3. Work on your student’s portfolio.

Student’s portfolio – what is it?

You will need to present the Student’s Portfolio before the beginning of each seminar. It gives the professor a proof you’ve completed the necessary readings and ready to answer on the seminar.

You will need to present all chapters of the Student’s Portfolio for a credit.

Student’s Portfolio – chapter 1: Present the accurately and neat typed or written chapter in a single folder before the beginning of the seminar. 1. Give the definition of association (approx. 1-2 sentences). 2. Name 5 reasons why the associations are vital for the Ukrainian society and the Ukrainian state (only name them, without the long explanations why). 3. Write the annotation of the research Article, that follows (approx. 200- 300 words). Annotation of the research Article should include: author, title, main ideas and arguments.

The research Article to be annotated:

The research Article to be annotated is about the corporate social responsibility. Before reading and writing the annotation please be sure that you understand what the corporate social responsibility is. Please do not fully rely on the Ukrainian and Russian language sources – the concept of the corporate social responsibility is extremely new for the post-Soviet societies, and the misunderstandings (or the narrow understandings) of the corporate social responsibility by the researchers occurs sometimes.

I would recommend visiting the web-page of Professor Bryane Michael, where you can find a lot of information about the corporate social responsibility in the presentations (PowerPoint) and Articles. One of the presentations is about Ukraine (Corporate Social Responsibility in Ukraine: Why to Do It and How to Do It, National Economics Academy (2007)).
