Coperate Social Responsibility

Reading:

'Individual and Corporate Social Responsibility', Jean Tirole, Roland Bénabou 

 Questions


Introduction.
1. Does anyone give to charity? If so why? How about give blood? 
2. Has anyone taken part in the 'ice bucket challenge'? What do you think made it so popular?


Understanding
3. What is an 'image concern'?
4. What are the bright sides of image concerns at the individual level? Think of your own examples of where image concerns are used to promote good behaviour or discourage bad (i.e. do you have any in Rotterdam, or at Erasmus)
5. What are the bad sides of image concerns at the individual level?
6. What are the 3 'visions' of CSR talked about in the paper?
7. What are the bad and good sides of image concerns at the corporation level?

Discussion
8. How much does 'intrinsic' motivation matter? Can people be persuaded to do the right thing? 
9. Is a firm still behaving ethically if they only behave in an ethical way in order to maximise their profits in the long term?
10.What responsibilities should companies have, in relation to the environment?
