analyse whether a positive relationship exists in the property industry between CSR and FP.
  • Background to the study

It is an old and hotly debated issue whether adopting corporate social responsibility (CSR) can improve a corporation’s financial performance (FP). Thus, a strong understanding of the relationship between CSR and FP would be beneficial in terms of corporate managers, stockholders, and stakeholders. In addition, a company adopts CSR generally due to its benefits to the external aspect of reduction in social inequality and environmental improvement, and internal for enhancement of reputation, potentially charge a premium price for products or services, also has the capability to upgrade recruitment and retaining top-quality staffs. The foremost attraction is that companies adopting CSR can result in financial benefits that are greater than the respective costs, thereby increasing FP in the future. Accordingly, adopting CSR can be beneficial to both company’s shareholders and stakeholders, which creates a possible win–win situation (Wu & Shen 2013).

The majority of the scholar mentioned that CSR has gradually become the consensus of all the enterprises in the world, and deem CSR is an activity indispensable (Wu & Shen 2013; Park & Ghauri 2015; Liu, Saleem, Shabbir, Shabbir, Irshad & Khan 2021).

According to the Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction (Globalabc 2021), there is 36 % of global final energy consumption for the building and construction sector, 37% of energy-related CO2 emissions, and there is a fear that construction demand will push up emissions in Asia and estimated that could be doubled the building stock by 2050 anticipation.

Global material use is expected to more than double by 2060, with a third of the growth coming from materials used in the building and construction sector. For the property industry, environmental pollution is a problem that deserves the foremost attention.

The new CSR equation is transparency plus good governance for brand trustworthiness, transparency is an important part of building trust between organizations and their stakeholders, yet many are still struggling to uphold this principle, while good governance is more than just doing good and improving your reputation. It’s a way to catch problems early without any nasty surprises (Miranda 2016).

Describe an ethical dilemma that you have had to deal with at some point in your life.How did you resolve the ethical dilemma?

Describe an ethical dilemma that you have had to deal with at some point in your life.  Preferably choose one that relates to your work, but if you can only think of one outside of work, then describe that.  Do not name any of the parties involved including your employer but provide enough detail that your classmates can understand the dilemma clearly. Be sure to use APA citations to connect your answers to the readings.
USE AN ETHICAL DILEMMA THAT RELATES OUTSIDE OF WORK; I HAD TO CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT I TELL MY BEST FRIEND NOT TO MARRY A TOXIC PERSON; IN THE END I DIDN’T

  • How did you resolve the ethical dilemma?
  • Can you recall the reasoning process that you went through in reaching a resolution?
  • Did anything you read in this week’s reading change your perspective on the dilemma?
  • In looking back, are you satisfied with the decision you made, or might you have come to a different decision if you had different ways of approaching the dilemma?

You must start a thread before you can read and reply to other threads

 

 

Initial Post: The initial post should thoroughly answer all parts of the discussion question(s), using course material to support your ideas and including proper citations. One or two in-text citations per discussion post will probably be insufficient; refer frequently to multiple course readings.

 

 

When you reflect upon your experience, what did you learn about campaigning, politics or political strategy?

Personal reflections

Answer each of the following two questions by composing a short essay. Be thoughtful, introspective and focused on your personal volunteer experience. Apply class concepts where relevant. Each essay should be 400-1200 words (1 – 3 pages) in length, single or 1.5 space, 12 point font. The sub-questions may guide your responses, but you are not required to answer all of them. Similarly, it is up to your discretion as to whether you follow the order of the sub-questions in organizing your thoughts.

 

  1. What did you learn about yourself? Do you think you could run for office one day? Do you think you “have what it takes” to run for office? Are there particular traits or qualities that you think is important for candidates “on the campaign trail” or staff to have? Do you think you have these traits or qualities? Do you think you might have these traits or qualities in the future?

 

  1. When you reflect upon your experience, what did you learn about campaigning, politics or political strategy?
  • Did you, or the campaign, seemingly apply any lessons from the course while volunteering?
  • Was there anything you learned in the course that could have helped the campaign or increased the likelihood of success of particular activities you engaged in?
  • Did your experiences highlight or refute anything about politics and political strategy you learned in this class or previous classes?
  • Based on your experiences, how do personal characteristics like gender, race, age or ethnicity affect campaigns and people’s judgements of candidates?

 

Extra Credit

On the assumption that the more you volunteer, the wider range of experiences you will have and/or the more responsibility you will be given, additional hours volunteering will also enrich your journal and evaluations, indirectly raising your grade. You will receive extra-credit for up to 12 additional hours spent volunteering on the campaign as long as you continue to maintain your journal. Each additional 3 hours will result in roughly ¼ grade increase (or 1.5 marks) up to an 81 (A-). For example: If your journal and post-campaign reflections and reactions earn you a grade of a 74 (B), three additional hours of volunteering will raise your grade to a 75.5, and three more hours will raise the grade to a B+ (77). Once you earn an 81, no extra credit will be awarded (but hopefully, you will enjoy and benefit from the extra experience).

Do you think there is anything the local candidate and his/her campaign could have done better/differently? Why?

Campaign Activities, Strategy and Success Questions

The first questions on this list are primarily descriptive questions but may require some inference. Later questions provide you with an opportunity to make some [speculative] evaluations. Respond to each of the following questions as short-answers ranging from 100 words to no more than 700 words.

  1. What did the candidate communicate to voters or contributors to gain their support? How would you describe the main theme of the candidate’s messaging? Did the candidate focus on a particular message? Were these messages any different than the party leader’s messaging? Did the messaging change over the course of the campaign? Could you tell if this message was adapted for different audiences, venues or channels? If so, how was it adapted?
  2. Why did s/he choose these messaging strategies? Did s/he choose these messages based on party (or leadership) instructions, personal strengths, previous campaign experiences or on advice from professional strategists? Did the messaging respond to voter feedback, his/her opponents’ messaging strategy, or something else?
  3. Did the campaign specifically target any particular group of voters – in general or when you were actively engaged in the campaign? Why was this target chosen? Was this target special to your candidate’s ward, area of town, or were similar voters targeted all across or elsewhere in the GTA?
  4. How did people in the target group respond to the message/campaign? Consider your own experiences with the campaign, but also consider the election returns to gauge whether the messaging strategy succeeded.
  5. Did the candidate win? Was s/he expected to win by others? By campaign staff? Did s/he do better or worse than expected? Did s/he do better or worse than the candidate from the same party in the last provincial/federal elections? Did s/he do better or worse than candidates from the same party in neighboring ridings?
  6. Why do you think s/he did better/worse than expected? Why did s/he do better/worse than other recent candidates with similar backgrounds, political experience or partisan affiliation?
  7. Do you think there is anything the local candidate and his/her campaign could have done better/differently? Why? Do you think the candidate or his/her staff might have opposed your idea?

 

Name three things that stuck in your mind about your service experience; what bored, surprised, shocked, appalled, intrigued, amused or interested you? What was the best/worst/most challenging thing that happened in your volunteer placement?

Post-campaign evaluations and reactions

Carefully organize your thoughts in order to be both clear and concise (brevity in this section is better than being long-winded!). Some of these questions are personal, some involve details about the campaign that you will often be able to infer through your experiences or general observations. However, you may want to interview the candidate or a member of his/her staff for insights to help answer these questions while volunteering or in a follow-up interview after the campaign concludes.

 

Personal reactions

There are no right or wrong answers in this section. The best grades will be given to those who did the best job articulating and evaluating their experiences – good, bad and indifferent. While some students tend to be loquacious, especially in response to the first question, most answers range between 100 and 350 words.

  1. Name three things that stuck in your mind about your service experience; what bored, surprised, shocked, appalled, intrigued, amused or interested you? What was the best/worst/most challenging thing that happened in your volunteer placement?
  2. What was your primary responsibility during the campaign? Evaluate the worthiness of your work or the specific campaign activities you participated in. Did your efforts seem to make a difference? Why or why not?
  3. Would you ever want to volunteer for this candidate – or another candidate- ever again? Why or why not?
