    Prakash Sethi, Founder and CEO, Sethi International Center for Corporate Accountability, Inc.


    An important dimension of organizational accountability, social issues are rapidly becoming part of the day-to-day challenges for ethics and compliance executives. They are generally associated with an organization’s core business activities and result from the social consequences—especially unintended and/or negative ones—of the organization’s business activities. They represent a broader perspective on social responsibility, which frequently deals with the more limited activities of corporate citizenship and philanthropy.

    This first module in the Sethi International Center for Corporate Accountability’s (SICCA’s) Advanced Management Program in Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability, “Strategic Management of Social Issues,” focuses on the analysis of social issues within the framework of issue life-cycle and its links to corporate response patterns. Its objective is to assist managers in assigning priorities to various social issues and matching them to specific response patterns based on the intensity and frequency of an issue’s occurrence and the potential cost-risk to the organization when a response is inadequate or inappropriate. The session uses many real examples and promises to prepare attendees to meet the challenges of societal expectations.

    Attendance to this special seminar is limited to 25 persons. (SICCA seminar takes place on Tuesday, September 21, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. PT.)
