Corporate Social Responsibility

“The knowledge gained through this short executive blended programme will allow me to actively pursue Corporate Social Responsibility in my own place of work and to actively advocate for CSR on the various management platforms I serve. I would encourage my staff to inculcate these principles in their academic delivery as well.”

“Personally, I have never been with students of so many different nationalities. I had met people from Europe before, but never someone from Nigeria or China. It was great to discover that part of the world. You discover these countries through the people! Not only by learning about their culture by talking to them individually, but also during class from a business point of view”.
