Abstract

This case study describes how interactive group work was used as a pedagogical method to develop first-year undergraduate students’ awareness and appreciation of corporate responsibility. It related to a first-year undergraduate module titled Contemporary Issues in Business. The module aims, first, to develop an awareness of the ethical and social responsibility issues related to business practices and, second, to enable students to engage critically with these issues and develop viable business solutions to resolve the issues. There were several challenges identified in achieving the two module. A range of pedagogical methods were used in this module, from simple case studies exploring different ethical and social responsibility dilemmas, to documentary videos to provide students with a visual representation of socially irresponsible business activities. The bipolar components of ethical analysis proposed by Singer were used to guide the group discussions. Value priorities of the company were used as the bipolar component in the ethical analysis of this particular case.
