Class: I wanted to remind everyone that the In Module 8, you will submit your Final Project II Risk Management & Ethical Analysis.  This is a very short paper,  2-3 pages in length that provides a short recap on your corporation and then introduces the CSR Policies of your selected company. 

* Provide a short paragraph or two on EACH topic identified below: 

The paper is designed to provide an brief OVERVIEW &  HIGHLIGHTS on the topics assigned and is NOT an IN-DEPTH exploration of  the topics. This is why the paper has a limit of 2-3 page in length. 

You will need to be focused in your responses and edit each section appropriately in this final paper.  Please use the following format that I have provided for your paper. It  should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical  elements of the final product. Please make sure to review the assignment  rubric found in the week 8 module.
