“…On the other hand, Karwowska (2021) proposed a normative model that integrated the CSV at a strategic level, based on existing USR models. In terms of indicators, there have been efforts to adapt GRI standards to the creation of USR indicators (Corretge and Miret, 2018) as well as models for creating university strategies (Dabrowski et al , 2018). All these components that are presented in the literature and other elements that are part of standards and accreditations were considered within the model presented.…”

Purpose This study aims to define a business school model of social responsibility (SR) and sustainability and describe how the implementation of this model impacts on small- and mid-sized enterprises (SME) and stakeholders in the chain. Design/methodology/approach The model was built based on a conceptual analysis about the literary and documentary review in recognized databases of scientific publications and models of SR, accreditations and impact and quality report systems of business schools. The implementation of the model was based on a project that involved Peruvian SME. Data were collected through surveys administered to the study population. The results were confirmed through in-depth interviews. Analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive-analytical methods were used to present the SR model. Findings This model focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), partnerships and solved relevant social and economic problems. It also allowed the growth of the micro entrepreneur, the family, the company, the society and other stakeholders in the chain. Research limitations/implications The model was validated in one business school but generated more results than the expected. It is recommended to replicate it in other organizations. It has been developed in pandemic and post-pandemic situations. Practical implications The model was based on many impact models that considered the SDGs and relevant alliance generation that involved stakeholders in the chain. It also contributed to the development of entrepreneurs and the society. Social implications The model benefited people, society and companies. The program aimed to train and formalize entrepreneurs and generate social and economic development. Originality/value This study allowed moving from theory to practice in topics of SR and sustainability. The main original aspect is that the model was based on the Unión de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria Latino Americana model; the Business Graduates Association, European Quality Improvement System, Business school Impact System, Global Reporting Initiative standards, the Responsible Business Conduct and the SDGs.

“…Carroll ( 1999 ) argued that the modern form of CSR originated from the work of economist Bowen's ( 2013 ) book, “Social Responsibilities of the Businessman”. Dąbrowski et al ( 2018 ) concluded that SR means specific obligations to improve the quality of life of the people.…”

A Systematic Review of University Social Responsibility in Post-Conflict Societies: The Case of the Great Lakes Region of East Africa

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Social Responsibility (SR) commitments of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) alongside their long-standing functions of teaching and research have been recognized in literature. However, University Social Responsibility (USR) remains a relatively unexplored topic, especially in the post-conflict societies of the Great Lakes Region of East Africa (GLREA). The main objective of this paper is to document USR best practices, challenges and opportunities in GLREA universities. To reach this objective, a search was conducted in the major academic databases, where ten studies out of 93 found from 2000 to 2020 were included for review. Additionally, universities’ website materials, particularly Vision and Mission Statements (VMS) were considered to complement the review in a well established sense of USR in GLREA universities. A narrative review was conducted because quantitative data were not feasible due to a significant level of heterogeneity between the included studies. The overall findings indicated that the scholarship of engagement in the regional context is not a luxury of HEIs as it is in many western universities, but rather a necessity in countries which are still undergoing the early stages of reconstruction. Specifically, the results obtained were twofold: First, the integrated SR in GLREA universities is an emerging agenda, despite its potential for growth. Second, the development of USR in the GLREA is connected to and influenced by the history of African Higher Education, and the institutional traces of that history’s influence can be found in GLREA. Finally, recommendations for USR practitioners are given, and a conclusion is drawn

“…This diversity may stem from the fact that universities have started to develop their CSR strategies relatively recently. Finally, we must highlight that there are no universal standards for the positioning of the strategy in the overall development plans of the university, its scope, the process of its development or the way it is communicated (Dąbrowski et al, 2018). The purpose of this research, conducted by the research pair Dincer a Dincer (2012) was to explore the construct of brand social responsibility (BSR) and to develop a scale to measure this construct.…”

Aim – The aim of the article was to summarize and analyze published scien-tific findings from 2005 to the present in the context of CSR and diversity trends, which are viewable in selected scientific databases. Publications available in the scientific databases WOS and Research Gate were used. Methodology - The method used for the research is a systematic review. Attention was paid primarily to the examination of the content and perspec-tive on the issue at hand. Analyzing changes in CSR and diversity trends in the workplace not only provides a comprehensive view of the current state of play that can help improve CSR and assist managers with diversity man-agement, but also predicts changes that may occur in these industries in the future. For this reason, the following research questions were con-structed: What changes have occurred in CSR over time? What changes have occurred in diversity trends in the work environment over time? Findings -The results section contains, among other things, a summary of the authors’ methodologies and results. The results of this work show the speed of evolution of these topics and from the given findings, predictions can be made about the future development of CSR or diversity in the work environment. The biggest factor that has stirred those waters within cor-porate diversity has been globalization, this has caused many migrant work-ers of different races and religions. If a company knows how to work with these changes, it can use diversity to its advantage, but in some places, diversity can have a rather negative effect, especially diversity of languages in the workplace. As already mentioned, diversity and CSR trends are con-stantly changing and evolving. Limitations of the study The limitation of this study is mainly dealing with the available publications on the mentioned scientific databases. Most of the studies reviewed focused with the situation in Europe and the United States. It is important to note that due to the rapid development and com-prehensiveness of the topic, not all changes in the areas of CSR and diversi-ty trends may have been listed. Practical implications - This research shows in a relatively short period of time a huge lap in the perception of employee diversity in the workplace and in the development of CSR around the world. Originality/Value -The research findings can contribute to an overall as-sessment of the current situation and to possible predictions for the future.
