Abstract

This article reports a study of how leading U.S. business schools incorporate one important dimension of corporate citizenship—corporate involvement in community economic development (CI/CED)—in their curricula and programs. Corporate citizenship, or social responsibility, is shown to have several important and unexpected locations in business education. In addition, the authors develop a rationale forwhy and how specific topics such as CI/CED as well as the general topic of corporate citizenship are appropriate for business school attention. © 2002, Sage Publications.
