BP's Corporate Social Responsibility

|
The
BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is one of the biggest corporate disaster’s
of all time. The energy giant – the fourth largest company in the world – has
been grappling with the fallout of April’s deadly explosion and oil spill, which
has had serious impact on U.S. Gulf Coast industries and the environment.
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of
Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business,
Shreevardhan Lele, Tyser Distinguished Teaching Fellow of Decision Sciences,
discusses what responsibility BP has as a company in the oil spill.
Dr. Lele teaches MBA courses at the Smith School on game theory, statistics
and on the social responsibility of managers. Earlier (2003-06), he served as
the Academic Director of the MBA program at the Smith School. He has received
numerous honors for his teaching and curriculum development
