Implementing social entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility (CSR) concepts in Russia is discussed in this chapter. CSR and social enterprises have been developing dynamically in Russia since the mid-2000s, and the author believes that they can be used to foster further social and economic transition. The issues related to the Russian success stories of social enterprises and socially responsible corporate behavior are outlined. An emphasis is made on identifying government and private institutions and instruments supporting the social activity of profit and nonprofit organizations. Techniques for evaluating CSR in Russia are described. Due to incomplete data in nonfinancial reports it is difficult to derive a cost-benefit analysis for CSR projects. Instead, indicators for nonfinancial reports are selected and indices are constructed by measuring the quality and frequency of their disclosure. The chapter concludes by outlining the main challenges and potential drivers to promote further development.

Zusammenfassung Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit der Unterstützungslandschaft für Social Entrepreneurship (SE) im DACH-Raum und liefert Antworten auf die Fragen, welche Organisationen SE im DACH-Raum fördern, wie und warum diese Organisationen SE fördern und welche Typen von Sozialunternehmen gefördert werden. Zur Beantwortung dieser Forschungsfragen wurden in einer quantitativ empirischen Datenerhebung Entscheidungsträger aus Organisationen im DACH-Raum befragt, die SE finanziell und nicht-finanziell unterstützen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen sowohl ein starkes Wachstum des SE-Unterstützungsbereichs über die letzten Jahre als auch eine zunehmende Heterogenität der verschiedenen Organisationsarten, Unterstützungsinstrumente und geförderten Sozialunternehmen. Im Gegensatz zu Forschungsergebnissen im verwandten Forschungsfeld der Corporate Social Responsibility, zeigen wir, dass die Unterstützungsmotive „Employer Branding“ und „Reputation“ für Unterstützende von Sozialunternehmen eine nachrangige Rolle spielen. Vielmehr scheinen das Bestreben nach Veränderung und die Förderung der Ausbreitung von SE im DACH-Raum bei Unterstützenden im Vordergrund zu stehen. Wir identifizieren eine Unterstützungslücke insbesondere in der Wachstumsphase von Sozialunternehmen, die mithilfe von politischer und privatwirtschaftlicher Unterstützung geschlossen werden könnte. Abstract This paper deals with the support landscape for Social Entrepreneurship (SE) in the DACH-region. It provides answers to the questions about which organizations support SE in the DACH-region, how and why they support SE and what characterizes the social ventures supported. We use a quantitative empirical approach to answer these research questions by surveying decision-makers from organizations in the DACH-region who support SE financially and non-financially. The results show a strong growth of the SE support landscape over the last years but also an increased heterogeneity of the different types of organizations, support instruments and supported social ventures. In contrast to results identified in the related research area of Corporate Social Responsibility, we show that the motives ‘employer branding’ and ‘reputation’ play a minor role for supporters of social enterprises. Instead, the pursuit of change and the support to promote the spread of SE in the DACH area seem to be in the focus of supporters. We identify a support gap, especially in the growth phase of social enterprises, which could be closed with support of the political and private sector.

This article analyzes the complexity of the linkages between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and firm performance in Morocco and to decompose this complexity through a bidirectional sense of causality. Using data surveyed from 74 Moroccan listed firms, we conduct an econometric modeling to measure this relationship bilaterally and to investigate the underlying factors behind this association. The empirical study proves the existence of a positive association between CSR and firm performance in both directions in the Moroccan context and suggests that the more social enterprises are, the more they achieve better financial results. The mutual linkage between social and financial aspects allows us to draw some managerial implications and set up further research directions.

Corporate Social Responsibility has become more significant among companies and other institutions. Nevertheless, the traditional approach of corporate social responsibility, based on preventing the possible negative impact of irresponsible and unethical practices, is no longer enough. The profound socio-economic changes, accelerated as a result of the global economic crisis, demand a further step respect to corporate social responsibility paradigm linking to the so-called social entrepreneurship, understood here as the incorporation of new social demands to business models. This chapter aims to redefine the concept of social entrepreneurship from an eclectic point of view and present a methodological approach for their measurement as a tool for business strategic planning. The theoretical proposal of social entrepreneurship tries to link creating shared value concept with the stakeholder theory, paying special attention to the Social Return on Investment (SROI) method, together with neuroscientific approach, as tools for the measurement of social value.

Background: Different studies and development interventions have con­firmed that socio-economic progress of a society is largely influenced by the exhibited level of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social entrepre­neurship orientation taken into account. This reality may serve in the same magnitude in context of present Nepalese corporate sector. However, differ­ent studies indicate that only a limited number of organizations are involved in such activities in the present context of Nepal. On the other hand, truthful participation with corporate social responsibility (CSR) related initiatives has been made mandatory in many countries thereby governing the CSR initiatives by defined rules and regulations. Objectives: The thrust of this paper was to understand the magnitude and direction of CSR and social entrepreneurial orientation of the Nepalese corporate sector, its current state, issues, challenges and ways forward. Methods: Accomplished on qualitative paradigm of study as a blend of guided literature reviews, seminar discourses and general situation ob­servation and analyses, it may be claimed as a developmental discourse. Results: The Nepalese corporate sector has been positively inclined to­wards enhancement of brand image, reputation and societal relationship by means of truthful engagement in CSR and societal entrepreneurship initiatives. Conclusions: The attainment of socio-economic well-being can be wit­nessed by implementing effective CSR and social entrepreneurship ini­tiatives. Insufficient preparedness of the public agencies with lack of fol­low-up, financing crises, traditional corporate policies and procedures have been the impeding issues affecting the design and execution of CSR and social entrepreneurship initiatives at present in Nepal. Implications: Required strict policy regulations at governing level and ef­fective programming at implementation at corporate or industry level.
