En el documento se presenta el diagnóstico de los factores clave, considerados mediante el modelo de RSU- URSULA y su relación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Administración de la Universidad del Azuay, mediante investigación exploratoria- descriptiva con un enfoque mixto. Contiene, además, una revisión de fuentes de datos secundarios, investigación cualitativa y cuantitativa; en la parte cualitativa, se realizaron entrevistas a expertos y entrevistas a profundidad; para la investigación cuantitativa, se desarrollaron encuestas con los cuestionarios del modelo ya elaborado, dirigido a estudiantes, docentes, investigadores, docentes involucrados con proyectos de vinculación y personal administrativo, con cuyos resultados se propuso un modelo basado en una ponderación de factores, en el cual, se determinó qué acciones son las emergentes a realizar, en respuesta a los resultados determinados para la investigación. El resultado fue que, para la Facultad de Ciencias de la Administración, los ámbitos: gestión organizacional, formación estudiantes y docentes, cognición, participación social y formación, se encuentran en proceso de mejora en cuanto a sus acciones de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria.Palabras clave: Modelo URSULA, Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, Responsabilidad Social Universitaria. Abstract Social responsibility arises when an organization becomes aware of itself, what surrounds it and its role with its surroundings, an ethical will and interest in doing the “right thing” so that the internal and external beneficiaries of the organization’s services are “ well”. Ca- rrying out “the good” will depend on the consensus and / or negotiation between the company and its actors, according to this, actions of what is known as Social Responsibility will be generated.The document presents the diagnosis of the key factors considered by means of the URSULA MSW model and its relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals, in the Faculty of Administration Sciences of the University of Azuay, through exploratory-descriptive research with a mixed approach, which contains a review of secondary data sources, qualitative and quantitative research, in the qualitative part, interviews with experts and in-depth interviews were conducted; For quantitative research, surveys were developed with the questionnaires of the model already prepared, aimed at students, teachers, researchers, teachers involved with outreach projects and administrative staff; With whose results a model based on a weighting of factors was proposed in which it was determined which actions are the emergent ones to be carried out in response to the results determined for the investigation; As a result, for the Faculty of Administration Sciences, in the areas: organizational management, student and teacher training, cognition, social participation and training, it is in the process of improvement in terms of its University Social Responsibility actions.

The use of active methodologies in the university is a priority to achieve higher quality learning. One of these methodologies with the greatest potential for training in competencies is Project-Oriented Learning (PLA), using it in an innovative way. Associating the use of this methodology with the objectives of sustainable development, which have become even more important since the Pandemic by COVID-19, can be a good idea to achieve a more sustained and situated learning. The aim of this study is to find out to what extent research on teaching innovation with Project-Oriented Learning is associated with the Sustainable Development Goals. A systematic review was carried out as indicated by PRISMA through the following databases: WOS and Scopus. WOS found 15 articles on AoP and 6 on Project-Oriented Learning and sustainability. In Scopus 2 were found in 2019. The main results show that in the University, especially in the branches of engineering, AoP is widely used, however, it is rarely related to SDGs. Among the conclusions, we highlight the need for research on project-oriented learning and sustainable development goals.

This paper analyses the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations in the 2030 ‘Transforming the World’ Agenda, from 2015, as a contribution to business ethics and ethical economy. The Sustainable Development Goals combine political aims with visions of economic development and social justice and are therefore important for business ethics and corporate social responsibility. Thus, the Sustainable Development Goals constitute a driver for ethical economic development and social change. However, there is a need for critical analysis of the possibilities of Sustainable Development Goals of functioning as a vision and a strategic tool for management and governance. The aim of the paper is to investigate these possibilities of the Sustainable Development Goals of contributing to business ethics and ethical economy with mobilization of business, public institutions and organizations, and non-governmental organizations. After presenting the Sustainable Development Goals, the paper critically discusses their scope and potential for corporate social responsibility, business ethics and corporate sustainability. This involves the problem of how the Sustainable Development Goals can contribute to a transformation towards another economy. As a contribution to business ethics, the paper elaborates on partnerships for Sustainable Development Goals, sustainable performance management systems and the Sustainable Development Goal Compass with the aim of interpreting Sustainable Development Goals as a basis for progressive business ethics models.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 is the United Nations development agenda for developing the economy, society, and environment. Moreover, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an emerging topic in the business world. The paper aims to pursue business students’ knowledge and perception of CSR activities linked to SDGs. The quantitative research design and descriptive research analysis were used. The data were collected from business learning students of three public universities in Bangladesh. CSR’s perception-related items positively correlated with Spearman’s Rho’s formula. The descriptive statistics revealed perceptions of CSR activities among respondents, which are directly and indirectly related to SDGs. In addition, the two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test showed a variation of perceptions among groups. The findings of this study showed respondents had an acceptable knowledge level on CSR activities. There was a positive perception of respondents on economic and social dimensions of SDGs and mainly included in philanthropic and economic fields of CSR. Besides, their consciousness of the environmental dimension related to ethical and legal activities of CSR concepts was comparatively low. Finally, favourable knowledge and perception of business studying students in CSR activities are imperative for the successful implementation of SDGs.

Our article tackles the timely and important issue of the university collaboration aimed at shaping up the sustainable urban areas and contributing to their development through the teaching and research. Universities provided qualified labour force, yield novel research solutions and act as hubs for entrepreneurial activity in urban areas. In this article, we show that even though most of the universities are concentrated in large urban centres and capital regions, many of them are located in small rural areas and have a profound effect on them. We also demonstrate the impact of universities on the sustainable development which is done through the sustainable education as well as the R&D approaches. These effects are very relevant for the co-designing of sustainable rural areas that can follow the principles of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the green policies imposed by the majority of the local and central governments around the world.
