IIMB LAUNCHES WEBSITE TO TEACH CSR
The website supplies short sets of lecture slides which business school teachers can use as a basic teaching tool and supplement and adapt for their own teaching needs. Links are also provided to other CSR teaching resources such as films, practitioner sites and relevant case studies and research papers.
The initiatives have been taken up following a shortage of available material and teaching resources on the subject, Professor N Balasubramanian, said here Thursday during a workshop as part of an Indo-UK project aimed at curriculum design, teaching and research on CSR. The initiative aims at strengthening research in this field and building up case studies on the subject, he said adding the website is intended to be a live resource with a discussion forum and with continuing updates and additions of new CSR teaching and research resources. The IIMB also rolled out a model CSR curriculum that could be "adopted and adapted" by business schools. Awards for three best CSR cases, which were part of a contest organized on the topic, were also presented on the occasion. The cases would be up on the website. (PTI)
