Assignment week 6

As agreed, we will meet as usual for our lesson next week ( 6 + 7th April), which means we are not taking an Easter holiday break! So see you all next week

1. In our last lesson I had asked you to think of a company that is trying to project an image of social responsibility but as we didn't have time to discuss it properly, I will ask you next lesson to discuss your findings. 

2. I have uploaded here  2 videos on CSR:  Video 1 which is a report on the concept of CSR in Apple's supply chain and Video 2   "does CSR make competitive sense?" Please listen to both videos and take notes, concentrating on the questions posted here.  We will discuss your ideas/impressions in the next lesson.

Happy Easter to you, your families and friends!
