Questions: Imagine that you are hired as an international business consultant for a new, growing company with the potential for a large number of production or service sites abroad. Your employer aims to be a responsible corporate citizen. The CEO of the company has requested that you create memo outlining the components of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and highlighting best practices in order to develop a company policy for CSR that is sustainable not only in in the company's home country, but also in other countries where this company is doing business.

• Review Chapter 2 of the course text paying particular attention to CSR and related topics.
• Make an assumption regarding the company's specialization (for example, pharmaceuticals, finance, minerals, manufacturing, etc.)
• Get familiar with best practices in CSR reporting using the following resource: Responsibility Reports. You should go over the reports and select two or three of them to use as examples of best practices in your memo.
• Get familiar with the Business Memo format (HINT: You can learn more about the requirements and conventions used in business memos by visiting online writing centers such as GMU, Purdue, CSU).
• briefly describe the purpose of CSR, characterize possible approaches to CSR reporting using the examples you chose, and make a recommendation regarding the CSR components that are most relevant to the company's area of specialization and should be included in the company's CSR policy.
