I wanted to find ways that can assist argue CSI beyond the sublime PR speak; “cause related” marketing and reputation management jargon.

In my quest to find ways to move CSI to the centre of business that could possibly be future research work that I would like to look at within the broader focus of corporate social responsibility.

Such research would be in line with my values and career anchors and like the MC would add value to both my personal and professional life.
In all I believe I have achieved the objectives that I had set out at the beginning of my MBA studies.
The Management challenge bares testimony to my ability to use all the theory that I accumulated through the years of studying towards the MBA and applying the knowledge (while reinforcing a structured analytical way of thinking) to find solutions to a real life management
