Beskrivelse af
eksamensforløbet
The oral defence is based upon the written assignment, which
tasks students with responding to one or more provided exam
questions. The written assignment should focus on
the key theories and concepts used in the course.
In the oral exam students will be allowed up to 2 minutes to
give a brief presentation before answering a series of questions
from the examiners. Questions may pertain specifically to the
written assignment, and/or other key concepts, theories or
literature from the course. The only thing the students may bring
in the exam room is a copy of their written
assignment

Companies increasingly need to communicate their efforts to be
responsible and sustainable, both directly through communication
products like CSR reports and press releases, but also indirectly
through marketing choices and partnership engagements. First,
this course provides an introduction to key concepts and theories
related to corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and
business ethics, particularly as they relate to marketing and
communications. Second, it examines real-world cases based
upon the relevant concepts and models. Lastly, students will
create and critique their own communications products based upon
both theory and case learning. Overall, the course aims to
provide both an overview of the key concepts and issues related to
responsible management, as well as practical insight and hands-on
practice on the topic.
Topics covered on the course include:
- Ethics, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and
sustainability
- CSR communications and reporting
- Stakeholder engagement
- Partnerships, multi-stakeholder initiatives and other forms of
private governance
- Comparative CSR, globalization and the marketplace
- Consumer behavior
- Marketing ethics
- Consumers and marketing ethics
The structure of the course is divided into lectures and
exercises, and tasks students with working in groups.
Lectures will emphasize key concepts by focusing on the major
theories and frameworks for each given topic. Each exercise
will begin with a different, real-world case example and
discussion, designed to highlight and operationalize the key
issue(s) within the weekly topic. Students will then work
within a group over the duration of the course to create, revise
and critique internal- and external-facing communications products
based upon a case that builds throughout the exercises.
A unique feature of this course is the progression of a single
case that builds week-by-week in response to weekly updates or
“twists” that relate to responsible management. This ongoing
case approach is designed to foster students’ ability to grapple
with vague or unclear mandates, sometimes contradictory requests,
and staying true to brand image throughout a variety of
circumstances and scenarios.
