BUSS4 - Research Theme for 2011 - CSR

The research theme for Section A of the BUSS4 exams in June 2011 and January 2012 is now available. Details below.

The 2011 Research Theme on CSR requires students to consider:

(1) The potential benefits of Corporate Social Responsibility relative to the costs for businesses and stakeholders

(2) The importance of Corporate Social Responsibility relative to other corporate objectives

(3) The influences determining which responsibilities are accepted by a business and which are not

(4) The factors that determine the extent to which a business is socially responsible

(5) The value and limitations to businesses and stakeholders of social reporting

(6) The extent to which governments should influence Corporate Social Responsibility

The 2011 Research Theme will be comprehensively covered at our BUSS4 2011 Section A CSR teacher briefings

Our Section A Research Toolkit will be published on 5 March 2011 and can now be pre-ordered.

Bookings are now being taken for our hugely popular BUSS4 Revision Workshops in March and April 2011. Two of the five sessions at each Workshop are dedicated to briefing students on the Section A research theme.

We also recommend that centres make use of our BUSS4 Course Companion which provides comprehensive coverage of the entire BUSS4 specification and helps students prepared for Section B essays too.
