COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL offers a wide range of graduate
degree programmes within the different business
administration disciplines. We now also offer a unique
possibility to participate in selected graduate courses
that have been re-designed to cater managers, specialists
and professionals in general, mainly from the private
sector. SEE THE DESCRIPTION OF THE CSR COURSE BELOW.

The graduate courses are designed for those interested
in developing a theoretical strength in relation to a specialized
theme or perspective that will have relevance for
one’s strategic and operational responsibilities. During
the four module days, spread over 2-3 months, we will
present new theoretical perspectives, develop analytical
competencies and create a renewed academic reflection
within this specialized theme.

Preparation in relation to e.g. literature will be significant
and correspond to a graduate business school level. All
materials will be in English and at a graduate academic
level. There will also be some smaller exercises between
the modules that will develop the participants’ analytical
competencies within the theoretical perspective.
All courses with an English course description will be
taught in English and class discussions, course materials
and exams will also be in English.

Exam
Each course can be finalized with an individual exam. The
type of exam varies but it can either be a synopsis with
an oral exam or a written thesis without an oral exam.
Deadline for submission of exam paper will typically be
3-4 weeks subsequent to the last module.
It is possible to design the exam paper on a case based
on one’s own work related praxis or experience, but focussing
on a case with a more generic and theoretical
perspective is also possible. The exam paper can be codesigned
with other participants but the oral exam and
grading is on an individual basis.
If the course is concluded with a passed exam the participants
will receive an exam diploma indicating the grading.
Each graduated course is equivalent to 7.5 ECTS.

Tuition fee
Tuition fee is DKK 11.900 excl. Danish VAT for participation
in one graduate course. This includes teaching, catering
and course materials.

CSR STRATEGY FOR BUSINESS LEADERS
Course manager
Associate Professor Jette Steen Knudsen,
Department of International Economics and
Management.

TARGET GROUP
This course is relevant for managers and
professionals in private companies, interest
organizations or the public sector who are
interested in understanding, assessing and
dealing with an emerging set of social and
environmental issues commonly referred to
as corporate social responsibility (CSR).

DATES
14 September, 9 October, 29 October and
20 November 2010

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course provides an overview of how
new social and environmental demands from
a variety of stakeholders pose new risks
and opportunities to business leaders. The
course examines drivers of the CSR agenda,
business responses, limits to CSR, codes of
conduct and reporting, the role of institutional
investors as well as potential new issues and
challenges. The course seeks to integrate a variety of
concrete CSR challenges into the development
of new strategies in companies, interest
organizations or the public sector.
The course draws from different academic
disciplines such as management, general
strategy, international business, risk management
and organizational studies to address
how CSR issues can be effectively managed
throughout the organization. The course
uses practical cases in order to illustrate and
discuss, how managers may respond to these
new social and environmental challenges.
After completing the course the participants
should be able to distinguish between, and
critically assess, different approaches to understanding
CSR challenges, analyze concrete
problems within CSR strategy by applying
the concepts, theories and methods
of the course as well as develop and outline
more effective strategic CSR management
approaches (read more on website).
