investigates the impact of an undergraduate Business & Society course on students' attitudes about the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at a highly diverse, urban, AACSB accredited U.S. university. Students were surveyed for their attitudes about key areas of business and CSR. Findings indicated that students who had completed the course were less likely to believe that a company's primary responsibility was to maximize shareholder value, and were more likely to believe that creating value for the local community was a company's primary responsibility. However, there were no significant differences for some other CSR attitudes we investigated.
