Corporate volunteering (CV) is a new phenomenon in the activities of Russian companies. Based on the use of diachronic analysis, a comparative study of the transformation of the essence and content of corporate volunteering in the works of foreign and domestic scientists and specialists has been carried out. There has been revealed a shift in emphasis from CV as an element of corporate social responsibility, to CV as an independent business process. Due to the novelty of this phenomenon, as well as the complex of characteristics determined on the basis of the use of synchronous analysis, it has been proved that CV can be defined as one of the forms of social innovation.

Shed Light

<p>Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the context of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has become an important and substantial area of study for quite a few years. In this literature, while so much research has shed light on what makes SMEs integrate CSR into their business strategy, the existing results regarding their economic, social, and environmental motives are contradictory. In this article, we aim at making a contribution by conducting an integrative study. More specifically, we compare the roles of economic, social, and environmental motives in driving SMEs to make CSR become an integral part of their strategic planning and routine operational performance. Our sample includes 155 French SMEs.</p>

Extended Review

The fast moving globalization has given room for multiple problems related to the environment we live in. CSR is a tool to sort out the social issues. The ultimate purpose of a corporation is to get profit but at the same time in the process of making money companies should keep in their mind the social responsibility they have towards the society. The procedure of assessing an organization’s impact is the look out of CSR and understand the entire environment and all the stakeholders. The activities of CSR need to be sustainable and should in no way affect the goals of the organization. The Indian perspective of CSR initiatives has taken brilliant route where CSR is integrated into the business process. The paper mainly focuses on the various shades of CSR in India presented with statistical date, an extended review on literature, and CSR initiatives by few companies.

In recent years, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has attracted much interest in both the academic world and the professional, proof of this are many studies on this topic that have been made. However, most studies of CSR focus on larger organizations, with few studies focusing on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and even less on family SMEs. For this reason, the objective of this research is to determine whether there are differences in orientation towards CSR between family SMEs and non-familiar ones, and if this fact can be influenced by gender and the level of formal studies of the manager, among other factors. The results, on a sample of 123 SMEs, indicate that family SMEs are more socially responsible than no familiar ones.
