OL 690: Corporate Social Responsibility Wiki and Plan
Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a Corporate
Social Responsibility Plan. In Modules Two through Eight, you
will evaluate how a company is exemplifying corporate
citizenship. You will use an individual wiki space to record
reflections on how the content covered in the modules relates to
the company. In Module Eight, upon reading and reflecting on
the wiki entries of your classmates, you will choose a company
for which you would like to work as the global responsibility
director. You cannot select the company about which you have
been posting throughout the semester; you must choose another
student’s company. As the final paper, you will develop a
Corporate Social Responsibility Plan. This final product
represents an authentic demonstration of the competencies
achieved in this course as you put into action all that you have

8. learned in this course. The project is divided into 10 milestones,
which will be submitted at various points throughout the course
to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions.
Main Elements
The Final Project has four parts:
· Part 1: Selection of a CSR-oriented corporation for wiki posts.
This must be approved by the instructor (Module One: 1–2
pages)
· Part 2: Evaluation of the selected company’s exemplifying
corporate citizenship (Modules Two-Eight: 300–500 words for
each post)
· Part 3: Selection of a corporation (based on the wiki posts of
colleagues) for which you would like to be global responsibility
director (Module Eight: 1 page)
· Part 4: Final Paper—Social Responsibility Plan (Module Ten:
8–12 pages).
Part 1: Selection of a CSR-Oriented Corporation:
Select a publicly traded company of which you are a
stakeholder. This may be a company:
· Whose products you use
· That is part of your local community
· That pays your salary
· In which you invest
Note: Your instructor must approve the company you select.
There can be no duplicate companies selected by students. Have
at least 2–3 company names in mind when you conduct your
research. After your company has been approved, in modules
Two through Eight you will evaluate how the company is
exemplifying corporate citizenship. Another classmate will use
your work (the contents of your corporate wiki entries) as the
basis of his or her final paper.
Part 2:Evaluation of the Selected Company
You will use your individual wikis to record reflections on how

9. the content covered in specific modules relates to a company for
which you are a stakeholder. At each stage of this course-long
project (Modules Two through Eight), you will use your wiki
page to evaluate different aspects of the company’s
exemplification of corporate citizenship based on:
· What the company says about itself
· Your personal experience with the company
· What other stakeholders are currently saying about the
company
To show how the company is currently exemplifying corporate
citizenship, it will be important that your research utilizes
current resources to support your evaluation. At least two
references are required for each wiki post.
Part 3: Global Responsibility Director: Company Selection
You will review the corporate social responsibility wiki posts of
your classmates. Based on the reports of your classmates, select
a company for which you would like to work as the global
responsibility director. You cannot select the company about
which you have been posting throughout the semester; you must
choose another student’s company. Describe the company you
have selected and include the student’s name who posted about
that company. Provide a rationale for why you have selected
this company. The instructor must approve the company you
select.
Part 4: Final Paper
Your task is to review the current status of the company for
which you were approved (in Module Eight) and make
recommendations for changes with respect to CSR. After careful
review of the status of CSR, stakeholder attitudes, and your own
research, develop a Social Responsibility Plan for this company.
Remember, this plan is to be based on the company for which
you have selected to be the global responsibility director
(Module Eight).

10. Overview of the Corporate Social Responsibility Plan
You have attained the position of global responsibility director
(for your approved company). Your first task is to review the
current status of the company and make recommendation for
changes with respect to CSR. After careful review of the status
of CSR and stakeholder attitudes, develop a plan for future CSR
changes. Be sure to review the existing documentation and
extend your knowledge with your own research. Research
findings should be properly cited and APA-formatted both
within the body of the paper and in the References page.
The report will be submitted to the board of directors for
approval. Once approval is given, you will work toward
incorporating your CSR programs as major a component of
corporate decision making and activities. Be sure to outline, in
each category, how the company’s vision and values are
exemplified.
If the company has a well-developed CSR plan, your additions
should allow its leadership position to be enhanced.
Include all section headings below in the body of the paper.
