CSR - Assignment

Dear students,

The following email was forwarded to me by Keele and requested to be forwarded to all students undertaking the CSR module this semester.


-- Begin Email --

Regarding the CSR Assessment, could you please forward this email or send a new email to your students advising them to  read this report "OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises". I found it is very useful to improver their knowledge about MNCs and CSR and will help them to write a good essay. It is available online at: http://www.oecd.org/daf/inv/mne/oecdguidelinesformultinationalenterprises.htm  

Regards,
