DIMENSION OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Social responsibility in marketing extends beyond promoting products and services to include the ethical, social, and environmental impacts of business decisions. In an era increasingly shaped by digital technologies and artificial intelligence, marketers must address challenges such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, misinformation, and the exclusion of vulnerable groups. While AI offers powerful tools for understanding and engaging consumers, its use must be guided by principles of fairness, transparency, and respect for human dignity. This course invites students to critically examine these issues and to envision marketing practices that balance business objectives with ethical responsibility, seeing people not just as consumers, but as individuals and members of a broader society.
