Damien talks about the readings needed for the subject. A group exercise on ethics for deciding if a tram was to hit either 5 people or hit 1 person. We discussed Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the value add it brings to a business to have CSR as part of its business practices and the benefits to communicate this to its stakeholders. We also discuss the negatives of CSR being used as a public relations stunt.

We also did a Syndicate presentation of an ASX listed company in an industry with social unease or contention where Damien presented for this Syndicate exercise. This actually included the company’s Indigenous strategy, workplace OH&S and green house gas emissions. As Damien was across Indigenous procurement, he was able to speak on the supply needs of procuring from Indigenous businesses directly from his knowledge and experience. Damien’s Syndicate Team continued working on their Leadership assignment.

Damien finished study early that morning before going to bed and didn’t make it to the gym. He woke and went straight to Melbourne Business School for the class to return home, have dinner, then go to the Victorian State Library until 9pm to continue doing study to return home and do more study. He still hasn’t finished all the readings which are intensive and couldn’t discuss the next day’s activity due to confidentiality requirements for future classes. He recorded this video at 12:40am in the morning and couldn’t concentrate to continue study.
