CSR in the City University of Hong Kong
From CSR Asia (16 Jan 08):
This week saw the start of Asia’s first specialised CSR course for undergraduates at City University of Hong Kong. There are 80 students enrolled, and 30 more want to do the course but the numbers are capped due to the classroom size.
Emphasis mine. See, there is definitely demand for CSR courses at the undergraduate level. I hope NUS does the same soon. I think we might be a step behind other universities in this regard. That said, it is great to know that another university has picked it up, even though it is through a professor in the social sciences.
That in itself is pretty interesting. Here is a bit more of what Dr Frost writes:
the name [of the course] is designed to keep the business folk happy enough to allow the course to run at all (at one point the Faculty of Business even suggested the term CSR should not be used because the C was their territory)
Strange how territorial the Business people are. I may not be close enough to the context of things to understand it fully, however. Still, it’s another good reason why we should have CSR in Business!
Now I am considering going to the City University of Hong Kong for exchange.
