Background: At a macro level, Social Responsibility and Social Accountability are explicit priorities for medical schools in Canada and internationally, although the advancement of this vision is still developing. At a micro level, Health Advocacy is important for physicians-in-training as well as practicing physicians. The conceptual model being proposed is that Social Responsibility is connected to mastering Health Advocacy. The University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine has 16 years of experience through a mandatory 4th year clerkship course entitled the Ambulatory/Community Experience (ACE) which from inception emphasized Social Responsibility and Health Advocacy. The objective of this retrospective study was to provide a model to support the acquisition of Health Advocacy and the development of socially responsible medical students.Methods: A conceptual model with three distinct elements: 1) ambulatory/community placements, 2) individual pedagogical approaches and 3) narrative, reflective assignments was applied.Results: The three elements of the model, all based on the five ACE learning domains (objectives) and embedded in CanMEDS type competencies, are effective and appear to support  achievement of competency in Health Advocacy.Conclusion: A model which includes vetted ambulatory/community placements, individual pedagogical approaches, and narrative reflective assignments based on objectives with a Health Advocate perspective appears to encourage Social Responsibility in medical students.

Social Responsibility is a concept that has been approached from different perspectives by theoreticians and institutions. Initially, this was limited exclusively to companies, however, the creation of the Social Capital, Ethics and Development Initiative by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) sought to make educational institutions aware that, like any other organization, they are responsible for the externalities they generate in their environment and their stakeholders. This research approaches the concept of University Social Responsibility (USR) from the scheme proposed by the IDB, which proposes four axes of action for Universities’ CR: Responsible Campus, Professional and Citizen Training, Social Management of Knowledge and Social Participation. The Universidad del Valle has a strategic plan entitled “Universidad del Valle’s Strategic Development Plan” and Regionalization attached thereto. It has also developed its action plan and in the five strategic issues raised herein, its socially responsible approach is clearly identifiable. The North Cauca Facility wherein this study is being developed, even though it does not have a University Social Responsibility Management Model, has attempted to align its practices with its strategic affairs that broadly conform to the four axes proposed by the IDB. This research addresses a relevant and current issue inasmuch as it proposes to develop a diagnosis on the relationship between the four axes of Social Responsibility proposed by the IDB and the practice of Social Responsibility applied at the Universidad del Valle, North Cauca Facility, for the period 2014-2015. In order to answer the research problem, a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive type of study is used, given that the work was based on the documentary information available at the University, while the interviews with the directors of the Institution are used as a tool for oral history. The research method used is the case study, which allows to address a unit of analysis in depth, in this case the USR within the Universidad del Valle, North Cauca Facility.

Two lines of research focus on this chapter: University Social Responsibility and entrepreneurship. Once Univesrities are aware of the importance of introducing socially responsible actions, we refer to the need of Universities to foster the creation of new business, establishing the best conditions for entrepreneurs. In this sense, we study what entrepreneurship means and how it is initiated. At the same time, we set the education on entrepreneurship and how gender differences condition the new creation of firms. Some examples of promoting entrepreneurship are discussed, from the initial actions until the maintaining and growing a company already created. Later, chapter concentrates on the particular case of Spanish Universities, offering a lot of actions for the promotion of entrepreneurship, like projects, awards, chairs, masters, conferences and meeting. It is also important to consider the support of public administration and the role of cluster. The chapter finishes with some considerations about spin off, as the result of entrepreneurship from the University.

Innovation In Higher Education

The issue of Corporate Social Responsibility has received increasing attention over the last few years. Organizations are introducing socially responsible practices in their strategies in order to be more competitive. At the same time, universities are also aware of the importance of the triple organizational vision (economic, social and environmental) and they are making a lot of actions to improve their performance. In this chapter, the authors state that innovation in Higher Education is an important fact and express the experience of innovation from socially responsible universities. These entities have to know their current state and the future demands from the different stakeholders with the intention of satisfy them. This chapter studies how to drive innovation and how to structure it at the university context, how to inform about University Social Responsibility and, finally, the benefits for socially responsible universities. Finally, in this chapter the authors link three important topics today: Corporate Social Responsibility, Universities, and Innovation. As a result, they propose a set of aspects in which Universities could innovate by improving their social responsibility.

Purpose This paper aims to propose a thesis about the historical evolution of the relationship of the European University in relation to the idea of social responsibility. Design/methodology/approach This paper is philosophical, conceptual and theoretical and in proffering a bold thesis, has an argumentative character appropriate to that style. Findings Three stages can be identified over the past 200 years in the relationship between the university and the matter of social responsibility, being successively tacit, weak and now hybrid. In the present stage, new spaces are opening for the university to transcend social responsibility, moving to a worldly and earthly responsibility. However, this new stage is having to contend against the university in an age of cognitive capitalism. As such, a large but hitherto unnoticed culture war is present, the outcome of which is unclear. Research limitations/implications The scholarship informing this paper is wide-ranging and multi-disciplinary (history, social theory, philosophy, critical higher education studies, literature on the idea of the university, comparative higher education, ethics and sociology of knowledge), as it has to be in sustaining the large thesis being contended for, and it has broad hinterlands, which can only lightly be intimated. Practical implications The key implication is that the idea of social responsibility is currently being construed too narrowly and that, therefore, universities – in developing their corporate strategies and missions – should be more ambitious and set their responsibility goals against horizons that go well beyond the social realm. Originality/value The thesis developed here is original in offering a three-stage theory of a 200-year evolution of the socially responsible European university. A new stage of an Earthly responsibility is glimpsed but it is having to contend with a continuing performative university, so leading to a hidden culture war and such that the future of university social responsibility is in doubt.

The present study analyses the speech of the University under which it is recognized the presence of “University Social Responsibility” by questioning one of its participants, the student body. The objective of this research is to provide relevant conclusions to its vision and raise them to the university´s policy-makers. A methodological quantitative and qualitative systematized research was done in the course of two academic years involving 206 Social Education´ students at the University of Valencia (Spain). The study´s goal has been to carry out a participatory diagnosis on the situation of the USR and Sustainable Development based on Vallaeys, De la Cruz and Sasia questionnaire (2008). Among the results it is necessary to emphasize that the students perceive that the university provides them an ethics and citizenship training that enables them to be socially responsible individuals. However they perceive that the value-based policies should be addressed in a more coordinated and cross-cutting approach.

The Impact

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is gaining more and more importance nowadays. It is connected with the activity that includes the ethical conduct of the organization towards the public, in particular its recipients, employees, other stakeholders as well as the impact on the natural environment. The universities deserve special attention in terms of socially responsible activities, which play a huge role in shaping the society, its development and are a source of information for it. The role of higher education in the context of social responsibility is special. This is due to the fact that, like any educational institution, they are responsible for educating and taking care of young people. Therefore, they bear huge responsibility for the knowledge and skills they provide their students, and thus how they will be able to cope in their lives. However, the university responsibility does not end with this. In addition to educational activities, they also conduct research activities. This means that it is in them that new discoveries are made and the further direction of societies development is shaped. The topic of the work is research in the field of university management strategy in the context of the idea of ​​social responsibility. The work includes collecting, processing and analyzing data, information and knowledge necessary to identify applicable management strategies at selected universities. The developed conclusions will contribute to building a list of recommendations of a new university management strategy taking into account the concept of social responsibility.

Over the past decades, concern about the environment has become not only a significant public issue but also a crucial topic in academic research. A sharp rise in environmentalism has emerged. Despite an increase in consumer expectations for business to do more for society than deliver on economic conditions and many firms' increasingly adopting socially-responsible stances, marketplace behaviour highlights a gap between what consumers report they expect from firms and what they are prepared to reward. This paper discusses the review of past papers to identify the gaps and to frame a conceptual model as per the consumer and firm’s expectation from CSR policies.
