Case Study:
For this project, you will analyze the case study ITC LTD: Toward a Triple Bottom Line Performance. You will look at various aspects of both the daily operations of the company as well as management strategies to determine the impact they have on the social responsibility of the company. You will examine the impact this has on the internal and external stakeholders of the company, as social responsibility impacts them the most. Then, you will devise a revised strategy plan that addresses any gaps and risks you have identified in regard to social responsibility.
Critique the Organization: In this part of the project, you will continue your case study analysis, critiquing the organization regarding how it considers social responsibility and how its processes have been influenced internally and externally.
a) Utilizing the information in the case study and your previous analysis, determine the appropriate components for a strategic CSR plan for the organization.
b) Compare the components chosen pertaining to the organization with other organizations with similar or different strategic components.
