More and more companies are turning their attention to business socialization. Literary sources were analyzed in the article and it was determined that all theoretical approaches to the formation of a corporate social responsibility strategy can be combined into the following concepts: instrumental concept, political concept, integrative concept, ethical concept. In the context of the economic crisis, it is necessary to focus on combining the instrumental approach with the integrative one. It should be achieved by introducing corporate social responsibility into the activities of enterprises in a such way as to ensure improving the image of the enterprise, which will lead to an increase in financial and other performance indicators, and the opportunity of socially significant actions, contribute to the development of society while integrating the principles of corporate social responsibility into all areas of the enterprise activity.

The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical approach in order to propose a social responsibility management model for project management. This theoretical support is based on the topics of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Project Management (PM). In recent times, CSR has been widely applied in permanent organizations, but there is insufficient evidence to indicate that CSR has been systematically incorporated into projects, which are temporary organizations, specifically in PM practices. The method employed began by setting the topics that should be consulted. Then, the documentary research was carried out using renowned databases and books in the two topics, based on the definition of keywords in each of them. Thereafter, the results of the research were classified by topic, and, finally, the theoretical framework was drawn up. The result revolves around items such as social responsibility, CSR, and stakeholders, as regards CSR; and revolves around the items of project and PM, as concerns PM. There is also discussion conducted based on the relationship between CSR and PM, according to the background research. The conclusions relate to the different theoretical approaches found for the concepts of CSR, project, and PM, which frame the development of research.

The experiences of countries that relate to corporate social responsibility differ greatly, and the reason for these differences is due to several reasons, including: the economic, social and cultural policies of the country, the degree of government intervention in corporate activity, and the degree to which governments cover societal needs. Therefore, we find a difference between the theoretical approaches to social responsibility in both European countries and the USA. This research aims to explain these two approaches, by looking at each approach in an analytical manner and then deducing the differences between them, and this is to give an overview about the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and highlight their significant contributions.

In the current environment of increasing social and economic problems in Russian society, it is very important to increase the level of social responsibility of the business community and strengthen its institutional framework. The subject of the study is the organizational and economic relations that arise when corporations and economic entities interact in order to implement social responsibility. The paper begins with a presentation of the main theoretical approaches to defining models of corporate social responsibility of business. Elements of business social responsibility, a risk management system, and priority areas for forming a business social responsibility policy were identified. The novelty element of the research consists in building organizational and structural model of effective interaction between the management of the microsystem and mesosystem and the corporation on issues of social and economic development within the framework of the corporate social responsibility policy. The practical significance of the study is to determine the goals, objectives and principles of interaction between corporations and microsystem and mesosystems within the framework of corporate social responsibility. In addition, the areas and means of such interaction have been identified. The participation of the business community in the development of the social sphere should have a positive impact on maintaining social stability and economic balance.

The paper delineates a heuristic device comprising relationships between levels of instrumentality towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implicit in differential theoretical organizational approaches, associated managerial freedom in ethical decision making, and corresponding managerial moral orientations. Prominent theoretical approaches to CSR including: criticalism, fundamentalism, social corporatism, social institutionalism and moralism identified in the extant literature are delineated. These approaches are synthesised and articulated with the concepts of degrees of CSR instrumentality, ethical freedom and managerial moral orientations to produce a composite heuristic device with specific potential practical implementations. Ramifications of the analysis in terms of developing managers with ethical acumen and providing organizational circumstances allowing this to flourish are briefly discussed.

Business and human rights have not traditionally been addressed or theorized in close connection to each other. Rather, human rights have been seen as the exclusive domain of the state, that is, as a legal or political concept with little relevance or implication for companies. This view has changed dramatically in recent decades. There is now a broad interdisciplinary and dynamic discussion on the potential human rights responsibilities of business. While a systematic debate on the issue can be traced back at least to the mid-1990s, contributions to this debate have increased substantially in the wake of John Ruggie’s appointment as the United Nations Special Representative on Business and Human rights in 2005. This article structures this evolving debate and guides readers to the most relevant sources in the field. The debate has attracted contributions from a wide variety of disciplines and perspectives. This review is limited to contributions published in the broader management and business ethics literature and a selection of key contributions from the legal literature on the topic. Furthermore, with just a few exceptions, it includes only contributions that explicitly refer to human rights in the context of business. Articles that relate to or inform the debate on business and human rights, such as discussions on corporate social responsibility or on human rights in general, but lack the specific connection of both fields were not included.
