Socially Responsible MBA Programs
Recent political and social developments have heightened awareness on key issues like climate change. More importantly, many peopleâs desire to act and make a difference has been piqued. For those looking to act beyond demonstrations and social media posts, a Socially Responsible MBA can prepare you to make a positive difference in the community.
1. What is a Socially Responsible MBA?
Corporate social responsibility could be likened to every business having a conscience, and filtering its business activity through that conscience. Most corporate social responsibility programs address the social, environmental, and economic effects that its business dealings have on society as a whole. An MBA program with this focus or concentration prepares leaders and future leaders for these responsibilities within a business, or to start a socially responsible business.
