About this course
A company’s responsibilities extend across customers, employees, communities and the environment, but those groups do not always want the same thing. Prof Robert Ebo Hinson’s course introduces corporate social responsibility through those relationships, with particular attention to African business contexts and emerging markets.
The lectures distinguish cause promotion, cause-related marketing, social marketing, philanthropy and community volunteering. Stakeholder management provides a link between the different approaches, helping a learner ask what an initiative is intended to change and whose interests it serves.

The listing labels the course beginner level, while its stated audience includes advanced undergraduates, postgraduate ethics students and business practitioners. Expect a conceptual, lecture-based introduction rather than a step-by-step implementation toolkit or a current sustainability-reporting standard.
A useful question to bring to the material is whether a proposed initiative changes outcomes or mainly changes publicity. That question can guide your own reflection on the examples; it is not a claim that the course includes an independently assessed project. Corporate advantage is part of the discussion, but neither commercial benefits nor community impact are guaranteed by taking the course.
