Students must research current newspaper articles (I recommend the Wall Street Journal, but any business newspaper or business section of newspapers will suffice). The article must relate specifically with a topic, issues or ethical dilemmas dealt in the lecture. The paper must state: a) brief summary of the article; b) how the article relates to the lecture or the course; c) student’s own critical analysis of the article’s main position or issue and d) how the student will solve or handle the problem, dilemma or issue reported in the article. This is a “short paper.” I will accept a paper as short as two pages double spaced, but it can be as long or comprehensive as the student wishes.

The top management of many flourishing businesses is of the view that the business has a minimal or no responsibility towards the regional communities the business has been operating within.

The only responsibility of a business is to make money and maximize the wealth of its shareholders.
    However, the author of the article believes that businesses must be ca
ied with a purpose, which is beyond making profits. This will help the businesses to achieve their long-term goals. A shift has been observed in the behaviour of the senior management of businesses. They now consider their human resources as their assets and not machines used to make money. Businesses in the recent times have also started contributing generously towards the welfare of the community in the region. They now contribute for schools and hospitals in the locality. Unfortunately, there are still some businesses, who consider CSR as a way to make money. In a case mentioned in the article, businesses and community groups have stepped out in San Francisco in a public private partnership to help improve the living conditions of the people in the area. It has been observed that businesses are now affected by the humanitarian emergencies unlike the traditional...
